Montreal Airport Transportation Services

Passengers have a number of options for transportation to and from the airport. Each option offers a range of prices and advantages. Downtown Montreal is a short distance from the airport, but passengers should keep in mind that Montrealans speak French, so it is important to make sure the driver is English speaking or language barriers might come into play.

Eight car rental companies can be found within the Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport-Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty.
