Billy Bishop (YTZ) transfers.
Land at Billy Bishop, walk the tunnel or ride the ferry, and your chauffeur is already waiting on the mainland side. Family-run and meeting Toronto arrivals since 1976.
Toronto's island airport, minus the scramble
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport sits on the Toronto Islands just off downtown, which makes it wonderfully close to everything and slightly unusual to leave. Every passenger crosses to the mainland through the short pedestrian tunnel or on the ferry from the foot of Bathurst St, and that is exactly where we position your car.
Whether you fly Porter or one of Air Canada's regional routes, the last thing you want after landing is to stand at the foot of Bathurst St hoping a ride appears. Book ahead and skip that part entirely.
How a YTZ pickup works
- We track your flight automatically and adjust the pickup to the actual wheels-down time.
- Waiting is included: 60 minutes on international arrivals, 30 on domestic, counted from wheels-down.
- Beyond the included window, waiting runs $10 per 10 minutes. That is the entire fee schedule.
- Your chauffeur meets you on the mainland side, where the tunnel and the Bathurst St ferry both bring you across.
- Dispatch is staffed 24/7, so a first-flight-out Porter departure or a late arrival is routine for us.
- Plans change? Cancel free up to 2 hours before pickup.
Two vehicles, one standard
Every trip runs in one of two cars, both driven by professional chauffeurs who know the rhythm of the Bathurst St pickup.
- Sedan: our executive sedan class for up to 3 passengers with 3 bags. The right call for solo flyers and couples.
- Executive SUV: a full-size executive SUV for up to 6 passengers with 5 bags. Room for a family and all its luggage.
- Travelling as 7 or more? We send multiple vehicles, timed to arrive together.
A flat quote before you commit
YTZ trips are not priced on the Pearson airport tariff. Instead, they get an instant flat quote on the booking page, so you see your exact fare before you confirm.
The number you see is the number you pay. Fares include HST, there is no surge pricing, and gratuity is already included.
Settle up after the ride, not before
We are a family-run, GTAA-licensed chauffeur service, and we still handle payment the old way: you settle with your driver after the trip. Every car carries a card terminal, and cash is equally welcome.
No deposits, no payment links, and no card on file, ever. Your reservation is held by our 24/7 dispatch, the same way it has worked since 1976.
Questions, answered.
Where does my driver meet me at Billy Bishop?
On the mainland side, at the foot of Bathurst St, where both the pedestrian tunnel and the ferry bring you across. Your chauffeur watches your flight, so the car is positioned for your actual arrival, not the scheduled one.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Nothing you need to manage. We track flights automatically and reset the pickup to wheels-down. From that moment, 60 minutes of waiting is included on international arrivals and 30 on domestic. After that, waiting runs $10 per 10 minutes.
How much does a YTZ transfer cost?
Every YTZ trip gets an instant flat quote on the booking page, based on your exact pickup and drop-off. The quote includes HST, never surges, and gratuity is already included.
Do I need to pay a deposit or leave a card on file?
Never. Payment is settled with your driver after the trip. Every car carries a card terminal, and cash is equally welcome. No deposits, no payment links, no card on file.
We are a group of 8. Can you still take us?
Yes. Our largest vehicle, the Executive SUV, seats 6, so groups of 7 or more travel in multiple vehicles dispatched together. One booking, one arrival time, enough seats and cargo space for everyone.
