Getting from the Vancouver Airport (YVR) to Whistler
With the snow piling up and the 2010 Olympics approaching planning your transportation to and from Whistler is vital. It is a bit self-serving for a principle of Whistler Resort Cabs to suggest taxi transport as the best transportation option but does Matt Hasselback cheer for the Oakland Raiders?
My reasoning follows:
1) Limousine: Most limos to Whistler are SUV’s that can navigate the Whistler’s high mountain road with relative ease. They are generally $150-$200 more than a taxi. The taxis that run up and down the highway are often very similar to the limos on the road so pay less and get almost as much by going with a Whistler Resort taxi.
2) Bus: Most buses are also well equipped for the Sea to Sky Highway. Unless you have less than 3 people in your party taxis are far less expensive and obviously they do not work around your schedule. Take a taxi, pay less and call the shots yourself.
3) Helicopter/Plane: Lots of money and if you decide to do it, take me with you and I’ll take you for a beer when we get to Whistler.
So I hope I have convinced you to ride a Resort Cab as you come to Whistler. If so call us at 604.938.1515.
