We have set the price point low enough that families can make the trip up without blowing their Olympic budget. At just $35.00 a ticket the Whistler Shuttle is well below what is charged by many other providers from Vancouver to Whistler during the regular ski season.  Don’t let transportation be the reason that your guests don’t experience high mountain snow during the Olympics or the winter of 2010. Have a look at the Whistler Shuttle, ask as many questions as you want at info@ridebooker.com and then start booking your guests their transportation to Whistler, BC.

Unlike any of the other options available the Whistler Shuttle vehicles are stationed in and operated by people who live in Whistler, BC. We understand the highway and the needs of your guests as they get to their accommodations in our town. We understand key pickup at front desks at which the guest is not staying. We know the difference between Glaciers Reach and Glacier Ridge. We know what it takes to get up the road to Taluswood during a snow storm. If all those benefits aren’t enough; we are in town and available when things go wrong.

We are ready for the winter. We are ready for the Olympics. We are ready to serve you and your guests!

Banff, Canmore and Kananaskis are all small places with great transit systems.  Why not sit back, relax and enjoy the view or maybe have a nap.  Let our expert Banff drivers deal with the challenging road and weather conditions while you enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the world.

  • The trip is probably a lot longer than you think it is (but it’s worth it).  The typical round trip time between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Whistler is 2.5 hours.  However, it can be longer if there is weather, traffic, accidents, or construction to contend with!
  • The weather on the Sea to Sky highway is highly variable and requires a winterized vehicle.  You will undoubtedly encounter poor road conditions on the highway or while driving in Whistler.  Unfortunately, most rental vehicles in Vancouver aren’t up to the standard.

So how do most visitors get to Whistler?

  1. Bus/shuttle to Whistler – this is the most affordable means of getting to Whistler since you are sharing the cost with a group of people.  The downside of the bus or shuttle is having to wait around for all those people who are keeping your cost relatively low!
  2. Limousine to Whistler – If you were to stand on the side of highway 99 you would likely be very surprised at just how many limousines drive by.  The limousine is a very popular way for private groups of 6 or less people to get to Whistler.
  3. Luxury SUV to Whistler – There is a large fleet of luxury sport utility vehicles carrying visitors back and forth between Vancouver International airport (YVR) and Whistler.  While not as glitzy as limousines, they do offer a great view of the scenery and people seem to like the added safety of four wheel drive.
  4. Passenger Van to Whistler – They aren’t fancy, but 12 passenger vans are a great way for larger groups to get to Whistler quickly and economically.
  5. Rental Car – Far more people rent cars in the summer.  However, some people do still choose to rent cars in the winter.  This is NOT recommended as it puts you at significant risk of accidents and could result in a ticket and possibly even being turned around and sent back to Vancouver.  Not a great way to start your Whistler vacation!
