suggestions on getting from downtown Quebec to YQB airport?

I will be staying at a downtown hotel near the VIA Rail station.

The next morning, I'm catching a flight from YQB to PHL around noon.

What are my best options for getting from downtown hotel to YQB airport?
The only option that I found was taxi for about $32(?). Is there a specific
area to catch these taxis in the downtown area? If tipping is required
on that rate, what is reason tip for the driver?

Thanks!

Tipping is generally 15% of the fare, usually rounded up to nearest dollar. As for the bus option, it runs only weekdays and only twice around 7 am to the airport - really not worth considering (check the link in the post prior to this one).

There are other bus options (80 or 80/79) requiring respectively a 20 or 25 min walk from the bus stop to the airport for a total of ~65 minutes, if you travel light.

It is possible to easily find taxis in the area. The flat fare is $34.25, and a 10% tip is sufficient.
