Rental Cars

No commercial car rental agencies operate in Grise Fiord. The road system is minimal. Visitors may be able to make private arrangements to rent an ATV (in summer) or a truck through the Taqqut Co-operative or a local outfitter, but this is not a standard service and must be arranged well in advance.

There is no public transit system, such as buses or trains, in Grise Fiord. The community's small size makes it easily navigable on foot. Snowmobiles and ATVs are the common modes of personal transportation for residents.

Not the base for Borek but anyway Posted by Mick11 on May 5, 2013

Borek is based in Calgary. The have an ops in iqualiut and resolute. Forget landing here in anything but a gentle breeze. Tight approach rwy 35 i think. RWY17 is for CAVOK and calm, daylight only. Takeoff is 17 only. The strip has some soft spots, a small wheeled plane could definitely end up in trouble here. I can't remember how long the strip is but less than 2000'. Seldom staffed. Drunk weather guy, drunk maintenance. Or if you are lucky they are all together absent. The most unreliable operation I have seen (possibly tied with Coral Harbor NWT or Iglooklik.) That is a place that I would be happy and relieved to here a VGM from! Pathetic operation it is.
