Vancouver Limo Rates & Pricing
Clear information for planning your limousine or private chauffeured transportation.
The price of a Royal Limo reservation depends on the vehicle, route, duration, passenger requirements and itinerary. Send us the details of your trip and we will provide a personalized quote before you book.
What determines the cost of a limousine in Vancouver?
Limousine pricing is not based on one universal fare. Different vehicle categories and different trips can fall under different rate requirements.
Royal Limousine Service provides private transportation for airport transfers, weddings, corporate travel, celebrations, events and regional journeys.
When requesting a quote, provide the date, pickup location, destination, passenger count, luggage requirements, preferred vehicle and any additional stops or itinerary details.
This allows the reservation to be priced for the actual transportation being requested rather than relying on a generic advertised number.
Four things that shape the final price.
The vehicle is only one part of the reservation. Route, time and itinerary also matter.
Vehicle Category
A luxury SUV, stretch SUV limousine and limo bus fall into different passenger-capacity and rate categories.
Route
Local hourly transportation, airport transfers and specified Sea-to-Sky trips may be priced differently.
Reservation Time
The duration of the transportation, scheduled pickup and itinerary can influence the quote.
Trip Requirements
Passenger count, luggage, additional stops and other booking details help determine the appropriate vehicle and price.

Know what applies before the trip.
Your quote should reflect the transportation being arranged and any applicable charges disclosed as part of the booking.
GST
Passenger Transportation Board limousine rate tables do not include GST. Applicable tax can therefore be additional to the listed regulatory rates.
Public & Service Charges
Depending on the reservation, permitted public fees or service charges may apply when they are disclosed as part of the transportation agreement.
Gratuities
Tips are voluntary. British Columbia limousine rate rules do not permit operators to require the payment of a tip or gratuity.
Fuel Surcharges
A fuel surcharge may only be charged when a Passenger Transportation Board-approved fuel surcharge is in effect.
Waiting & Standby
Waiting, standby or itinerary-related charges can depend on the reservation and applicable transportation rules. Confirm these details before booking.
Additional Stops
Extra stops or route changes can affect trip duration and pricing. Include planned stops when requesting your quote.
Choose the right vehicle for your group.
Vehicle selection depends on passenger count, luggage and the type of trip you are planning.

Stretch SUV limousine transportation for private groups and special occasions.
Cadillac Escalade
Private SUV transportation for airport, business and regional travel.
Krystal SUV Limousine
A larger stretch SUV option for groups travelling together.
