Ride sharing (or Ride App Services as they're known at YVR), have finally landed at YVR! There are three designated pick-up areas at YVR including International Arrivals (level 2), Domestic Arrivals (level 2) and South Terminal. And like regular taxi drop off, there is no designated area for ride hailing drop off at YVR but drivers are welcome to find space within the permitted unloading areas on the curb on level 3.
YVR’s top priority is the safety of its passengers so ridesharing services are highly regulated. The operation of each service is managed independently by the ridesharing company that you book with. Ride hailing companies are responsible for ride and vehicle types, pre-booking policies and fare estimates, which may vary depending on time of day and location. When requesting a ride from the terminal, it is best to do so after you’ve collected your luggage and are ready to leave the airport.
The introduction of ride hailing gives passengers another option for accessing YVR and will increase the overall customer experience coming to and leaving YVR!
