Which Vancouver destination should I request?
Specify Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and the exact drop-off address. Vancouver, Washington is a different domestic destination. A city-address transfer also differs from a YVR airport or Canada Place cruise-terminal journey, which needs additional flight or sailing information.
- Vancouver BC address
- Airport or cruise endpoint if applicable
- Return date and destination
Prepare for the Canada-bound city journey
Request the complete international trip rather than a ride only to the border. Include both entrances, passenger contact, luggage, stops and return plans. Passengers are responsible for checking Canadian entry requirements. Border and traffic conditions can affect arrival, and each return leg needs its own confirmation.
Which vehicle fits my passengers and bags?
The published fleet guide lists sedan, SUV and Sprinter classes. These are passenger limits, not a promise that every seat and every bag fit together or that a vehicle is available on your date.
- Sedan: 1–3 passengers. Send checked-bag and carry-on counts.
- SUV: 1–6 passengers. Ask for the luggage configuration with all occupied seats.
- Sprinter class: Up to 14 passengers. Confirm availability, luggage space and the assigned configuration before booking.
- Describe child-seat needs, child ages and mobility equipment. Request confirmation of equipment, accessible boarding and any charge; luggage assistance alone does not mean wheelchair-accessible transport.
How much will my private ride cost?
This page offers a trip quote, not an instant price. Send the actual addresses, date, party size, bags and stops. The written offer must show the vehicle fare and currency so you can compare the complete journey.
- Check taxes, airport or parking charges, tolls, fuel surcharges and whether gratuity is included or optional. Do not assume an item is included because it is not shown on this page.
- Confirm charges for extra stops, child seats, special equipment and waiting. Ask for a separate return-leg price.
- A point-to-point fare covers the agreed journey. An hourly request needs an agreed duration, minimum booking period and overtime rate; no universal hourly minimum is advertised here.
How far ahead should I book, and can I travel today?
Request the ride as soon as the itinerary is known. Same-day requests depend on confirmed availability; sending the form does not reserve a vehicle.
- Provide a reachable traveler contact and, when different, the booking coordinator.
- Review the written itinerary, price and payment instructions before confirming. The published terms require the balance before the journey unless a written booking agreement states otherwise.
- For a return, give its own date, addresses and flight or appointment details. A one-way confirmation does not reserve the return.
What happens if I cancel or change the trip?
The published terms state that deposits are non-refundable, except where applicable law requires a refund. For cancellation within 24 hours or a no-show, amounts paid are non-refundable under those terms, subject to applicable law.
- For an earlier cancellation, check the written confirmation for the treatment of amounts beyond the deposit.
- Report changes through the contact supplied with your booking. A new time, address, stop or vehicle requirement can change availability and price.
- The overtime grace period applies after a prearranged service end time. It is not an extra airport pickup allowance. Review the separate waiting rules.
Who will handle my reservation?
This is Metro Elite Transfer’s private-transportation page. Confirm the booking business, service provider and trip contact in your written offer. Similar service names do not mean that another business or a scheduled shuttle operator is part of this reservation.
- If a particular vehicle model, color or amenity matters, request written confirmation and current vehicle information. A category image is not an assigned-vehicle promise.
- When comparing providers, check the actual carrier’s operating credentials, insurance and applicable airport permissions. A page title is not proof of a permit.
- Use genuine reviews in their original trip context. No independent best-provider award or route-specific customer review is claimed here.
Does town car or limousine mean a stretch limo?
No. A vehicle description must identify the actual offered configuration. A sedan, SUV, passenger van and stretch limousine are different products; the words town car or limo do not establish a specific model or stretch vehicle.
- For a sedan, check luggage fit as well as seats. Ask for a larger configuration when the complete load will not fit.
- For a celebration, multiple appointments or retained-vehicle service, state the full itinerary and waiting duration. An airport transfer is not automatically an hourly charter.
- Confirm requested amenities and equipment in writing rather than assuming they come with the category.
What changes for a Vancouver, BC–Seattle journey?
This journey crosses the Canada–United States border between city addresses. Vancouver, BC is not Vancouver, Washington; YVR and SEA are separate airport endpoints. Include flight information only when an airport is actually part of the itinerary.
- State the direction, exact addresses, requested stops and arrival deadline. Review the complete fare, currency, waiting conditions and return leg.
- Passengers must verify their own entry eligibility and required documents with the relevant government. A ride reservation does not approve documents or guarantee admission.
- Do not assume NEXUS eligibility, a particular crossing or a shorter inspection. Check current border and road conditions; a base driving estimate does not include every delay.
- If comparing coach, rail or flights, check every operating segment and local connection for the travel date. Add all party fares and baggage conditions before comparing with the private quote.

What vehicle and luggage details should I provide?
Count passengers, checked bags and carry-ons separately. Describe oversized equipment, mobility aids and child-seat requests before accepting a vehicle. Review the fleet information and confirm the actual configuration for your trip. A town car, sedan, limo or black car search does not guarantee a specific model, stretch vehicle or equipment.
For airport travel, give the relevant flight and date. For a hotel or office pickup, give the entrance and passenger-ready time. Keep the passenger contact separate from a coordinator booking on someone else's behalf. Add the return date and addresses if you need another leg.
What does the private-transfer quote cover?
The quote should identify the agreed endpoints, vehicle requirements and requested stops. Confirm currency, per-vehicle or per-person basis, mandatory charges, waiting arrangements, equipment charges and cancellation or change terms before booking. Return travel requires its own timing, availability and fare confirmation.
This form requests a quote; it does not display an instant fare or confirm a reservation. Scheduled landing time is not passenger-ready time. Share an appointment, flight or sailing deadline so the full itinerary can be considered, without a guaranteed connection.
Is this a shared shuttle or a private ride?
Metro Elite's offer is a prearranged private vehicle for the confirmed party, not individual seats on a scheduled bus. Compare the full itinerary: actual stops, final address, luggage, all travelers' costs and any additional local connections. A shared-service listing does not establish private-vehicle availability.
Use the Port of Seattle ground transportation directory for airport options and Sound Transit's SEA airport information for rail planning. Check the operator's current schedule and conditions rather than relying on a copied fare or timetable.
Where should I check current trip instructions?
Follow your booking's confirmed meeting instructions and the airport's prearranged transportation guidance. A reservation does not grant access to restricted areas or authorize pickup at any chosen door. For other Seattle private-car information, see SEA.limo and confirm the terms of the provider you select.
Check Canadian border travel information or U.S. entry information for your direction. Passengers are responsible for entry eligibility and documents; a ground booking is not an immigration approval.
