What you get
What licensing and insurance rules govern Toronto airport limos?
Quick summary: Toronto airport limos fall under the City of Toronto Vehicle-for-Hire Bylaw. The bylaw requires driver background checks and vehicle inspections. At Pearson, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) adds its own commercial permit rules. Airport Limo Toronto chauffeurs are licensed and vetted, and every car is licensed for hire and commercially insured.
- Driver: the City bylaw requires a background check on vehicle-for-hire drivers.
- Vehicle: the City bylaw requires vehicle inspections, so the car itself gets checked.
- Airport: the GTAA requires specific commercial permits, and pickups at Pearson Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 use designated pickup posts.
Each rule covers a different part of the trip, so you want all three.
These rules apply to our Pearson airport limo service from Toronto and to our Billy Bishop airport limo service for flights out of YTZ.
How it works
Are your drivers and vehicles fully licensed under the City of Toronto Vehicle-for-Hire Bylaw?
Quick summary: Yes. Every Airport Limo Toronto chauffeur is licensed and vetted, every car is licensed for hire, and the business holds livery licences. That covers all four of our vehicle types: luxury sedan, luxury SUV, Sprinter van and stretch limousine.
Licensed and vetted are not the same thing. Our chauffeurs hold their licence, and then we vet them ourselves.
"Licensed for hire" is about the car, not the person. It means the vehicle itself is registered to carry paying riders.
A livery licence is what separates a hired limo from a private car with a dark paint job. Without one, the ride is an unlicensed sale, however good the car looks. The same is true for a pickup at Union Station, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre or at a house in North York.
Price
What level of commercial liability insurance is carried on your airport limousines?
Quick summary: Every Airport Limo Toronto car, in all four vehicle types, carries commercial insurance. Commercial insurance is cover written for vehicles that carry paying passengers. We do not list our policy limits on this page.
A personal car policy is built for private driving. If you take a paid ride in a privately insured car, you can end up with weaker cover. Picture freezing rain on Highway 427 during a winter run to Pearson. On that road, you want the car insured for carrying you for pay.
Vehicles
How can I verify if an airport limo service is licensed by the City of Toronto and Pearson Airport?
Quick summary: To verify an airport limo, ask for its City of Toronto vehicle-for-hire licence and the chauffeur's driver licence. Ask whether it holds the GTAA commercial permit for Pearson pickups. Then compare its quote with the usual flat-rate zone tariffs for airport transfers. A price far below those rates is a warning sign.
Run these checks on any company before you book. That includes us.
- Ask for the company's City of Toronto vehicle-for-hire licence.
- Ask the chauffeur to show a vehicle-for-hire driver licence.
- Ask whether the company holds a GTAA commercial permit for pickups at Pearson Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.
- Check the quote against the usual flat-rate zone tariffs.
- Ask whether the car is commercially insured.
Call +1 647-361-8237 at any hour for your flat rate, and ask about the car and chauffeur for your trip.
Timing
Is my rate guaranteed as a fixed flat rate, or are there hidden fees for traffic delays?
Quick summary: Your Airport Limo Toronto rate is a flat rate set by your pickup area and vehicle type. You get it when you book, and where you start sets the price. For example, a luxury sedan costs $85 from the Toronto Metro Area and $75 from Mississauga.
| Pickup area | Luxury sedan | Luxury SUV | Sprinter van | Stretch limo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Airport Hotel Area | $75 | $95 | $450 | $550 |
| Etobicoke | $75 | $110 | $550 | $650 |
| Mississauga | $75 | $110 | $550 | $775 |
| Toronto Metro Area | $85 | $125 | $550 | $695 |
Our full rate table covers 112 Ontario towns, so use the row for your own pickup city.
Booking takes four steps:
- Give us your pickup details and flight number.
- Pick a vehicle type.
- Get your flat rate.
- Confirm the booking.
We take credit cards, debit cards and mobile tap payments. The same flat rate setup applies to our airport transfer service, one way or return.
Who should skip us? A solo traveller near Union Station who wants the lowest fare may want to compare the UP Express train. It runs from Union Station to Pearson. A private limo is rarely the budget pick for one person.
Booking
What guarantees do you offer for on-time arrival for early morning airport departures?
Quick summary: Airport Limo Toronto gives an Always On Time guarantee, and our phone line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You book an early morning pickup for a Pearson departure the same way as a midday one.
Tell us your flight time and terminal when you book. In our view, the pickup time you choose is the part of the trip you control most.
Highway 401 and Highway 427 back up at rush hour. The Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) slow down too. Leave room for that when you pick your time.
Flying in instead? We have a meet and greet service for arrivals.
Good to know
Vehicle warranties and the cars we use
Quick summary: Every Airport Limo Toronto car is under warranty. That covers all four vehicle types: luxury sedan, luxury SUV, Sprinter van and stretch limousine.
A warranty is a promise to fix certain parts if they break within a set time. That matters most on long runs, like a Sprinter van group trip to Pearson or a Niagara Falls day trip.

Years in business and reviews
Quick summary: Airport Limo Toronto has been in business for more than 15 years and holds a 4.4 rating from 8 Google reviews. The business is women-owned and based at 19 Grand Trunk Crescent Unit 3705, Toronto, ON M5J 3A3.
Eight reviews is a small sample, and it tells you less than the licences and insurance above. That is why we put those first.
We serve the Greater Toronto Area plus Pearson, Billy Bishop, Hamilton and Buffalo airports. Away from the airport, we run a chauffeur service by the hour and an airport shuttle service for hotel and group trips.

How it works
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum commercial insurance required for a Toronto airport limo?
We do not quote a minimum figure on this page. Every Airport Limo Toronto car is commercially insured. Ask any limo company to confirm its commercial insurance before you book.
Do Toronto airport limousines have to charge set flat rates?
Airport transfers to and from the Greater Toronto Area follow established GTAA and municipal flat-rate zone tariffs. Airport Limo Toronto quotes a flat rate by pickup area, such as $85 for a luxury sedan from the Toronto Metro Area.
How can I verify if an airport limo service is licensed by the City of Toronto and Pearson Airport?
Ask the company for its City of Toronto vehicle-for-hire licence, and ask the chauffeur for a vehicle-for-hire driver licence. Ask whether the company holds a GTAA commercial permit for Pearson pickups too. Then check that the quote is not far below the usual flat-rate zone tariffs.
Do your airport limos offer child safety car seats upon request?
Yes, Airport Limo Toronto runs child seat equipped transfers. Ask for the seat when you book so it is in the car at pickup.
