When planning a visit to Whistler you may wonder, do I really need a rental car after landing in Vancouver? Other than running up your hotel bill with daily parking fees and leaving you to question whether or not you have international car insurance, what good does it do you?
Fortunately during this trip we discovered “YVR Skylynx.” Their buses provide service to connect Vancouver International and Whistler Village or Downtown Vancouver and Whistler Village.
The buses are air conditioned, offer free Wi-Fi, each seat provides outlets to power your devices, and there is a restroom onboard. We found the seats comfortable and they offer the ability to recline.
There are multiple daily routes that offer gorgeous views along the Sea to Sky Highway (and have a minimum of stops). Most passengers will find the ride to be a smooth one, but those who suffer from motion sickness should be able to endure the limited twisty sections with a little help from a motion sickness supplement.
Your first two luggage items are complimentary and you can transport your bike, skis, snowboard, golf clubs, and/or additional luggage for an additional fee (and overhead storage is available for your carry-on items).
If you’re looking for an inexpensive and convenient option to transport you between Vancouver and Whistler, we found this to be an excellent choice.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
