So, depending on their comfort level, driving might not be that bad an option.Īs other posters have suggested, rebooking to fly to YQB rather than YUL would be much easier (if they have no need for a rental car once arrived).

I wouldn’t drive more in Old Quebec than necessary, but you can choose hotels with easy parking. Winter tires are mandatory in Quebec, so if they rent a car, they would not be driving in snow and ice on summer (“all season”) tires. If you do want to check the schedules: Orleans Express for bus, VIA Rail for train.ĭriving in winter conditions is definitely a possibility in February.

The Quebec City bus station adjoins the train station, and both are in / immediately adjacent to Old Quebec. The Montreal transit authority has a good express bus from the airport to downtown, but whether bus or taxi, it might be the kind of extra load/unload they don’t want, plus there would be the uncertainty of whether a late flight might cause the to miss the train or bus they booked. Your wife and daughter would have to take a bus or taxi from the airport to downtown. The intercity trains and buses don’t leave directly from Montreal airport.

Although I am in general a fan of collective transport, I might not recommend bus/train in this case.
