Airbnb: 4 Quebec cities among the 10 most expensive in Canada

Get out your dollars, because Airbnb rentals in Quebec are expensive!

A new study positions four Quebec cities among the 10 most expensive cities in Canada for rentals on the Airbnb platform. Can you guess which ones?

Lévis, the most expensive Quebec city

Lévis, Quebec, and Kelowna, British Columbia, share fourth place in the ranking, with an average cost of $286 per night for an Airbnb rental.

In Lévis, renting a three-bedroom property costs on average $422 per night, compared to $492 for similar properties in Kelowna. However, one and two bedroom properties in Lévis are more expensive, with rates of $180 and $256 respectively.

Quebec, Montreal and Laval in the top 10

Québec is placed in fifth position with an average cost of $274 per night, while Montréal comes in sixth place with a price of $264. Lavalfor its part, comes in eighth place in this ranking of the most expensive cities.

Vancouver tops the rankings

It is the city of Vancouver, unsurprisingly, which ranks as the most expensive in the country for Airbnb rentals, confirming its reputation as a popular but expensive destination.

Lévis, Quebec, Montreal and Laval thus show that the Airbnb rental market in Quebec is far from cheap, ranking among the most expensive in the country.

Methodology: This study conducted by the financial advice site Money.ca used a list of the 50 most populous Canadian cities from Statistics Canada. Airbnb’s income tool then calculated the average income for each city by renting a private room or an entire home (1, 2 or 3 bedrooms). Finally, these average incomes were grouped together to establish a final ranking.
