Trusted Cross-Border Professionals: Federally Licensed & Certified
US DOT Registered
Airport Transportation Toronto holds United States Department of Transportation commercial registration — the federal licence required by law to transport paying passengers across the US border. This is why we can legally offer flat-rate service to Buffalo Airport (BUF) and Detroit Airport (DTW). Most Toronto taxi services are Ontario-licensed only and cannot legally cross the border with passengers for hire.
Provincial Transport Specialist: Ontario Certified for Commercial Vehicles
CVOR Certified — Ontario
Airport Transportation Toronto holds a Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration (CVOR) issued by the Province of Ontario — required for all licensed commercial ground transport operations in Ontario. CVOR certification confirms our vehicles are inspected, our drivers are background-checked, and our insurance meets provincial commercial transport standards. You are riding with a legally registered, provincially certified operator.
Your Pickup — What It Looks Like
Your Driver Is Already Waiting When You Land.
When you fly into Toronto Pearson, Billy Bishop, Hamilton Airport, Buffalo, or Detroit — your driver is already at the terminal before your wheels touch down. Not circling the lot. Not waiting for your call. Already parked, already waiting, already aware of your flight’s exact status.
Every airport pickup with Airport Transportation Toronto begins the same way: your driver pulls up your flight on a live tracking system when you depart. If your flight is on time, your driver is at the door when you clear customs. If your flight is 45 minutes late, your driver adjusts automatically — no phone call from you required, and no additional charge for the extended wait.
Whether you are arriving on a domestic Air Canada flight into Terminal 3, an international Air France or Emirates flight into Terminal 1, or a cross-border pre-clearance flight from the United States — Airport Transportation Toronto provides pre-arranged pickup for all arrivals, including international passengers clearing Canadian customs. Your driver accounts for typical CBSA processing time when scheduling your pickup.
Our most frequently booked pickup routes include Mississauga to Pearson Airport, taxi from Pearson Airport to downtown Toronto, Vaughan, Markham, Etobicoke, Woodbridge, Barrie, and Alliston. Wherever you need to go — your flat rate is confirmed before you board your inbound flight.
- Driver positioned at terminal before your flight lands — adjusted for delays
- No charge for flight delays — ever. Wait time is absorbed, not billed
- Name board in arrivals hall for Meet & Greet bookings
- Luggage loading assistance — driver handles your bags
- Text notification when driver is on site and ready
- Air-conditioned, Wi-Fi-equipped vehicle — ready to go
Meet & Greet Service — Upon Request
Walk Out of Customs and Your Name Is Already on a Board.
Meet & Greet service is the choice of corporate clients receiving international executives, families meeting elderly or first-time visitors, and any passenger arriving at Toronto Pearson who simply does not want the uncertainty of navigating an unfamiliar terminal while managing luggage.
When you request Meet & Greet at the time of booking, your driver proceeds into the arrivals hall — at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 at Pearson, at Billy Bishop, at Buffalo Niagara, or at Detroit Metropolitan — and waits with a professionally prepared name board displaying the passenger’s name or your company name.
There is no navigation required, no texting a driver to locate a vehicle, and no standing at the curbside in the rain trying to spot your car. Your driver comes to you. This service is also available at Buffalo Niagara International Airport and Detroit Metropolitan Airport for passengers on cross-border routes.
- Driver enters arrivals hall — Pearson Terminal 1 or Terminal 3
- Professionally prepared name board with passenger or company name
- Available at all five airports including BUF and DTW
- Particularly recommended for corporate VIP arrivals and elderly passengers
- Request in special comments field at booking — no extra step
Families · Groups · All Vehicle Sizes
The Right Vehicle for Every Arrival — Every Group Size.
Airport pickup with two suitcases and a laptop bag is one thing. Airport pickup with a family of five, two checked bags each, a stroller, and a car seat for a toddler is another. Airport Transportation Toronto has both covered — at the same flat-rate, pre-arranged standard.
For solo and business travellers, a Luxury Sedan provides a quiet, climate-controlled environment with charging ports and Wi-Fi from the terminal to your office or hotel. For families, a Full-Size SUV (GMC Yukon XL, Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade) carries up to six passengers with full luggage and pre-installed child car seats. For large groups, the Sprinter Van accommodates up to 12 passengers — corporate delegations, sports teams, and conference groups — in a single vehicle rather than multiple taxis.
Every vehicle class is available for airport pickups from all five airports. Your vehicle is reserved specifically for your trip at the time of booking — not assigned from a pool at the curb. When you land, your vehicle is already committed to your booking.
- Child car seats pre-installed upon request — infant, toddler, booster
- Luggage handled by your driver — no self-loading required
- Complimentary Wi-Fi in all vehicles across all pickup locations
- Vehicle confirmed at booking — not assigned at arrival
- All vehicle classes available from all five airports
- Exact Pickup Locations — No Confusion
Where to Find Your Driver at Toronto Pearson Airport
Your booking confirmation specifies your exact meeting point. Here is what to expect at each terminal when your flight lands at Pearson YYZ.
T1
Terminal 1 — Arrivals Pickup
Terminal 1 handles most international flights including all Air Canada transoceanic routes, Star Alliance carriers, and US Customs pre-clearance flights. After clearing customs and collecting your checked bags, proceed through the arrivals doors to the Ground Transportation level. Your driver is waiting at Terminal 1 Door A on the arrivals level.
If you have booked Meet & Greet service, your driver will be inside the arrivals hall — past customs and baggage claim — with a name board before you reach the exit doors. You do not need to go to the curb.
- 📍 Meeting Point: Terminal 1 — Door A
T3
Terminal 3 — Arrivals Pickup
Terminal 3 handles domestic Air Canada flights, WestJet, and several international carriers including Air Transat and Sunwing. After your arrival, proceed through the arrivals area — domestic arrivals do not require customs. Exit to the Ground Transportation level. Your driver is waiting at Terminal 3 Door A on the arrivals level.
For domestic arrivals with Meet & Greet service, your driver enters the arrivals hall and waits with a name board near the exit. Your flight number and terminal are confirmed in your booking, and your driver tracks your specific flight throughout the day.
- 📍 Meeting Point: Terminal 3 — Door A
Other airports: Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) — arrivals on the Island side ferry dock or the pedestrian tunnel exit, as confirmed at booking. Hamilton International Airport (YHM) — curbside at the main arrivals exit. Buffalo Niagara Airport (BUF, 🇺🇸) and Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW, 🇺🇸) — curbside Ground Transportation area as confirmed in your booking confirmation. All cross-border pickups operate under US DOT registration.

Short-Term & Quick Pick-Ups at Toronto Pearson Airport
Everything you need to know about Pearson Airport‘s pickup zones, parking options, and waiting areas — for passengers collecting travellers or arriving to board a pre-arranged pickup.
Terminal 1 Express Park
Use Terminal 1 Express Park — a convenient paid option for stays of up to three hours, designed for quick stops and short pick-up windows. Short-term parking is also available at the Terminal 3 Daily Park for passengers arriving from Terminal 3 flights.
Cell Phone Waiting Area — 45 Minutes Complimentary
Take advantage of the complimentary 45-minute wait at the Cell Phone Waiting Area. When your passenger is ready, proceed safely to the arrivals curb. Pre-arranged pickups with Airport Transportation Toronto eliminate this wait entirely — your driver tracks the flight and arrives only when you are ready.
One-Minute Pick-Up & Drop-Off Zones
In a rush? Terminals 1 and 3 both have designated one-minute pick-up and drop-off zones for immediate curbside stops. Note: curb space is limited and extended waiting is not permitted in these zones — your pre-arranged driver is timed precisely to your arrival.
Accessible Pickup Locations
Passengers using wheelchairs or other mobility aids can be dropped off and picked up at designated accessible locations at both terminals. All vehicles in our fleet are serviced for comfortable boarding — advise us of any accessibility requirements at the time of booking.
Pearson vehicle restriction: Vehicles must be less than 4.5 metres in height at the arrivals curb for Terminals 1 and 3. All Airport Transportation Toronto vehicles comply with this requirement. For international arrivals at Terminal 1, allow additional time for Canadian Border Services Agency processing before reaching the arrivals level.

Bags In — Door Closed — Moving
Your driver loads your luggage, opens your door, and you are on your way. The route goes directly to your drop-off address — no shared passengers, no extra stops, no detours. You pay the flat rate confirmed at booking. Corporate accounts receive a monthly invoice.

If your flight is delayed — by weather, mechanical issues, air traffic control, or any other reason — your driver adjusts the pickup time automatically. You are never charged for delays caused by your airline, and you never need to call or send a new arrival time. Flight tracking is included with every airport pickup booking at no extra charge.
Is there a flat rate for airport pickup from Toronto Pearson?

Your confirmed flat rate is provided by email and text immediately after booking.
Can I request Meet & Greet service at Toronto Pearson Airport?
Yes. Meet & Greet service is available upon request for any airport pickup booking. Your driver enters the arrivals hall at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 and waits with a professionally prepared name board displaying your name or your company name.

Meet & Greet is also available at Billy Bishop Airport, Buffalo Niagara Airport, and Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Can I book an airport pickup with a child car seat?
Yes. Child car seat service is available upon request for all airport pickup bookings across all vehicle classes. Infant seats are available for children under 9 kg, forward-facing toddler seats for children between 9 and 18 kg, and booster seats for children between 18 and 36 kg. Indicate your child’s age and weight in the special requests field at booking — your driver arrives with the correct seat pre-installed and inspected. Multiple seats can be requested for families with more than one young child.
How far in advance should I book my airport pickup in Toronto?
We recommend booking your Toronto airport pickup at least 24 hours before your scheduled arrival time. This guarantees your preferred vehicle class and allows your driver assignment to be confirmed before your flight departs. Same-day and last-minute bookings are accepted subject to vehicle availability — call toll-free (888) 786-8007 directly for urgent same-day requests.
How much does an airport pickup from Toronto Pearson cost?
Airport pickup rates from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) vary based on your destination address, vehicle class, and distance from the airport. All rates are flat — confirmed in writing at the time of booking with no surge pricing and no additional charges for flight delays. To receive your specific confirmed flat rate, complete the online booking form or call toll-free (888) 786-8007. Our operators provide immediate quotes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What is the difference between pre-arranged pickup and calling a rideshare app after landing?
Pre-arranged pickup means your driver is confirmed, your vehicle is reserved, and your flat rate is locked before your flight departs. When you land, your driver is already waiting — adjusted for any delay. Calling a rideshare app after landing means requesting in real time: surge pricing applies during peak arrivals, drivers may not be immediately available, and the cost can be significantly higher than pre-arranged.
