The flight is early
We see the earlier time and move the car up, so it is waiting on the mainland at the foot of Bathurst Street rather than you waiting for it.

Billy Bishop Airport Limo
Does Billy Bishop Airport have a shuttle?
Yes. A free shuttle bus runs between the airport's mainland terminal and the Fairmont Royal York beside Union Station, and it is the right answer if you are travelling light and staying near Union. A limo is for everything else: a family with luggage, a hotel that is not downtown, a meeting straight off the plane, or a pickup at an hour when you would rather not wait. The car waits on the mainland side at the foot of Bathurst Street, the price is fixed before you ride, and your flight is tracked at no charge.

What you get
Island airport limo service, with the short walk taken care of.
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport sits on the Toronto Islands, a few hundred metres off the downtown shore. Porter Airlines flies most of its schedule from there, and the terminal is small enough that you are through it in minutes. The only thing between you and the mainland is the pedestrian tunnel or the short ferry ride.
Cars cannot cross to the island, so every limo pickup and drop-off happens on the mainland side at the foot of Bathurst Street. Your chauffeur is there before your flight lands, watches the arrival time, and meets you as you come out of the tunnel or off the ferry. On a departure we drop you at the same spot, and the tunnel takes you straight into the terminal.
Because the airport is downtown, many Billy Bishop trips are short. They are priced as a fixed number quoted before you ride, tolls included, and the number does not change with traffic or a late plane. A corporate account puts the runs on one monthly invoice for teams that use Porter for Ottawa, Montreal and New York.
- Mainland pickup at the foot of Bathurst Street. The chauffeur meets you at the tunnel exit or the ferry dock.
- Fixed price, tolls included. Quoted before you ride, whatever the traffic does.
- Flight tracked free. Porter, Air Canada and every other arrival.
- Live dispatch, 24 hours a day. Early flights out and late flights in are both covered.
Flight tracking
Island airport pickup timed to your flight.
Give us the airline and flight number and we watch the arrival into Billy Bishop. Tracking is free on every booking here. Three situations come up often enough to spell out.
The flight is late
A late arrival simply shifts your pickup later. The chauffeur holds the slot at the mainland pickup point, and the quoted price does not change because of it.
The flight is cancelled
Phone 647-361-8237 or answer your booking email with the new flight and the booking follows you onto it. Dispatch is staffed overnight, so a 2am cancellation is dealt with at 2am.
Do not skip the flight number. Billy Bishop arrivals are short-haul and often move, and that number is the only thing that lets the mainland pickup move with them. If you do not have it at booking, send it to info@
Getting to the car
Tunnel, ferry, shuttle or limo: how you leave Billy Bishop.
-
The pedestrian tunnel
The tunnel runs under the channel from the terminal to the mainland at Eireann Quay, with moving walkways and elevators at both ends. Most passengers use it. Your chauffeur waits at the mainland exit.
Mainland exit · Eireann Quay -
The ferry
The airport ferry makes the same crossing in about two minutes and runs all day. If you take it, the car is a few steps from the dock on the mainland side.
-
The free shuttle
The airport's shuttle bus to the Fairmont Royal York near Union Station is free and runs through the day. It is the cheapest way downtown if you have no bags to speak of and your hotel is near Union.
-
Your limo
Booked ahead, tracked to your flight, and waiting at the foot of Bathurst Street with the trunk open. It goes where you are going, at the time you land, for a number you agreed in advance.
Not sure which to use? Tell us the flight and the address and dispatch will say honestly whether the shuttle covers you. Call 647-361-8237 at any hour.

How the Billy Bishop limo price works.
Every Billy Bishop trip is quoted as one fixed number before you ride, in Canadian dollars, with tolls inside it. Give us the pickup address and the flight, and dispatch sends the price in a minute by phone or email. It does not move with traffic, the time of day, or a delayed plane. Our published Pearson table below shows how we price by town; Billy Bishop runs are quoted the same way, and downtown pickups to the island airport are among the shortest trips we drive.
| City | Luxury Sedan | Luxury SUV | Sprinter Van | Stretch Limo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Toronto to Pearson | $81 | $105 | $451 | $565 |
| Etobicoke to Pearson | $71 | $100 | $404 | $565 |
| Mississauga to Pearson | $71 | $105 | $468 | $565 |
| Markham to Pearson | $90 | $128 | $561 | $713 |

FAQ
Questions people ask about Billy Bishop limos
Tipping is your choice and our chauffeurs never expect it. Gratuity is not built into the price. If you want to tip, 10% to 15% of the fare is the usual range in Toronto, by card or in cash.
For a Billy Bishop trip it depends on the bags and the destination. Travelling light to a hotel near Union Station, the free shuttle wins. With luggage, children, an early meeting, or an address anywhere else in the city, a booked car that is waiting when you land is worth it, and the price is fixed so there is nothing to wonder about.
Sometimes, at quiet hours. At the times Porter's flights bunch up, surge pricing can take a rideshare past a taxi fare, and neither one tracks your flight. A booked limo is a fixed number agreed before you land.
