About this route.
East York is a half-hour from Pearson without traffic and a good deal more with it, most of the variation sitting on the DVP and the Don Valley approaches. The GTAA tariff prices it by neighbourhood zone, so the fare depends on your exact address: it starts at $78 around Leaside and Thorncliffe Park and reaches $91 through the older streets north of the Danforth.
Rather than guess which side of a zone boundary you are on, put your address into the booking page. The quote it shows is your zone's published rate, final and identical in both directions, with HST already in the number.

Frequently asked.
How long is the drive between Pearson and East York?
About 29 to 39 km, and typically 30 to 50 minutes. The range depends on when you travel rather than on the route. For departures our 24/7 dispatch suggests a pickup time with an honest buffer for your terminal and check-in; for arrivals we track the flight, so the timing is our problem, not yours.
Is the flat rate really flat, and what does it include?
Yes, once your address resolves to its zone. The published tariff prices East York by neighbourhood, so the quote depends on where exactly you are, starting at $78. Whatever that number turns out to be, it is fixed before you book and includes HST and airport waiting time, 60 minutes on international arrivals and 30 on domestic, counted from wheels-down. There is no surge pricing and no night premium, and gratuity is entirely at your discretion.
What happens if my flight into Pearson is delayed?
Nothing you need to manage. Every flight is tracked automatically, so your chauffeur meets the plane you actually arrive on, not the schedule you booked. From wheels-down you have 60 minutes of included waiting on international flights and 30 on domestic, enough time for passport control and baggage. Beyond that, waiting is $10 per 10 minutes. If plans change altogether, cancellation is free up to 2 hours before pickup.
Why does the fare differ across East York?
The GTAA tariff prices by neighbourhood zone, and East York spans several. Fares start at $78 through Leaside and Thorncliffe Park and reach $91 across the older streets north of the Danforth. Put your exact address into the booking page and the quote resolves your zone, final in both directions.
How much does the Don Valley Parkway affect the timing?
It is the whole variable on this route. A clear DVP puts you at Pearson in half an hour; a slow one can double that, and it is slow more often than not on a weekday morning. Dispatch sets your departure pickup against live traffic rather than a fixed rule of thumb, and the fare does not change either way.
How much luggage fits, and when should I book the Executive SUV?
The Sedan is a Lexus ES, comfortable for up to 3 passengers with 3 bags. The Executive SUV is a GMC Yukon XL, seating up to 6 with room for 5 bags, and it is a flat $20 above the Sedan. Pick the SUV for four or more travellers, oversized items like golf clubs or skis, or a long trip's worth of checked luggage. Groups of 7 or more travel in multiple vehicles, timed to arrive together.
