Is This a Shared Shuttle or a Private Transfer?
Metro Elite’s Vancouver–Seattle service is a prearranged private vehicle for your booking. You are requesting transportation for your party and itinerary, not purchasing seats on a published shared-bus departure. A search for a taxi or private shuttle can lead here, but the product is the reserved private transfer described on this page.
| Question | Private-transfer request | Shared-service research |
|---|---|---|
| What is reserved? | A vehicle for the confirmed party. | Check the individual ticket and service conditions. |
| Where does it start and finish? | Agreed pickup and destination. | Check stops and any local connections. |
| What determines timing? | Confirmed itinerary and operating conditions. | Available departure and arrival schedule. |
| How do I compare cost? | Complete quoted vehicle fare. | Tickets for everyone plus separate connections. |
Quick Shuttle and Amtrak Cascades provide official resources for scheduled coach and rail research. Our travel-options guide helps compare those journeys without treating them as Metro Elite services.
Your Pickup and Destination
Airport arrival and passenger readiness
Provide your arriving YVR flight and baggage details. The confirmed meeting instructions apply to your booking; do not assume a city pickup or a walk-up taxi location. Leave time for applicable airport arrival procedures before the requested vehicle pickup.
Planning the departing flight
Your second airport is SEA. Supply the departing operating airline, flight date and desired airport arrival. You remain responsible for your baggage between airports: this is not through-checked airline luggage or an airline-protected connection. Use “Not connecting two flights” when the terminal-to-terminal trip has another purpose.
Include intermediate stops in travel order, with the time you expect to spend at each. Extra pickups, building access and luggage loading can change the trip plan. A return request can use different addresses; spell those out rather than assuming the outbound itinerary will be repeated.

Tell us when you need to arrive, not only when you would like to leave. The review considers both addresses, loading, planned stops and the international road journey. Published border queues are only one part of that trip; they are not a door-to-door duration.
Border inspection, traffic and weather can change arrival timing. A vehicle reservation does not guarantee entry, or an airline, cruise or appointment connection. Passengers are responsible for valid documents. Check U.S. entry information or Canadian traveler information for your direction.

Not reportedWhat Does Your Vancouver–Seattle Quote Include?
Review the complete itinerary and quoted currency before confirming. The written quote should identify the vehicle, addresses, requested stops, included charges and conditions that apply when plans change. Use the form to request the price for your actual trip. This is a quote request, not a published fixed fare.
| Currency and fare basis | Confirm the currency and total private-vehicle fare, not a shared-seat price. |
|---|---|
| Taxes, tolls and mandatory charges | Check the included items and separately payable charges in the quote. |
| Stops and equipment | Include stop addresses, duration, child seats and equipment requests before confirmation. |
| Waiting and changes | The written confirmation and published terms govern waiting, overtime and route changes. Airport waiting and customs-delay terms are separate; do not assume unlimited waiting. |
| Cancellation and deposits | Published terms state that deposits are non-refundable, except where law requires otherwise. Cancellations less than 24 hours before pickup and no-shows are non-refundable. Earlier cancellations follow the written confirmation and applicable law. |
| Return journey | Request and confirm its own pickup, date, price and conditions. |
Read the full booking, waiting and cancellation terms before confirmation. Tell the booking contact and traveler how to report a changed flight, delayed baggage or revised meeting plan using the contact in the reservation.

Questions About This Private Transfer
Is the vehicle shared with other bookings?
This page describes a private vehicle reserved for your confirmed party, not a shared-bus ticket. Vehicle availability and the complete itinerary must be confirmed before booking.
Can I be picked up at YVR?
Use the airport meeting instructions supplied with the booking. Keep your passenger contact available and tell us if flight or baggage delays affect readiness.
How much does the transfer cost?
Send the trip form for a complete quote. This page does not display an instant price. The amount depends on the actual itinerary, vehicle requirements and confirmed terms; review currency and all included charges before booking.
Can I request a return journey?
Include the return date, local pickup time and both addresses when arranging a round trip. Each leg’s availability, timing and price are confirmed separately.
Can I bring large bags or request child seats?
Include checked bags, carry-ons, dimensions of oversized items and any child-seat or mobility-equipment requests before booking. Suitability and equipment are confirmed, not included automatically.
Does the transfer guarantee my connection?
No. Traffic, weather, airport processing and border inspection can affect the itinerary. Review both schedules and alternative arrangements before relying on a tight flight or cruise connection.
