Fly into the nearest airports

The most convenient airport for accessing Club Med Québec Charlevoix from the U.S. is Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB), located about 90 minutes (approximately 68 miles) from the resort. Major airlines offering service from the U.S. to YQB include American, United (Express), and Air Canada, typically with connections through Toronto or Montreal.

Another option is Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL), which offers more flight availability from U.S. cities via carriers like Air Canada, American, Delta, and United. However, the drive from Montreal to the resort is significantly longer, ranging from approximately 3.5 to 4.5 hours (about 168 miles).

Transfer options from the airport

Club Med–arranged shuttle (recommended)
When booking your flight through Club Med, you can include a round-trip shared shuttle service (bus or van). From Quebec City Airport (YQB), the shuttle ride to the resort takes about 1.5 hours, while from Montreal-Trudeau Airport (YUL) it takes approximately 4 to 4.5 hours. The shuttle offers round-trip service with pickups and drop-offs both ways, making it a convenient and reliable choice for most travelers.

Please note that the airport shuttle is an additional paid service unless you book your flights with Club Med.

Car rental / self-drive
Renting a car from either YQB or YUL is a popular and flexible alternative. The drive from Quebec City is scenic and takes about 1 hour (68 miles), while the drive from Montreal takes around 4 hours (168 miles), offering opportunities to explore the region. If traveling between November and March, be sure to rent a vehicle equipped with winter tires, as they are required by law in Quebec during the winter months.

Taxi or rideshare
Taxis and rideshare services like Uber are available from both Quebec City and Montreal airports. From Quebec City (YQB) to Club Med Québec Charlevoix, a one-way Uber or taxi ride typically takes about 1.5 hours and can cost around CAD $135. While this can be a convenient option for small groups, it’s important to note that return availability from the resort may be limited due to its remote location. For reliability and peace of mind, many travelers still prefer the Club Med shuttle or a rental car.
