Ottawa → Wakefield: key facts

Private transfer, Ottawa Airport (YOW) to Wakefield: the car (1–3 passengers) is €85 and the van (4–8) is €120, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 47 km on the road via 5 and 79; about 50 min off-peak, 50–60 min in rush hour.

Pickup: 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). The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Wakefield is a village on the Gatineau River in the municipality of La Peche, in the hills north of Gatineau. The drive from the airport crosses Ottawa and the river into Hull, then follows Autoroute 5 north past Chelsea; where the motorway ends, Route 105 continues along the river valley into the village. The road runs through forest and farmland on the eastern edge of Gatineau Park, and in winter conditions in the hills can differ from those in the city.

The village centre is small and walkable, with Chemin Riverside running along the Gatineau River past cafes, galleries and the old mill, now an inn by the waterfall of the Wakefield creek. The red Gendron covered bridge crosses the river at the north end of the village and is open to pedestrians. The surrounding hills have cottages and small lakes, and summer weekends bring paddlers and cyclists to the river.

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. No direct public transport from the airport to Wakefield; the village lies in the Gatineau Hills north of the urban area and is reached by road along Autoroute 5 and Route 105.
