Toronto Airport Pick Up

Can you enter Pearson Airport to pick someone up?

Yes. Both terminals have an arrivals curb where a private car can stop for a moment, a free cell phone waiting area for up to 45 minutes, and an Express Pass that gives 20 free minutes in the terminal garage. What you cannot do is wait at the curb. A booked pickup skips all of it: our chauffeur waits at the pre-arranged post, your flight is tracked, and the price is fixed before the plane lands. Call 647-361-8237 at any hour.

What you get

How do I pick up a friend from the airport?

Check the flight number for the real landing time, go to the arrivals level of the right terminal, and either stop briefly at the curb once they are outside, wait in the free cell phone lot for up to 45 minutes, or take an Express Pass for 20 free minutes in the garage. Add half an hour for customs on an international flight. That is the do-it-yourself version.

The booked version: give us their name, the airline and the flight number, and the address they are going to. We track the flight, the chauffeur waits at the pre-arranged post at Door A or Door 11 with their name, loads the bags, and drives them home. You get the confirmation, and they get met. Parents, clients and children flying alone are the usual reasons.

Up to an hour of waiting after landing is inside every airport pickup, so customs and the carousel cost nothing extra. The price is fixed before the plane lands, tolls included, and the same at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m. Book the drop-off for the return at the same time and the total is 5% lower.

  • Flight tracked free. Early, late or delayed, the car moves with the plane.
  • An hour of waiting included. Customs and baggage are already allowed for.
  • Name board on request. Add meet and greet and the chauffeur waits inside.
  • Pickup for someone else. Book it in your name, we meet them in theirs.

Flight tracking

Pickup timing that follows the flight, not the booking.

Your flight number is the part that matters. Hand it over at booking and we follow the aircraft in, at no charge, on every arrival. Here is how the three awkward cases play out.

The flight is early

The car is moved up to match the new landing time. You walk out to a chauffeur who is already there, instead of waiting while a driver leaves the cell phone lot.

The flight is late

Nothing is required from you. The pickup time follows the aircraft, the chauffeur waits, and the fixed price holds however long the hold-up runs.

The flight is cancelled

Reach dispatch on 647-361-8237, or reply to the booking email naming the replacement flight. The booking moves to it, whatever hour of the night that happens.

One detail changes everything here. Give us the flight number and the pickup follows the aircraft in. Leave it out and we are guessing from the time on the booking. You can always add it afterwards by emailing info@torontoairportlimousineservice.ca.

Where the pickup happens

Where the car meets the flight at each airport.

  1. Pearson Terminal 1: Door A

    Arrivals level. Collect the bags, walk to Door A, and give your name at the Commissionaire's pre-arranged post. Rideshare pickups use separate ground-level zones outside doors P to S; booked limos do not. Terminal detail is on the Pearson airport limo page.

    Arrivals · Door A
  2. Pearson Terminal 3: Door 11

    Arrivals level, Door 11, same pre-arranged post. Rideshare pickups are out at Zone 3 on the second outer curb, which is why a booked car is the shorter walk.

  3. Billy Bishop

    Cars cannot cross to the island, so the pickup is on the mainland at the foot of Bathurst Street, at the tunnel exit or the ferry dock. Full detail on the Billy Bishop page.

  4. Hamilton and Buffalo

    Hamilton pickups meet at arrivals with the same free tracking. Buffalo pickups cross the border with a chauffeur who knows the crossing, and the meeting point is confirmed when you book. See the Buffalo page.

Flying in on an international flight? Customs takes longer, and the hour of waiting is already in the price. Every pickup town is on the locations page.

Luggage

Which car to send for the pickup.

A bag means a full-size suitcase, the kind that comes off the belt. Anything you carried onto the aircraft rides in the cabin with you and does not count. Sports gear and a pushchair each take a suitcase of room. Groups landing right on the limit should book the next size up, which still costs less than a second car meeting you.

FAQ

Questions people ask about airport pickups

Not for parking as such. Pearson's cell phone waiting area is free for up to 45 minutes if you stay with the car, and an Express Pass gives 20 free minutes in the Terminal 1 and 3 garages for a pickup or drop-off. Everything longer is paid, and waiting at the arrivals curb is not allowed.

At Terminal 1, rideshare pickups use ground-level zones outside doors P, Q, R and S. At Terminal 3 they use Zone 3 on the second outer curb of the arrivals level. Booked limos do not use those zones; they wait at the Commissionaire's pre-arranged post at Door A and Door 11.

Up to an hour is included in every airport pickup, counted from the actual landing time we track. Customs and the baggage carousel fit inside that on almost every flight.

We see the new landing time and bring the pickup forward, at no charge and with no call for you to make.
