YYG taxis wait outside the terminal beside the Arrivals door, and taxi-kiosk personnel can help passengers. To confirm a pickup before a flight lands, contact a local cab company directly.

T3 Transit provides daily municipal transit service to Charlottetown, Cornwall, Stratford and Summerside, with stops at the airport. Contact T3 Transit for route schedules and fares. YYG says there are no operating hotel shuttles, so arrange another option if a direct ride to your accommodation is needed.

If someone is collecting you by car, agree on the pickup plan before landing. Bus, shuttle and limousine pickups are outside Arrivals. For a rental or other self-drive journey, use the airport address as your destination and allow time to load luggage at the curb.

YYG’s parking lots operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Short-term parking has a free first hour; long-term parking costs $3.75 per hour or part thereof, $18 per 24-hour period or part thereof, up to $80 per week. Parking charges and arrangements can change, so check the official site before you go.

Choose transport before your flight: take a taxi from the Arrivals pickup, book a rideshare, contact a shuttle operator, or check T3 Transit’s schedule and fare. For a taxi or prearranged ride, confirm the pickup point and payment details with the operator before landing.

Once you reach central Charlottetown, you can continue on foot around downtown. The airport-to-downtown drive typically takes 15 minutes according to YYG. YYG is about a 12-minute drive from the Shipwright Inn.
