How to Get from St. John's St. John´s International Airport to St. John's

You can travel from St. John's International Airport to the city by private transfer, taxi, rental car or public transit where it operates. Each option suits a different mix of budget, luggage and schedule.

Taking a taxi from St. John's International Airport

Taxis usually wait at a rank outside the arrivals doors, though availability can vary at quieter times of day. A taxi ride into St. John's is simple, but you may wait longer during peak arrival periods or in poor weather. Ask the driver about the route and fare before you set off if you are unsure.

Driving from YYT with a rental car

Several car rental companies have desks at the airport, so you can collect a vehicle and drive yourself into St. John's. This works well for visitors planning to explore the wider Avalon Peninsula. Remember that winter roads can be icy, and parking in the older parts of the city can be limited.

Public transit and shared options

Local bus services link parts of the region, but routes and timetables change, so check the current information from the local transit operator before you travel. Shared or scheduled shuttles may also be offered, and the airport's information desk can point you to what is running on the day you fly.
