One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: YQB to the Centre des congrès, the international section to a hotel by the Assemblée nationale, the airport to Terminal 30 for a cruise departure. For an arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: from Jean Lesage to an inn inside the walls when you land, and from the inn to Jean Lesage again for your flight home. In February, when Carnaval fills the hotels, the return trip is easier to have settled from the start. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pickup times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at YQB, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport to Quebec City: Route and Drive Time

Jean Lesage airport lies on the west side of the city, and the trip to the centre covers 16 km, usually 20–25 minutes by car. At rush hour or in a snowstorm, it takes longer. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

The end of the drive depends on where you stay. Inside the walls of Old Québec, hotels and inns line narrow streets on the cliff; just outside them stand the Assemblée nationale and the parliament district. Below the cliff, the lower town holds Gare du Palais, the Petit-Champlain quarter and the cruise terminals.

Since spring 2026, work for the TramCité tramway has been moving utilities along boulevard René-Lévesque, which can slow traffic on that axis.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport

YQB is one terminal with a domestic section and an international section; the international section opened in 2017 and was joined to the domestic one in 2019. A flight from Paris or from a sun destination comes into the international section, and passengers clear Canadian customs there before reaching the public area.

For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.

Jean Lesage handled 1,819,553 passengers in 2025, a fraction of the traffic at Montreal, which keeps the arrival simple for a family or a small delegation.

Arriving at Your Address in Quebec City

Old Québec follows its own traffic rules. The City limits coaches inside the walls, and groups on tours are often dropped off in front of the Assemblée nationale; in summer 2026, rue Saint-Jean and rue Saint-Paul became pedestrian streets, and parts of the old town were closed to cars from late morning until late evening. For a hotel or inn there, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

A tunnel joins the Centre des congrès de Québec to the Delta Québec hotel, so delegates can stay indoors in winter. Cruise ships use the Ross-Gaudreault terminal near Petit-Champlain and Terminal 30, built for ships of up to 4,000 passengers.

From Quebec City Back to Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport

The ride out to Jean Lesage takes 20–25 minutes from the old town on an ordinary day, longer in the late-afternoon rush or in heavy snow. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

YQB has no US preclearance. For a flight to the United States, the American formalities take place at the airport where you land, so no extra time is needed for them in Québec; Montréal–Trudeau and Ottawa are the preclearance airports nearest the city.

Cars registered in Quebec must have winter tires from 1 December to 15 March. On a morning after a storm, when the streets of the upper town are still being cleared, set the pickup a little earlier.
