Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Toronto Pearson, Toronto.
Toronto Pearson is the airport most of our work in the region runs through. It has two commercial passenger terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, and the thing worth knowing about that pair is that they are not split by destination: each of them handles international, domestic and cargo services. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority operates the site.
That matters more than it sounds when you are booking a car. Which building you walk out of is decided by your airline rather than by where you have flown from, so the terminal printed on your boarding pass is the one your chauffeur works from. It is the single detail worth checking the night before, and the one thing dispatch will ask about if it is missing.
Meet & Greet
Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb with a name sign. Meeting inside the terminal is available on request, at an extra charge.
60 minutes of waiting
Complimentary on every airport pickup, measured from when your aircraft lands.
Flight number on file
Our dispatch team checks your flight's arrival time and adjusts your pickup.
Door-to-door
Direct to your destination, with no stops you did not ask for.
How pickup works at Toronto Pearson
Pickups at Pearson are meet and greet. Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb holding a name sign and takes the luggage. Meeting inside the terminal is available on request, at an extra charge. There is no hunting for a plate number and nothing to arrange once you have landed.
Add your flight number at the pickup-details step and our dispatch team checks your flight's arrival time and adjusts your pickup. The field is optional and the booking goes through without it, but filling it in is what lets an early or delayed arrival be absorbed quietly instead of turning into a phone call from the baggage hall.
Every airport pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting, measured from the moment your aircraft lands rather than from the time you entered when booking. At a terminal this size, customs and baggage are rarely quick, and the clock should not be running while you are still in a queue.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.
Where your chauffeur meets you at Pearson
- Terminal 1 or Terminal 3
- Pearson has two passenger terminals, and your airline decides which one you walk out of. Put the flight number on the booking and dispatch works out the terminal before the day.
- At the arrivals curb, included
- Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb of your terminal, holding a sign with your name, and takes the luggage. The curbside meeting is included in the fare.
- Inside the terminal, on request
- To be met indoors instead, tick "Meet me inside the terminal (extra charge)" when you search. The charge is shown as its own line before you pay.
- How the free waiting is counted
- Every airport pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting, counted from the moment the aircraft lands, not from the time you booked (clause 4.1 of our Terms).
- Held up in customs
- The 60 minutes run from landing, so an ordinary wait at customs and the baggage belt is covered. If you will be longer, call dispatch on +1 (888) 627-5313, answered 24 hours a day. Waiting beyond the 60 minutes is billed by the minute, as clause 4.2 of our Terms sets out.

Questions about Toronto Pearson
Which terminal should I put on the booking?
The one on your boarding pass. Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 at Pearson both handle international and domestic flights, so the terminal is set by your airline rather than by where you are flying in from. If you are not certain, give us the flight number and dispatch will work it out before the day.
How long will the chauffeur wait if customs takes a while?
Sixty minutes are included on every airport pickup, and that hour is counted from when your aircraft lands, not from the time you booked. The rate that applies after it is published in clause 4 of our Terms, so there is no surprise in it.
Can I book a Pearson pickup without giving a flight number?
Yes. The field is optional. Without it we work to the pickup time you set; with it, dispatch can see the real arrival time and move the car for you rather than waiting to hear from you.
Is a pickup here bookable online?
Yes. Trips starting or ending in Ontario can be booked online, so you will see a fixed fare in Canadian dollars and can pay for it before you travel.
