Local knowledge
What changes a Montreal itinerary
- 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.
Areas groups commonly sequence
- • 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
Give us every address on the night and your driver will confirm where a vehicle that size can legally pull in.
Language and paperwork
Quebec’s Charter of the French Language affects how businesses communicate in the province. This page is published in Canadian English; send your request and your notes in French or English, whichever you prefer.
Our Commission des transports du Québec status and the operating entity name both appear on your written agreement — check them with Gouvernement du Québec directly.
Who regulates it
Licensing in Quebec
Chartered passenger transport in Quebec is regulated by Gouvernement du Québec through Commission des transports du Québec. Bus operators in Quebec require a permit from the CTQ; ask us for our permit details and check them with the CTQ. We operate under that regime, and our registration or permit number goes on your written agreement — check it against the regulator directly rather than taking a screenshot from anyone, us included.
On board
What is allowed in the vehicle
Quebec’s alcohol rules differ from Ontario’s; whether drinks are permitted on board depends on our permit and our policy. Get it from us in writing before planning a BYOB trip. The legal drinking age in Quebec is 18. Our on-board policy sits on top of the law and is set by our licence, so ask us for it in writing before the group plans around it — the two are not the same thing.
Airports
Where we can collect you at the airport
Montreal is served by Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL). Charter vehicles are restricted to specific pickup zones rather than the arrivals curb, and the permitted zone is usually not the one taxis use. Send us the flight number and terminal with the booking; we hold in the zone we are permitted to use and tell you exactly where to walk to, and the waiting-time terms are on the quote before you pay.
Routes
Districts that shape an itinerary
Routes here usually revolve around Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal), Downtown and Crescent Street, Plateau-Mont-Royal and Mile End, Griffintown, Laval and Longueuil pickups and Saint-Laurent and the West Island. In dense districts the nearest legal stopping point for a vehicle of any size can be a street or two from the door, and our drivers know which addresses those are. Put every stop on the request and we will tell you where the vehicle can actually pull in, before the night rather than during it.
Due diligence
What to get in writing before you pay
- Ask us for our Commission des transports du Québec number and verify it with Gouvernement du Québec yourself — we would rather you did.
- Ask for the certificate of insurance in the operating company name, and check it is current and covers passengers for hire.
- Ask for the exact vehicle on your date by name and seated capacity, not a category label, and have it written into the agreement.
- Get the itemized total in writing in CAD, including taxes, waiting time, the overtime rate and what happens if the night runs long.
- Read the substitution clause, which sets out what we may send if your vehicle is taken off the road.
- Get the on-board rules in writing — alcohol, food and music policies are set by our licence as well as by law.
