Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 21, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are readily available outside the Air Terminal Building's arrivals area. Several local companies provide service to downtown Whitehorse, a trip that typically takes 10-15 minutes. It is advisable to book in advance during peak tourist seasons to ensure availability.

Rental Cars

Car rental agencies, including Budget and Driving Force, have counters located directly within the Air Terminal Building. Renting a vehicle is a very popular option for exploring the region. Due to high demand, especially in the summer, it is strongly recommended to reserve a car well in advance of your arrival.

Public Transportation

There is no direct public transit bus service connecting to the Whitehorse airport terminal. The nearest city bus stop is a significant walk from the airport, making it an impractical option for travelers with luggage. Visitors requiring transport should rely on taxis, rental cars, or pre-arranged hotel shuttles.
