Rate card.
GTAA Pearson chauffeur tariff. Flat rate per vehicle class, HST included.
About this route.
Etobicoke is the closest Toronto district to Pearson, and this short hop is one of the trips our family has driven most since 1976. When you land at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, your chauffeur is already at the curb with your name, because every flight is tracked from wheels-down. Going the other way, the car is at your door on schedule whether you're leaving the Kingsway at dawn or Long Branch after midnight, with 24/7 dispatch behind every booking. The fare is set by the GTAA's published tariff, includes HST, and never moves because it's a long weekend or because the 427 is crawling.
The GTAA tariff divides Etobicoke into neighbourhood zones, so the fare depends on your exact address. Sedan fares start at $30 on the Dixon Rd hotel strip beside the airport and rise to around $53 toward the lakeshore; the Executive SUV is a flat $20 above the Sedan in every zone. Enter your address on the booking page and the live quote resolves your zone instantly. That number is exact and final, the same in both directions, and it is the number on your receipt.

Frequently asked.
How long is the drive between Pearson and Etobicoke?
Etobicoke runs from about 5 km away in Rexdale to about 17 km at the far lakeshore, and the drive typically runs 15 to 25 minutes. Etobicoke is the closest Toronto district to Pearson, so even in heavier traffic this stays one of the shortest airport trips in the city. Your chauffeur watches the 427, the 401, and the Gardiner and takes whichever route is moving.
Is the flat rate actually flat, and what does it include?
Yes. The fare is set by the GTAA's published tariff, includes HST, and never changes for weather, time of day, or demand. There is no surge, no deposit, no payment link, and no card on file. You settle with the driver after the trip; every car carries a card terminal and cash is equally welcome. Gratuity is entirely at your discretion, and cancellation is free up to 2 hours before pickup.
What happens if my flight into Pearson is delayed?
Nothing you need to manage. We track every flight automatically, and your included waiting time starts at wheels-down, not at the scheduled arrival. You get 60 minutes on international flights and 30 on domestic before any waiting charge applies, and beyond that it's $10 per 10 minutes. In practice, a late flight simply means your chauffeur is at the curb a little later, with your name.
Why does the fare differ across Etobicoke?
The GTAA tariff prices by neighbourhood zone, and Etobicoke spans several. Sedan fares start at $30 on the Dixon Rd hotel strip beside the airport and rise to around $53 toward the lakeshore. Rather than guess from a map, put your exact address into the booking page: the quote it shows is your zone's published rate, final in both directions.
How much luggage fits, and when should I book the Executive SUV?
The Sedan is a Lexus ES with room for up to 3 passengers and 3 bags, which covers most couples and solo travellers comfortably. The Executive SUV is a GMC Yukon XL that takes up to 6 passengers and 5 bags, and it's a flat $20 above the Sedan fare. Pick it for families, ski or golf gear, or any trip where the suitcase count creeps past three. Groups of 7 or more travel in multiple vehicles, coordinated to arrive together.
