Ottawa · Highway 417 · Montréal
Two hours on the 417 and the 40 in a cabin made for the distance: Wi-Fi, a seat that reclines, and a chauffeur who knows where the traffic forms before you reach it. One fare, fixed before you leave.
The Route
From Ottawa the Journey is Highway 417 east to the Québec border, then Autoroute 40 onto the island of Montréal: about 200 kilometres and around two hours when the roads are clear. Your chauffeur plans around the day: the morning rush leaving Ottawa, the afternoon slowdown at the Décarie and Turcot interchanges, a snow squall near Rigaud in January. You are given a pickup time that gets you there when you need to be there, and the fare does not change if the road is slow.
Downtown and Old Montréal, the hotels on René-Lévesque and Sherbrooke, Westmount, Outremont and the Plateau, Laval and the South Shore, Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) in Dorval, or the Port for a cruise departure. The far end can be any address; the fare is quoted for the one you give us.
The same Journey in reverse, including pickups at YUL with your flight tracked and 60 minutes of complimentary wait time after landing. Use the switch under the booking bar.
Choose Round trip and give us the return time; the two legs are linked and confirmed together. If you would rather the chauffeur stay with you in Montréal between appointments, book by the hour instead: the hours are yours wherever they are spent.
What Is Different
No station at either end, no connections, no one else's schedule. The same chauffeur and the same car from your door to theirs.
Wi-Fi and chargers in both vehicles; in the Lexus, a rear seat that reclines. Take the call, finish the deck or sleep to the border.
Fixed on the booking page before you confirm. No meter, nothing added for traffic or weather on the day.
The luggage goes in once and comes out at your destination. Nothing to carry through a station.
A coffee at Casselman, a detour to a second address, a stop in Hudson: tell us when you book or ask your chauffeur.
Your chauffeur watches the forecast and the 417 and leaves earlier when the road is slow, so the arrival time holds.
Every chauffeur is licensed and insured, in a Crown & Coach vehicle. Not a taxi, not a rideshare, not a coach.
Across Montréal
Any address on the island or around it. A few we drive to:
From the Blog
A team or a family travelling together rides in the Lincoln Navigator L, six in captain's chairs with the luggage behind. More notes on travelling in and to Ottawa on the blog.
Ottawa to Montréal
About two hours door to door in normal conditions, for roughly 200 kilometres on Highway 417 and Autoroute 40. Rush hour at either end and winter weather add time, and your chauffeur plans the pickup around the conditions of the day.
Yes. Once we have the two addresses, the date, the time and the party size, the booking page shows a fixed fare, and that is what you pay. Traffic or weather on the day does not change it.
Yes. Switch the direction under the booking bar, enter the airport as the pickup and add your flight number: we track the flight, and the first 60 minutes of wait time after landing are complimentary.
Yes, with the Round trip pill above. Both legs are booked together as two linked Journeys, with one confirmation. For a day in Montréal where you want the car to stay with you between appointments, book by the hour instead.
The Lexus LS460L, a long-wheelbase executive sedan for up to three Guests, or the 2022 Lincoln Navigator L, a full-size SUV seating six in captain's chairs with room for luggage. Tell us the party size and we assign the right one.
Yes. Tell us when you book and the stop is built into the plan, or ask your chauffeur for a brief stop on the way.
24 hours' notice guarantees a vehicle; same-day bookings are confirmed when a chauffeur is available. For an early-morning departure, booking the day before is wise. Reservations are taken around the clock.
