YVR · Arrival pickup
For Vancouver International (YVR), we could not confirm an official published pickup point for outside pre-booked chauffeured cars that we can quote. The 24/7 Chauffyr desk texts you the permitted meeting point, the chauffeur's name and the vehicle plate once your flight is tracked as inbound.
Note · We never publish an assumption as if it were an authority citation; the meeting point always comes from the desk by text.
At YVR, a vetted local partner chauffeur drives your trip; Chauffyr's 24/7 desk books it, confirms it in writing and tracks the flight.

How chauffeur pickup at YVR works
Vancouver International occupies Sea Island in Richmond, south of the city; Transport Canada owns it and leases it to the Vancouver International Airport Authority. Nothing we can cite from YVR governs outside chauffeured cars, so no curb is claimed here. Expect a text with the pickup spot, your driver's name and the plate shortly after touchdown.
We could not verify a published airport-authority rule at YVR that covers outside chauffeured cars, so we name no curb or door. Your car is held at the permitted meeting point for pre-booked cars, and a text gives the bay and plate as soon as you leave customs or the baggage carousels.
Dispatch reads each arrival from the live flight, whether domestic, US or international, and the included wait counts from the actual landing, so a customs queue is allowed for.
With meet & greet, a name board is waiting as you come out with your bags, and the driver takes the trolley to the car. Cruise passengers heading for a ship and ski families with gear ask for it most.
Each arrival includes a grace period of 60 minutes after landing, and any time past it charged hourly in 15-minute increments. Fog and winter delays are tracked live.
Most trips cross into Vancouver for Downtown, Coal Harbour, Yaletown and the Canada Place cruise terminal, or stay in Richmond for airport hotels. Skiers often book a private car service up the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler.
Week-long cruise cases, skis and snowboards fill a trunk fast. List every bag when booking: an SUV fits a family's kit, while a Sprinter carries a whole ski club or wedding group.
Flying privately into YVR? Give us the handler or FBO you are using. Pass on the aircraft tail and the FBO, and the executive airport transfer is set for block-in.
Ship days put many guests on the road to Canada Place at once, so give the sailing date and ship name when you book. Dispatch plans from your tracked landing, an early, late or diverted flight moves the pickup with it, and the included wait starts at touchdown.
Give the hotel or chalet address in Whistler Village or the Upper Village, and list ski bags so a vehicle with room for gear is sent.
It depends on Sea-to-Sky traffic and weather; your quote confirms timing.
The booking page prices every car class up front and breaks out the gratuity.

YVR · Answered by our concierge
Vancouver International (YVR) publishes no pickup point for outside pre-booked chauffeured cars that we can quote, so we do not invent one. The 24/7 Chauffyr desk texts you the permitted meeting point for pre-booked cars, the chauffeur's name and the plate once your flight is inbound. Every arrival is flight-tracked, so a delay simply moves the pickup time.
Pickup at the airport's permitted meeting point is included in every fare. Optional in-terminal Meet & Greet — your chauffeur waits inside at baggage claim with a name board — is $35 for sedans and SUVs and $150 for Executive and Jet Sprinters. Every arrival includes live flight tracking and 60 minutes of complimentary wait.
Prices are approximate base fares calculated by distance (miles) and vehicle class, including tolls, parking, airport fees, fuel and the complimentary wait window; a 20% gratuity is added when you book.
