The 747 Express bus departs from the arrivals level every 20–30 minutes around the clock (CAD $11). It stops at several downtown métro stations, making it convenient for most city-centre destinations. Taxis from the arrivals level charge a flat rate of CAD $45 to downtown; Uber and Lyft are available from a separate ride-share zone.Rental car facilities are located on-site in the terminal complex. During winter, confirm road conditions before driving; Highway 20 can be slow or briefly closed during heavy snowstorms.

Montréal Climate

Continental climate with dramatic seasonal swings. Summers (June–August) are warm and humid at 24–30°C with occasional thunderstorms. Winters (December–March) are severe, with temperatures regularly dropping to −15°C or colder and heavy snowfall that causes frequent de-icing delays and occasional ground stops.

Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are transitional and relatively pleasant, though spring snowstorms are not unusual. Pack serious winter gear from November through March; ice storms in early spring create particularly difficult travel conditions.
