Whistler to Vancouver-Jan 16.

5.00The driver from Whistler to Vancouver informed us of his itinerary, so that we would be informed about stops. That was courteous.

1.00We got up to take the 6:30 am bus back to Vancouver airport. OMG!!! WE couldn't get on. The for got to put our name in party of 4. We had to get a private shuttle. That cost why more. All they did I'd refund us, leaving us stranded in Whistler. Not happy at all. Praying we make our 1:20 pm flight.
Buyer Beware!

1.00Buyer Beware! Extreme caution is advised when dealing with Skylynx. The Skylynx web site home page states: “Welcome to YVR Skylynx…Just $32 One-Way.” But it turns out that price is from downtown Vancouver, not YVR. You have to go to the Prices page to find out that the cost from YVR is $55. But I was charged $120! I bought a Standard one-way trip from YVR Vancouver airport to Whistler at the airport Skylynx kiosk. I paid with my credit card and was in a hurry, so didn’t look at my receipt, just took it and left. I was shocked to find out later that I had been charged $120. When I inquired about the discrepancy, I was told that I had booked with “Whistler Connection” instead of Skylynx, and they charge a higher price. The kiosk sign says Skylynx, so I did not know that I was booking through a different company and would be charged way more than was stated on the web site. I’m not sure how a company can get away with implying a low price on their home page, then show a different, higher price on their Prices page, and then charge a much higher price when you actually buy the ticket at their kiosk. They justify this by saying they use a booking platform called Ridebooker that sells tickets for various transport providers, and the high price is their affiliate’s price. Unfortunately, the customer has no way of knowing ahead of time that they will be charged 265% more for their ticket if they buy at the kiosk. Skylynx gets you to your destination comfortably and on time, and they have the right to charge whatever they want. But if they hope to nurture a loyal customer base, they should clearly and transparently inform people ahead of time what the real price will be.

5.00Reliable that should be enough to say here. The driver was cautious considering the weather, so be aware when connecting to a flight. Driver was difficult to understand but that didn’t matter much.

Great Value and Service

5.00Total lifesaver! I didn't want to drop a fortune on a private shuttle, and Skylynx was the perfect middle ground. Super easy to book online and the check-in at the airport kiosk was chill. The bus felt safe even with the snow coming down hard. If you're looking for a reliable way to get to the mountains without breaking the bank, this is it. Shoutout to our driver, Gary, for the local tips on where to grab the best coffee at the village!
