Plan Private Transportation from Richmond
Use the destination guides to compare timing, vehicles and booking details.
The most important planning detail is the actual pickup address. A City Centre hotel, a Steveston residence and an airport property on Sea Island may all be within the same municipality, but they do not have the same loading conditions or route to the next destination.
For airport trips, use current YVR check-in guidance and flight information. For Seattle, Whistler, cruise or ferry travel, add border, weather, terminal and luggage requirements before deciding on pickup time.

Practical Guidance
Match the Vehicle to the Journey
Longer trips, luggage, skis, cruise bags and group travel may require more cargo space than a standard sedan.
An executive sedan works well for smaller parties with light luggage. A luxury SUV adds passenger and cargo room, while a Sprinter is better suited to larger groups or coordinated event travel. Stretch vehicles are most appropriate when the occasion itself is part of the experience.
Vehicle selection should be confirmed against the real luggage load. Seat capacity and suitcase capacity are not the same thing.
