Transferring from Airport to Hotels or HEC Montréal

Taxi fare from the airport to downtown Montréal is approximately $35 Cdn.  As an alternative, the L'aérobus shuttle ($13 Cdn) runs approximately every 20 minutes from the airport to the Montréal Central Bus Station (Berri terminal).  From there you can take the minibus shuttle to most downtown hotels, or you can transfer to the Berri-UQAM Metro station and take the subway to HEC Montréal or to the Université de Montréal residence halls.  Additional information about the subway is available on the Local Transportation page.  Additional information about taxis or the L'aérobus shuttle can be found on either of the airport information links above.
