University of Toronto Mississauga airport limo.
Toronto Pearson to the Mississauga Road campus on the flat rate for that address, either direction, booked from anywhere and paid at the door.
Pearson to UTM, flat
The flat GTAA-tariff fare for 3359 Mississauga Rd, Mississauga, ON L5L 1C6, HST included, the same in both directions. Mississauga is priced by neighbourhood zone, so a residence a few streets away can sit in a different zone; enter the exact address and your fare shows before you confirm. 3 to 20 km · about 10 to 25 minutes. Never surges.
U of T Mississauga sits on Mississauga Road along the Credit River, in a corner of the city that is quiet, wooded and genuinely hard to describe to a taxi driver at midnight. It is close to the airport by any reasonable measure, and still far enough that a first-time arrival with a year of luggage should not be working it out at the curb. A car is there, the price was agreed when the trip was booked, and the drive is over before the jet lag arrives.
Mississauga is priced by zone on the official airport tariff, and the campus is not in the city's cheapest zone. The number above is therefore the fare for the campus address itself rather than a citywide floor that would look better on a page and be wrong at the door. HST is inside it, the return leg matches, and it is paid to the driver at the end by card or cash in the car.
The people booking this trip are usually not the people taking it. A parent in another time zone books, a student rides, and the two need different information: the confirmation and any changes go to whoever booked, while the message with the driver's location and plate goes to the phone that will actually be standing in arrivals.
Your first landing at Pearson, in order
- Your flight is tracked automatically from the moment you book, so a late departure or a slow taxi to the gate moves your driver's timing without a call from anyone.
- Included waiting starts from wheels-down: 60 minutes on international arrivals, 30 on domestic. That is enough for immigration, a study permit interview, and baggage for almost everyone.
- When you reach arrivals with your bags, look at your phone. Your chauffeur has texted the exact spot they are standing, curbside at your terminal, with the car's licence plate.
- Walk out, find the plate, and the driver loads everything. Nothing to sign and nothing to pay yet.
- At the campus door you pay the driver, by card or cash in the car, exactly the flat fare you saw when the trip was booked. HST is already in it.
Where the car goes on campus
- The residences here have names rather than numbers, and naming yours in the booking notes saves a lap of the ring road: Oscar Peterson Hall, Roy Ivor Hall, Erindale Hall, McLuhan Court, Putnam Place, Schreiberwood, MaGrath Valley and Leacock Lane, along with the newest building added to that list.
- The campus is priced as its own zone, so an apartment in Erin Mills or Streetsville nearby can carry a different fare from the university itself. Enter the exact street address you are going to and the booking page shows the number for it before you confirm.
- Visiting faculty and conference guests are the other half of this run, and the hotels along Mississauga Road and the Erin Mills corridor sit close to campus on comparable zone fares.
- Move-in weekend in late August fills the campus loop with cars. A booked pickup at a fixed price is not faster through that traffic than anyone else, but the driver knows the building and does not need to be directed to it.
- There is no separate charge for the Credit River side of the campus or for a late arrival: the fare is the zone's published number whatever time the aircraft lands.
Every trip includes
- GTAA-tariff flat rate. HST included.

- Flight tracking automatically. If you land early, the driver knows; if you're delayed, the pickup shifts.

UTM questions, answered.
How much is a car from Pearson to U of T Mississauga?
The fare above is the flat rate for the campus address under the official airport tariff, HST included, the same in both directions. Mississauga is priced by zone and this campus is not in the city's cheapest one, so this is the number for the university rather than a citywide floor.
How long does the drive take?
Typically twenty to thirty minutes depending on the hour, mostly on Highway 403 and down Mississauga Road. Late evening it can be under twenty. A weekday afternoon westbound is the slow case, and for a departing flight we set the pickup from that day's traffic.
Which residence will the driver go to?
Whichever one you name. Put the building in the notes when you book, Oscar Peterson Hall or Roy Ivor Hall or any of the others, and the driver pulls up at that entrance rather than at the main campus gate with the bags still to carry.
Can I book from outside Canada for my son or daughter?
Yes. Use your own mobile with its country code, tick that you are booking for another passenger, and enter the student's number. You get the confirmation and any changes, they get the arrival message with the driver's exact spot and plate, and nothing is charged in advance.
What if the flight is delayed?
It is tracked automatically from the time of booking, so the driver's timing follows the aircraft rather than the printed schedule. From wheels-down there are 60 included minutes on an international arrival and 30 on a domestic one, and beyond that the posted per-10-minute rate applies while the driver waits.
Sedan or SUV?
Three passengers and three checked bags fit the sedan comfortably. Two students sharing a ride with a year of luggage each, or a family arriving together, should take the SUV: six seats and five checked bags with room to spare.
Do you drive to off-campus student housing nearby?
Yes, to any address. Erin Mills, Streetsville and the neighbourhoods around the campus each sit in their own fare zone, so enter the real address and the correct fare shows before you confirm rather than after.
Can several students share one booking?
Up to six in the SUV with five checked bags between them, which is usually the cheapest sensible way for a group arriving on the same flight. For a larger group we send two cars on one booking so they arrive together.
How does the end-of-term trip work?
The same fare in reverse, booked from the residence with the flight number. We suggest a pickup time that allows the drive plus your airline's check-in window. Cancellation is free up to 2 hours before pickup and dispatch is reachable at any hour.
