Transfer from Québec Airport to D’Orléans Island

From Québec Airport, your driver takes Route 138 merging onto Autoroute 40 eastbound, passing through Beauport before exiting at Route 368. The route crosses the Pont de l'Île, the free suspension bridge offering views over the Saint Lawrence River, then follows the historic Chemin Royal around the island's perimeter. You'll pass through six picturesque villages—Saint-Pierre, Sainte-Famille, Saint-François, Saint-Jean, and Saint-Laurent—lined with farms, apple orchards, and heritage sites including the 1717 Saint-Pierre Church.

Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of your landing terminal, holding a name sign. The journey typically takes 46 minutes, though traffic on Autoroute 40 eastbound between 7–9 a.m. and 4–6 p.m. can add 10–15 minutes. Winter weather occasionally affects crossing times. The Pont de l'Île has no toll, and there are no congestion zones or vehicle restrictions. Island drop-offs are flexible—your driver can take you to a specific village, accommodation, winery, or restaurant.

Private transfer beats taxis and public transit on this route. Official airport taxis charge around CAD $35 metered, but lack real-time flight tracking and don't navigate island interiors reliably. RTC bus Line 800 costs CAD $3 but runs only to downtown Québec (19 min), leaving you stranded; getting to the island requires a second transfer. Tourist shuttles operate seasonally and lack flexibility. A pre-booked private transfer includes all tolls and charges, adjusts to your flight delays automatically, and delivers you door-to-door on D'Orléans Island.
