Toronto airport transfers and limousine service start with a simple question: which airport, and where are you going? Toronto Pearson is 28 km (17 mi) west of downtown and handles most international arrivals. Billy Bishop sits 2 km from the core on the waterfront. Onroutz.ca, a Toronto-based private-transfer desk, plans both, plus the rest of the Greater Toronto Area, and this page links every local guide so you can get to the one you need.
How does Onroutz.ca work in Toronto and the GTA?
Toronto, the GTA and southern Ontario are driven by the Onroutz.ca fleet and chauffeurs, dispatched from Toronto. You book online, see a fixed all-in fare for your exact route before you pay, and receive one confirmation. Flight tracking is included on airport pickups, and a 24/7 desk stays in touch.
Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting after international landings, 30 after domestic landings and 15 on other pickups, and train and ship arrivals are tracked too. A name-board meet and greet inside arrivals can be added. Vehicles and chauffeurs are licensed and commercially insured, child, toddler and booster seats are available on request, and water and phone charging are provided in most vehicles. Corporate accounts with monthly invoicing and multi-leg itineraries on one booking are also available.
Toronto's airports and how each one works
Toronto Pearson (YYZ)
Pearson has two terminals, a free link train and a pre-arranged pickup system that is separate from the walk-up taxi queue. Our Toronto Pearson airport page covers the doors, the waiting rules and every way into the city. The Pearson to downtown route and the Pearson to Union Station route compare the train, bus, taxi and private car, and private jets have their own page: Pearson FBO ground transport.
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)
The island airport is reached by a free Union Station shuttle, a pedestrian tunnel and a ferry. The Billy Bishop page explains each, and why no direct shuttle runs to Pearson.
Hamilton and Buffalo
Southern Ontario also uses Hamilton's airport and, for cross-border travellers, Buffalo Niagara. See Hamilton Airport to Toronto, Toronto to Buffalo Airport and Buffalo Airport to Niagara Falls.
Which way into town? A quick comparison
| Journey | Door-to-door time | Cost note | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pearson to downtown by UP Express | About 28 min on the train, plus the last stretch | $12.35 adult one-way, $9.25 with PRESTO (as of 2026) | Carry it yourself | One or two light travellers near Union Station |
| Pearson to downtown by taxi or airport limousine | 30 to 60 min | Flat rate to Toronto, no surge; limousines about 10% above taxis | One vehicle boot | Arrivals without a booking |
| Billy Bishop to Union Station by free shuttle | About 15 min on the bus | Free (as of 2026) | You carry bags | Solo travellers with carry-ons |
| Onroutz.ca pre-booked car from either airport | Pearson 30 to 60 min; Billy Bishop 5 to 15 min | Fixed fare via booker | Sedan, SUV or Sprinter | Families, groups, heavy bags, late arrivals, business schedules |
Third-party figures come from the UP Express fare page and the airport's taxi and limousine page. The honest rule is that the train is excellent for a single light traveller near Union Station, and a private car wins with three or more people, heavy luggage, children, late flights or a schedule to keep.
Airport limousine pages for every GTA suburb
If you live or stay outside the core, the airport run starts in your suburb. The airport limousine hub lists them all, with pickup areas and drive notes:
- Mississauga, where Pearson itself sits
- Brampton, Milton and Oakville
- Burlington and Hamilton
- Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham and Newmarket and Aurora
- Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke
- Durham Region: Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering
Niagara Falls and the routes beyond Toronto
The most-travelled day trip is Niagara Falls, about 130 km (80 mi) from downtown and usually 1 h 30 to 2 h, with up to 2 h 30 on Friday afternoons. Choose the page that matches your starting point:
- Toronto to Niagara Falls
- Pearson Airport to Niagara Falls
- Union Station to Niagara Falls
- Private Niagara Falls tour from Toronto
- Limousine service in Niagara Falls
Other routes from the airport and the city include Pearson to Kitchener-Waterloo, Pearson to Barrie, Pearson to Muskoka, Pearson to Kingston and Pearson to London, Ontario. Longer intercity trips are on the routes hub: Toronto to Ottawa, Toronto to Montreal, Toronto to New York City, Toronto to Blue Mountain and Toronto to Casino Rama.
Downtown stays, stations and events
Downtown has its own logistics: one-way streets, a rail terminal, transit-priority corridors and a calendar full of events. Start with the downtown Toronto hotel transfer guide, which lists drop-off notes for each hotel district, and the Union Station page for the station layout.
Event pages cover the biggest dates. The Toronto International Film Festival fills King Street West each September, and the Toronto Convention Centre page explains the North and South buildings, the SkyWalk and garage clearances; the centre's own site has the schedule. For other occasions, see the events hub.
Limousine hire, weddings and corporate days
For hourly hire, weddings, nights out and corporate days, the Toronto limousine page explains vehicles, booking, tipping custom and the exact cancellation terms. Our wedding transport and corporate events pages cover group movements, and the fleet shows each class: Executive Sedan, First Class Sedan, Luxury SUV and Executive Sprinter, with mini-coaches and coaches seating 20 to 56, Maybach, Rolls-Royce, stretch limousine and armoured vehicles on request, availability confirmed at booking.
Guides for first-time visitors
- Arriving in Toronto: a guide for international travellers covers the eTA, customs kiosks and terminals. The government's eTA page has the official rules.
- Things to do in Toronto by private car pairs attractions with drive times and day trips.
- The wider guides hub explains how private airport transfers work and when to choose them.
Where Toronto fits in the wider network
Toronto is where Onroutz.ca is based, but the same booker covers Canada coast to coast, the United States, the Caribbean and Mexico, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Outside Toronto and southern Ontario, a vetted, licensed and commercially insured local partner delivers the ride, and the Toronto desk books, confirms, supports and invoices it. If you live in the GTA, the same account handles your trips abroad. See the airport transfers hub and the services page for the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
Which airport should I fly into for Toronto?
Toronto Pearson for most international and long-haul flights, about 28 km from downtown. Billy Bishop is closer, about 2 km from the core, and is used by Porter and Air Canada on regional and some US routes. Compare them on the Pearson and Billy Bishop pages.
How long is the drive from Pearson to downtown Toronto?
Usually 30 to 45 minutes outside rush hour for about 28 km. Allow 60 to 90 minutes on a weekday afternoon or when the Gardiner Expressway is disrupted. The UP Express train takes about 28 minutes to Union Station.
Can I book a limousine from Toronto Airport?
Yes. Book before you fly and a chauffeur tracks your flight and waits 60 minutes free after an international landing. You can also use the airport's walk-up queue, which has its own flat rates.
Do you serve the suburbs around Toronto?
Yes. Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Durham Region and more all have pages in the airport limousine section.
How much does a Toronto transfer cost?
The booker shows a fixed all-in fare for your exact pickup, drop-off and vehicle before you pay. Enter the details and you see the number, so there is no estimate to reconcile later.
What is the cheapest way to get from Pearson to the city?
The TTC 900 Airport Express to Kipling Station and the UP Express to Union Station are the public options. Each is shared, timetabled and limited on luggage. A private car is the practical choice for groups, children and heavy bags.
Do you offer a Niagara Falls transfer from Toronto?
Yes. It is about 130 km (80 mi) and usually 1 h 30 to 2 h. See the Niagara pages above for the airport, Union Station and private-tour options.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations are free with more than 72 hours' notice. Inside 72 hours the charge steps up from 10% to 50% to 100%, counted from the scheduled pickup. The full wording is on the Toronto limousine page, and big events may carry a different deadline printed on the confirmation.
