Traveler advice
Getting around
Getting Around
If you are just looking to public transit around we would recommend just busing or using the sky trains. This is very simple with tapping your credit card when entering public transit. With parking included in the AirBNB, renting a car is a great choice because it allows you to explore the North Vancouver and the Sea to Sky area.
Getting around
Taxi From YVR
Taxiing from YVR is the easiest way to get to the AirBNB. There is an option to Uber but the wait times are long as the Uber have to drive from outside the airport. The taxi fair is a fixed rate of 33CAD so you don’t have to stress about being over charged. Heading back to YVR we would recommend taking an Uber.
