In BC car seats are not mandatory in taxis (which is still odd to me but whatever) but they will also not provide them. So if you want to travel by taxi and want a car seat or two, you will have to provide your own.I hope OP doesn't mind -- will we need car seats? We have 6 adults and two little ones (4 and 11 months)
We are looking for the easiest and safe way to get everyone from airport to hotel at port. We don’t need a car seat for the four year old any other time so prefer not to bring one for just for that short trip. Taking all our luggage and splitting up into at least three cabs sounds painful.In BC car seats are not mandatory in taxis (which is still odd to me but whatever) but they will also not provide them.

How much did the taxi cost?We took a taxi - it was super easy. All lined up right outside after getting luggage.
Sorry - It was 2019, I honestly don't remember now and with the exchange rate. It would have stuck with me if it had been out of line. It was just me and my teen age daughter, so I felt safer that way too.How much did the taxi cost?

I am a bit nervous about COVID before we leave, plus we will have a lot of luggage to manage. so maybe private transportation is better. Are there companies recommended?I would either look into private van transportation, or, if your hotel is downtown, consider taking the Canada Line (sky train/subway). With six adults and two little ones you may be well able to handle it. It’s cheap, you can use credit card to pay, and goes direct from the airport all the way to very close to the cruise terminal. (Several stops on the way). If you have one in a stroller and one in a carrier, that would work really well.
Do you recall any larger taxis? Maybe we could fit into two?We took a taxi - it was super easy. All lined up right outside after getting luggage.

for the train, is there a lot of luggage storage? Are they crowded?

Thank you all so much!
Do you know what forms of payment are commonly accepted? Just trying to see if we need to get CAD or if we can use credit card.There is a flat rate for taxis leaving the airport. To downtown Vancouver it’s $32 CAD.
