Quotes, taxes and language in Quebec
Montreal quotes are stated in Canadian dollars with GST and QST itemized separately, so you see both the federal and the provincial tax rather than a blended figure. The drinking age is 18, the youngest in the country, and the on-board alcohol position follows provincial law and our written policy for the vehicle; ask for that policy before the group plans around it. Our pages are published in English, and you can send your request and your itinerary in French or English, whichever you prefer.
Bus operators carrying passengers for compensation in Quebec require a permit from the Commission des transports du Québec, and our permit details go on your written agreement so you can verify them with the CTQ.
Montreal routes and the places that shape them
Montreal is an island, and the bridges decide the schedule. A pickup in Laval or on the South Shore and a night downtown means crossing at the hour everyone else is crossing, and we price the route against the real timing rather than the map distance. Downtown itself is dense and the stopping rules on Sainte-Catherine, in Old Montreal and around the Quartier des Spectacles are enforced, so each venue’s loading point goes on the sheet before the day.
Airport runs use Montréal–Trudeau, where commercial pickups are directed to specific zones; the meeting point and door number are on your confirmation. Montreal is one of our established markets, with enough booking history to publish figures on its city page.
Seasons that move Montreal demand
Festival season runs from the Grand Prix in June through the Jazz Festival and Just for Laughs in July and into August, and downtown closures during those weeks are extensive and change daily. Winter is its own planning problem: cold, snow and the time it takes to load a dressed-up group in minus twenty. Prom and graduation season in late spring and wedding Saturdays through the summer fill the popular vehicle sizes first.
City by city
What our dispatchers plan around in each Quebec city
Montreal
Airports: Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL).
Districts we route through: Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal), Downtown and Crescent Street, Plateau-Mont-Royal and Mile End, Griffintown, Laval and Longueuil pickups, Saint-Laurent and the West Island.
- • Old Montreal streets are narrow and frequently pedestrianised in summer; a full-size party bus may need to load a block away, and your chauffeur will tell you which corner that is before the night.
- • Festival season (June to August) closes major downtown streets; check the City of Montréal notices for the trip date.
- • Quotes are presented in Canadian dollars with GST and QST, and both taxes and the gratuity are itemized separately from the base rate.
- • Winter trips between December and March should allow for snow-clearing delays and reduced curb space.
