East York airport limo.
Door to terminal between East York and Toronto Pearson, driven by the same family since 1976, on a flat rate you settle with the driver after the trip.
East York is close to Pearson as the crow flies and a long way from it at 8 a.m., because everything between here and the airport runs through the Don Valley or the 401. Your chauffeur arrives at your door in Leaside, Thorncliffe Park, Pape Village, Woodbine Heights or the streets off the Danforth ahead of the agreed time, with that morning's choice between the DVP and Don Mills Road already made, and the fare does not change with it.
The tariff prices East York by neighbourhood zone, so the fare depends on your exact address rather than on the hour or the traffic. The starting fares on this page belong to the zone around Leaside and Thorncliffe Park, on the west side nearest the valley; the number rises through the older streets north of the Danforth and out toward Woodbine and Coxwell. Put your address into the booking page and your zone's exact fare appears before you confirm, the same in both directions. You pay the driver at the end of the ride, by card or cash, with no deposit and no card on file.
Coming home, your flight is tracked automatically, so a delay simply moves the driver's timing without a call from you. Your chauffeur is curbside at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 and texts you exactly where they are standing, then it is the 401 and the DVP, or Eglinton across the top, back to your own front door.

Pickups across East York
- Off-peak, most East York addresses reach Pearson in about 30 to 40 minutes: the DVP to the 401 and west, or Eglinton and Don Mills up to the 401 when the valley is stalled. Weekday mornings can push that past an hour, and we build it into the pickup time.
- Leaside and Thorncliffe Park pickups reach the DVP or the 401 quickly by way of Overlea, Millwood or Bayview; the Danforth streets come up Pape, Donlands or Coxwell to O'Connor and the valley, a few minutes more.
- Overnight and pre-dawn pickups are the easy ones here, with the DVP empty and the 401 clear; it is the daytime departure that needs the buffer.
- For a flight before 7 a.m., a pickup around two and a half hours ahead is comfortable from anywhere in East York; domestic flights need a little less.
- Anchors we work from: Michael Garron Hospital on Coxwell, the Laird Drive and Wicksteed Avenue commercial strip, the Overlea Boulevard offices, and the Pape, Donlands and Woodbine subway corridors along the Danforth.

East York questions, answered.
How long does it take to get from East York to Pearson?
About 30 to 40 minutes off-peak, roughly 30 to 40 kilometres depending on the address, by way of the Don Valley Parkway and Highway 401. On a weekday morning the DVP and the 401 westbound can push that past an hour, so your driver may go up Don Mills or across Eglinton instead. We time the pickup around live conditions, not an average.
Why does the fare depend on my address?
East York is priced by neighbourhood zone on the official GTAA tariff rather than as one number for the whole district. The zone around Leaside and Thorncliffe Park is the lowest, and the fare rises through the streets north of the Danforth and east toward Woodbine. Enter your address on the booking page and your zone's exact fare shows before you confirm.
Is a chauffeur really worth it this close to the airport?
The distance is short; the time is not, and that is the point. A car that is at your door at 4 a.m., tracks your flight home, and costs the same on a snow day as on a Tuesday is what people here book us for, not the mileage. The fare includes HST and is the same in both directions.
When should I be picked up for an early morning flight?
For an international departure before 7 a.m., a pickup around two and a half hours ahead puts you at the terminal with the DVP and the 401 still empty and the recommended check-in window intact. Domestic flights need a little less. Give us your flight number when you book and we will sanity-check the timing with you.
Do you also go to Billy Bishop?
Yes. Billy Bishop on the island is priced separately from Pearson; enter it as the destination on the booking page and the fare appears before you confirm.
What happens when I land back at Pearson, and what if my flight is delayed?
Nothing is required from you. Flight tracking is automatic, so the driver works from your actual wheels-down time and adjusts to any delay without a call. Your chauffeur meets you curbside at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 and texts you exactly where they are standing. Waiting is included, 60 minutes on international arrivals and 30 on domestic, counted from wheels-down, with anything beyond that billed at the posted per-10-minute rate.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
You pay the driver after the trip, by card or cash in the car. There is no deposit, no payment link, and no card on file. Cancellation is free up to 2 hours before pickup, and if your flight moves we simply retime the ride.
Sedan or SUV, and how do child seats work?
The executive sedan carries up to 3 passengers with 3 bags, which suits most couples and solo trips. The Executive SUV takes up to 6 passengers with 5 bags, the right call for families or anyone flying with extra luggage. Child seats are free, up to two per booking, and always ride in the Executive SUV, so tell us each child's age when you book. For 7 or more passengers we dispatch multiple vehicles together as one booking.
