Top tips for finding Montreal train tickets
- If you plan to book a ticket for a train to Montreal, we recommend that you check on the schedules and updates a few days before your departure. Purchasing a train ticket to Montreal and other destinations has become so much easier through KAYAK. You just have to type your departure and destination stations and the date of travel, and we help you find schedules from different train services complete with schedules and prices to your destination.
- Look out for deals for Amtrak to Montreal to save you the hassle of having to buy several tickets to one destination. Instead, be on the lookout for updates on bonuses and travel coupons to secure discounts. Alternatively, you could get multi-ride tickets and rail passes that allow you to travel with ease across several destinations a certain number of times per month. Buying a round-trip ticket may not be the best decision, especially if you are unsure when you will return.
- Visit the train station website to find information on parking lots and parking charges. Take your time to study their parking policies. Montreal Central Station has a couple of Indigo outdoor and indoor parking lots available for long-term and short-term parking all day and night, with an allowable parking duration of more than three days. For the bikers, there are a couple of bike racks at the station near the corners of Rue Est. and Rue Belmont and the corner of Rue Est. and Rue De La Gauchetiere.
- Make your train trip even more convenient by purchasing an OPUS card for around $6 at metropolitan ticket offices or in fare vending machines in the Lucie-L’Allier train station, the Central Station, the Centre-ville, Longueil, Cartier and Montmorency termini. The card is rechargeable and expires after four years but must be renewed every year for students. A Solo Card will be a better option if you are not staying long as it can only cover up to 6 trips and cannot be recharged.
