About this route.
Stratford is about 130 km northwest of Pearson, roughly an hour and a half by way of the 401 and Highway 7 and 8. A good part of the traffic on this route is theatre: visitors flying in for a run of performances, often with a matinee to make on the day they land. The fare is flat and the flight is tracked, so a delayed arrival moves the pickup rather than the plan.
One published rate covers the whole town, the Festival and Avon theatre district, and the inns and bed and breakfasts around them.

Frequently asked.
How long is the drive between Pearson and Stratford?
About 130 km, and typically 80 to 105 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. One published rate covers every address in Stratford, any time of day, any day of the week. It 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. The number you see when you book is the number you pay.
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.
Can you get me to a matinee on the day I land?
Often, but it depends on the flight. The drive is about an hour and a half, and you need time to clear customs and collect bags on top of that. Tell dispatch the curtain time when you book and we will say honestly whether the flight leaves enough room, rather than agreeing and hoping.
Is the rate different during the Festival season?
No. The published rate does not move for the season, for a weekend, or for a sold-out night. Book earlier during the summer run, though, because the cars go before the dates do.
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.
