Ottawa → Gatineau: key facts

Gatineau from Ottawa Airport (YOW) by private transfer: €50 per car (1–3 people) or €70 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 17 km via 79, roughly 25 min when traffic is light and 25–35 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits for you on Level 1, the Arrivals level of the terminal, holding a sign with your name, after you have collected your bags (international and US arrivals: after the Customs Hall exit). Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Gatineau is the Quebec city facing Ottawa across the Ottawa River, and its Hull sector, with the Canadian Museum of History, is only a few minutes from Parliament Hill. From the airport the drive heads north into central Ottawa and crosses one of the interprovincial bridges, such as the Portage Bridge to Hull or the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge further east. Crossing the river also means entering Quebec, so road signs are in French. Bridge approaches are congested at weekday peak hours.

Gatineau is spread out along the north shore. Hull, the oldest part, has the Canadian Museum of History on Rue Laurier, the federal office towers of Place du Portage and the bars of the Promenade du Portage. To the west lies Aylmer, by the Deschenes rapids and Lac Deschenes; to the east are the Gatineau and Buckingham sectors along the Gatineau and Lievre rivers. Gatineau Park begins just north of Hull, and the Rapibus busway crosses the city east to west.

Public transport instead: OC Transpo light rail O-Train Line 4 from Airport station (linked to Level 3, north end of the terminal) to South Keys station (connection to O-Train Line 2), from 6:00 am to midnight. Societe de transport de l'Outaouais (STO) bus STO routes serving downtown Ottawa from Downtown Ottawa (connection with O-Train Line 1) to Gatineau (Hull, Gatineau, Aylmer sectors). No direct public transport from the airport to Gatineau: OC Transpo O-Train Line 4 and onward lines reach downtown Ottawa, where STO buses of the Gatineau network cross the river to the Quebec side.
