Six Things Happen Automatically Once You Book.

Your reservation is not a request sitting in a queue. It is an active dispatch record that our system monitors continuously from the moment of booking until your driver drops you off.

Flight Tracking Begins

Your flight number is loaded into our dispatch software. The system monitors departures, delays, gate changes, and landings in real time from booking onward.

Vehicle Is Reserved

Your specific vehicle class is blocked in the fleet calendar. No double-booking, no substitution to an inferior class, no last-minute vehicle swap.

Driver Is Assigned

A named CVOR-certified driver is assigned to your booking at least 12 hours before pickup. Their contact mobile number is sent to you directly.

SMS Reminder Lands

A reminder SMS arrives 24 hours before pickup with your driver name, vehicle, and pickup time confirmed again.

Vehicle Dispatched

The vehicle departs our depot 15 to 30 minutes before pickup depending on your distance. An SMS with live location arrives at departure.

Driver Arrives on Time

Your driver is at your door or terminal at the confirmed time. No waiting, no surge pricing, no metered rate surprises. Locked flat rate at drop-off.

A Live Dispatcher Answers Every Call. Every Hour.

When you call Airport Transportation Toronto at 3 AM, 6 AM, or 11 PM, a live dispatcher answers in under 3 rings. No phone tree. No “press 2 for reservations.” No voicemail during busy hours. Our dispatch centre in Toronto is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and every dispatcher has full access to your booking history, your flight status, your driver location, and your written confirmation. Day-of-travel questions, last-minute changes, and unexpected flight reroutes are handled by the same person who owns your booking. You do not get transferred. You do not repeat yourself. You do not wait for a callback. If your flight reroutes to Hamilton instead of Pearson, your driver is redirected before you disembark. That is what 24/7 dispatch means.

Why Pre-Arrange Your Toronto Airport Pickup?

The question every Toronto traveller considers after a long flight. Here is the honest comparison — specific to airport arrivals, not general city trips.

Pickup Side

Pickup address. Full street address including unit or suite number. For hotels, the property name and the pickup door.

Pickup date and time. Or your scheduled flight arrival time if you are being picked up from Pearson or Billy Bishop.

Flight number and airline. Required for airport pickups to track your flight from the origin city.

Contact mobile number. For SMS confirmation, driver contact on travel day, and dispatch follow-ups.

Trip Details

Destination. Address for drop-offs, or full destination if multi-stop. For airports specify terminal.

Passenger count. Including children in car seats, for vehicle class recommendation.

Luggage count. Checked bags plus carry-ons. Oversized items such as skis, bicycles, or strollers noted separately.

Special requests. Child car seat (available upon request), meet-and-greet (upon request), extra stops, corporate billing.

Book Ahead. Lock Your Rate.

Our 24/7 dispatch accepts reservations right up until minutes before pickup, but the earlier you book, the more options you have. Here are the recommended lead times by trip type.

Early Morning Pickups Are Why Reservations Exist.

Between 3 AM and 6 AM across the GTA, metered taxi availability drops, rideshare driver density drops, and on-demand app surge pricing multiplies fares by two or three times. Street taxis available at that hour are not the ones you want arriving for a Pearson terminal departure. A pre-arranged reservation with Airport Transportation Toronto converts the hardest ground-transport hour of the day into the most reliable. Your driver is assigned 12 hours ahead. The vehicle is dispatched from our depot before the sun is up. The driver arrives at your door with a phone call, not an app ping. Your flat rate is the same at 3 AM as it is at 3 PM. This is why frequent travellers, corporate assistants, and anyone with a pre-dawn international flight books with us instead of opening a rideshare app at 2:45 AM.

The Reservation You Book Is Backed by Every Credential.

Not every airport taxi provider fulfils every reservation. Here is what stands behind the confirmation number you receive when you book with us.

Ontario Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration. Full insurance, driver credentials, vehicle inspections.

US DOT Certified

Cross-border authorization for Buffalo and Detroit airport transportation. I-94 processing included.

4.9 Google Rated

24/7 Dispatch

Live dispatcher answers every call. No phone tree. No voicemail during business hours. Never.

Our Cancellation Policy Is Designed for Travellers.

Flights delay. Meetings move. Weather shifts. Your booking should flex with your travel day, not penalize you for needing flexibility. Here are our rules in plain language.

Cancellations

We divide cancellations into three windows based on how far ahead you cancel from your scheduled pickup time.

12 or more hours ahead. Full refund. No fee. No questions.
12 to 3 hours ahead. 50 percent fee. Covers driver dispatch prep and lost booking slot.
Inside 3 hours. Full booked rate charged. Driver has been assigned and vehicle reserved.
Airline-cancelled flight. Force majeure. Full refund upon proof of airline cancellation.

your booking with us, on a different day or at a different time.

Date change, time change, address change, vehicle upgrade. Free when made 12 or more hours ahead.

Flight delay adjustments. Always free. Your driver adjusts automatically based on live flight tracking.
Passenger count increases. Accommodated when possible, otherwise vehicle upgrade offered.

When Your Flight Lands, Your Driver Is Waiting.

The final step of your reservation is the first moment of your arrival. Your driver has been tracking your flight from origin city. Within minutes of wheels-down, an SMS arrives with your driver’s first name and a short vehicle description. If your reservation included meet-and-greet service (available upon request), your driver is already inside the terminal at the baggage-claim exit with your name on a small placard. If you prefer a kerb-side pickup, your driver texts you the vehicle location at Door A of your arrival terminal. Checked bags are loaded by the driver. Water bottles are available in the vehicle on request. The cabin temperature has been adjusted to your preference if specified at booking. Your flat rate is locked. No meter. No surge. No surprises. Welcome to Toronto, or welcome home.

Every Question About Booking Airport Taxi Toronto.

From first-time travellers booking their first pre-arranged airport taxi to corporate assistants managing dozens of travellers a month, here are the answers to every question about the reservation process.

How do I book an airport taxi in Toronto?

You have three ways to reserve your airport taxi in Toronto. Call our 24/7 dispatch at (888) 786-8007 for instant confirmation in under 60 seconds. Use the online form on this page for email confirmation within 15 minutes. Email info@airporttransportationtoronto.com with your trip details and receive a confirmed written rate by reply. All three methods produce the same written confirmation including your driver name, vehicle, pickup time, and flat rate locked for the journey.

How far in advance should I book my airport taxi?

We recommend booking at least 24 hours before your pickup time. This window secures your preferred vehicle class, locks your flat rate at the lowest available, and gives your driver full context on your flight and terminal. Same-day and last-minute bookings are accepted based on driver availability and handled by our 24/7 dispatch. For travel between 3 AM and 6 AM, for group bookings of 5 or more passengers, and for holiday weeks such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and March Break, book 48 to 72 hours ahead. Corporate clients with recurring travel open a corporate account for priority dispatch.

Can I book an airport taxi from Pearson to downtown Toronto online?

Yes. The online booking form on this page accepts reservations from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 direct to any downtown Toronto address. You receive an email confirmation within 15 minutes including your flat rate, driver name, vehicle class, and a mobile phone number to reach your driver after flight landing. Your flight number is monitored by our dispatch from the moment of booking, so flight delays adjust your pickup automatically at no extra charge. See our flat rate page for YYZ to downtown pricing.

Is there a cancellation fee for airport taxi bookings?

Cancellations made 12 hours or more before your pickup time are fully refunded with no fee. Cancellations between 12 and 3 hours before pickup are charged a 50 percent fee of the booked rate. Cancellations inside 3 hours of pickup, no-shows, and airport pickups where the passenger fails to contact the driver within 90 minutes of flight landing are charged the full booked rate. Flight cancellations by the airline are treated as force majeure and refunded in full upon proof. Date changes and pickup time changes of 15 minutes or more are always free when made 12 or more hours ahead.

What information do I need to reserve an airport taxi?

To lock your reservation we need eight pieces of information. Your full pickup address including unit or suite number. Your destination airport and terminal for drop-offs, or flight number and airline for pickups. Your pickup date and time, or scheduled flight arrival time. The number of passengers and the number of checked bags. Your contact mobile number for SMS confirmation and driver contact. Your preferred vehicle class: Sedan, SUV, or Sprinter Van. Any child car seat requirements including the ages of children. Any special requests such as meet-and-greet inside arrivals, extra luggage, or stops en route. All fields are confirmed verbally on the phone with (888) 786-8007.

Do I need to pay a deposit to reserve an airport taxi?

No deposit is required for single-trip personal bookings. Your flat rate is confirmed in writing at the time of reservation and payment is taken after the trip completes. We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), debit cards, cash, and Interac e-Transfer. Corporate accounts are billed monthly on net-30 terms. Large group bookings of 7 or more passengers, wedding and event transportation, and multi-day charter bookings require a 20 percent deposit at the time of reservation, with the balance charged after the trip completes.

How do I know my airport taxi reservation is confirmed?

Every reservation generates a written confirmation delivered to your email within 15 minutes of booking. The confirmation contains eight items: your unique booking reference number, driver name and contact mobile number, vehicle make and model, flat rate in Canadian dollars with all taxes and fees itemized, pickup date and exact time, pickup address with any terminal or door specification, cancellation and change policy, and the 24/7 dispatch phone line for day-of-travel changes. A reminder SMS arrives 24 hours before pickup and a driver-dispatched SMS with live vehicle location arrives 30 minutes before pickup. If you do not receive your confirmation within 15 minutes, call (888) 786-8007 to verify.

Can I book an airport taxi for a 3 AM or 4 AM pickup?

Yes, and early-morning pickups are one of our most-requested services. Pre-dawn departures require pre-arrangement because metered taxis, rideshares, and on-demand services have inconsistent availability and surge pricing between 3 AM and 6 AM across the GTA. We guarantee pickup for reservations confirmed at least 12 hours ahead, regardless of weather, traffic, or demand. The vehicle is dispatched 15 minutes before your scheduled pickup time, the driver SMS message arrives on departure from our depot, and the vehicle arrives at your door at the confirmed time. Every early-morning booking includes complimentary wait time and a direct phone line to your driver.

Can I change my airport taxi reservation after booking?

Yes. Date changes, time changes, pickup address changes, vehicle class upgrades, and added passenger counts are all supported. Changes made 12 or more hours before pickup are free. Changes made between 12 and 3 hours before pickup are processed. A re-dispatch fee applies when a new driver must be assigned. Changes inside 3 hours of pickup are handled by our dispatcher on a best-effort basis depending on driver availability. To make a change, call (888) 786-8007, reply to your confirmation email, or text your booking reference to your driver. All changes generate a new written confirmation.

Does my airport taxi reservation include flight tracking?

Yes. Every airport pickup reservation with a flight number includes live flight tracking from our dispatch software from the moment of booking. When your flight departs the origin city, our system receives the departure confirmation. When your flight lands at Pearson or Billy Bishop, your driver is alerted automatically and begins moving to the designated pickup door, adjusted for actual landing time not scheduled time. If your flight is delayed by 20 minutes or 4 hours, the vehicle arrives when you arrive. No fee is charged for flight delays. If your flight is cancelled and rebooked, forward the new flight number to dispatch and your pickup is rescheduled at no charge.

What vehicles can I reserve for airport transportation?

Four vehicle classes are available for reservation across every Toronto and GTA airport route. Sedan seats up to 3 passengers with 3 checked bags, operating as a Lincoln Town Car or equivalent luxury sedan. Full-size SUV seats up to 6 passengers with 5 to 6 checked bags, operating as a GMC Yukon XL, Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, Ford Expedition, or Lincoln Navigator. Nine-passenger Sprinter Van seats up to 9 passengers with 9 checked bags for groups. Fourteen-passenger Sprinter Van seats up to 14 passengers for large groups, team travel, and corporate charter. Every vehicle is late-model, CVOR-certified, and fully insured for cross-border travel to Buffalo and Detroit airports.

Can I reserve a child car seat with my airport taxi booking?

Yes. Infant, toddler, and booster seats are available upon request for any reservation. Specify the child seat type and the child age when booking so the driver brings the appropriate seat. Child car seats meet Transport Canada CMVSS 213 safety standards and are installed by your driver before pickup when possible or on arrival. For booster seats and forward-facing seats covering multiple children, specify the count at booking. See our child car seat airport taxi page for full details on seat types, weight thresholds, and age guidance.

Do I pay before or after my airport taxi trip?

Payment is taken after your trip completes, not at the time of reservation. Your flat rate is quoted and confirmed in writing at booking but your card is not charged until after drop-off. Pay the driver directly by credit card, debit card, or cash at the end of your trip, or pre-authorize a card at the time of booking for charge-after-completion. Corporate accounts receive a monthly invoice billed net-30. Receipts are emailed automatically within 30 minutes of trip completion and include all itemized charges, your driver name, vehicle, route, and date.

Can I reserve a round-trip airport taxi or only one-way?

Both one-way and round-trip bookings are supported. Round-trip reservations are quoted at the combined flat rate for both legs with a small discount for the bundled booking, and both legs are confirmed together in one email. The outbound leg is treated as a drop-off and the return leg as an airport pickup with full flight tracking. Reserve one-way with the return booked later. The system remembers your pickup address and preferred vehicle class. Multi-stop round trips including hotel stays and city tours such as our private Niagara Falls tour are booked as charters on an hourly rate.

Where does my driver meet me at Pearson Airport after a flight?

Your driver meets you at the terminal pickup door that matches your flight. For Terminal 1 arrivals, the meeting point is Door A on Level 1 Arrivals, zone marked for limousine and pre-arranged pickups. For Terminal 3 arrivals, the meeting point is Door A on the Arrivals level, also zone marked for limousine and pre-arranged pickups. Your driver texts you immediately on flight landing with their first name and vehicle description. If you prefer a meet-and-greet inside the terminal with your name on a placard at the baggage-claim exit, add that request at booking. Meet-and-greet service is available upon request. See our Pearson airport pickup page for terminal maps and door photos.

How do I reserve an airport taxi from Toronto to Buffalo or Detroit?

Cross-border reservations to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) and Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) are booked through the same channels: the online form on this page, by phone at (888) 786-8007, or by email. Our vehicles are US DOT certified for cross-border travel into New York State and Michigan, and our drivers carry enhanced driver’s licenses or passports for border crossings. At booking we request the passenger’s travel document number for the I-94 entry record and the purpose of travel. Expect a 90-minute border buffer at Peace Bridge for BUF and a 60-minute border buffer at Ambassador Bridge for DTW. Book cross-border trips 48 hours ahead minimum.

Can I book an airport taxi for someone else as a gift or on behalf of a client?

Yes. Corporate bookings, assistant-to-executive bookings, concierge bookings, and gift bookings all follow the same process with one extra field: the passenger’s full name and mobile contact number. The person making the booking receives the confirmation email and invoice, and the passenger receives a separate confirmation SMS with driver contact and pickup details. Corporate accounts book on behalf of multiple travellers from a single dashboard with centralized billing. For hotel concierge bookings and wedding planner bookings, ask about our partner programs with volume discounts. See our corporate transportation page for account setup.

What areas in the GTA can I reserve airport transportation from?

Reservations are accepted from any address in the Greater Toronto Area, Golden Horseshoe, and southern Ontario. Primary pickup zones include downtown Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton. Extended service zones include Barrie, Brantford, Kitchener-Waterloo, Niagara Falls, Kingston, and Ottawa. Service to smaller communities across Simcoe County, Dufferin County, Halton Region, Peel Region, York Region, Durham Region, and Niagara Region is available on a custom-quote basis. See our areas we serve page for a complete list with confirmed flat rates to Pearson and Billy Bishop.

Your confirmed flat rate is waiting on the other side of one call.

60 seconds to a written reservation. Email confirmation in 15 minutes. Live driver location 30 minutes before pickup. No deposit. No surge. No surprises.
