What you get

Do you charge by the hour or a flat rate for a shopping day trip?

Quick summary: Airport Limo Toronto books shopping days as hourly chauffeur service or as a day rate chauffeur. We quote each trip by phone at +1 647-361-8237. The flat rates on our website are airport transfer prices for 112 Ontario towns. They are not shopping day prices.

Multi-stop chauffeur hire is a third option. We do not publish a shopping price, because the hours and stops change every time. Your quote depends on these things:

  • The vehicle type you pick
  • How many hours you need the car
  • How many stops are on the list
  • The town where we pick you up
  • Whether the route uses Highway 407 ETR, which is a toll road (you choose)

Rush hour on Highway 401 adds time to an hourly booking. We plan pickup times around it.

If your group is not sure when it will be done, ask for a day rate quote too.

You can pay by credit card, debit card or mobile tap.

How it works

Can you drive our group to Toronto Premium Outlets or Vaughan Mills and wait while we shop?

Quick summary: Yes. An Airport Limo Toronto chauffeur drives your group to Toronto Premium Outlets in Halton Hills or Vaughan Mills at Highway 400 and Rutherford Road. The chauffeur waits while you shop, then drives you home. Book it as an hourly or day rate chauffeur trip.

We reach Toronto Premium Outlets by Highway 401 west and Vaughan Mills by Highway 400 north. Highway 407 ETR is a toll option on either trip.

Pick one mall entrance as the meeting spot, then call the chauffeur when the group is ready.

Tour buses run from Union Station on a fixed schedule. A private chauffeur leaves from your door when you want and waits for the last shopper.

Price

What vehicle sizes do you have for small and large groups?

Quick summary: Airport Limo Toronto has four vehicle types for shopping trips: a luxury sedan, a luxury SUV, a Sprinter van and a stretch limousine. Small groups usually fit a sedan or SUV. Larger groups with lots of bags need the Sprinter van.

Luxury sedanA small group with a short shopping list
Luxury SUVA small group with more bags, or visitors with suitcases
Sprinter vanLarger groups and big outlet hauls
Stretch limousineA birthday or celebration shopping day

Families who shop with small children can book a child seat equipped transfer.

From roughly December to March, snow and ice slow Toronto roads, so our drivers leave extra time for outlet runs to the suburbs.

Size up if you are unsure, because the bags coming home can take more room than the people did going out.

Vehicles

Can you plan a multi-stop day, like Yorkdale and then the Eaton Centre?

Quick summary: Yes. Airport Limo Toronto runs multi-stop chauffeur hire, so one booking can cover Yorkdale Shopping Centre at Highway 401 and Allen Road, then CF Toronto Eaton Centre at Yonge and Dundas. Your bags stay in the car between stops.

These stop pairings fit well in one day:

  • Yorkdale, then the Eaton Centre
  • Bloor-Yorkville, then the Eaton Centre
  • Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke, then Square One in Mississauga

Tell us the stop order when you book, so the route does not double back on the 401.

Parking is hard to find downtown, at Yorkville and at Yonge and Dundas. The chauffeur drops you at the door and comes back when you call. For a day with more than shopping on it, see our full chauffeur service list.

Tell us your stops and group size, and we will quote your shopping day by phone at +1 647-361-8237.

Timing

Can you pick us up from home, a hotel or Pearson Airport?

Quick summary: Yes. Airport Limo Toronto picks up shopping groups at homes and hotels across the Greater Toronto Area. We also pick up at Toronto Pearson International Airport with meet and greet. Visitors can land, go straight to Sherway Gardens or Square One, then go on to their hotel.

We pick up from homes in Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill and Oakville. Downtown Toronto and Yorkville hotels are on the list too.

Our airport shuttle service covers airport hotel runs. Flying into the downtown island airport? Our Billy Bishop airport limo service picks up there. We also run a Hamilton airport limo service.

Right after you land, suitcases and new bags share one trunk, so book the SUV or the Sprinter van, not the sedan.

Booking

Do you offer trips to the Outlet Collection at Niagara or across the US border?

Quick summary: Airport Limo Toronto drives to the Outlet Collection at Niagara in Niagara-on-the-Lake on the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way). You can pair it with our Niagara Falls tour service. That trip stays in Ontario. A US shopping trip needs valid travel documents for every passenger, so ask about it when you book.

A US shopping day crosses the border at Niagara, so every passenger needs valid travel documents. We already drive to Buffalo for our Buffalo airport limo service.

Good to know

What is the cheapest way to get around Toronto?

Quick summary: The cheapest way to get around Toronto is the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) subway and buses, plus GO Transit for trips to the suburbs. A private chauffeur costs more. It makes sense for a group with lots of bags, or for an outlet that transit reaches poorly.

  • TTC subway Line 1 Yonge-University runs to the downtown malls.
  • GO Transit, the regional train and bus network, runs to the suburbs.
  • UP Express runs between Union Station and Pearson Airport.

Book us instead for a group of four or more, a family with strollers, or a trip to Halton Hills or Niagara.

Shopping alone downtown with a few bags? TTC Line 1 Yonge-University may be all you need. We would rather tell you that than sell you a car you do not need.

How it works

Frequently asked questions

How much trunk space is there for shopping bags?

Trunk space depends on the vehicle: the Sprinter van holds the most bags, then the luxury SUV, then the luxury sedan.

How far ahead should we book for Black Friday or Boxing Day?

Book as early as you can for Black Friday and Boxing Day (December 26). Those days and the December holidays are the busiest weeks for malls and outlets, and bookings fill early.

What is the best street in Toronto for shopping?

It depends on what you want to buy. The Bloor-Yorkville shopping district suits luxury shoppers. Yonge Street at Dundas has the CF Toronto Eaton Centre, with many stores under one roof.

Which is the best one day trip?

For shoppers, the best one day trip from Toronto is the Outlet Collection at Niagara with a stop at Niagara Falls, both reached on the QEW. We run that trip as part of our Niagara Falls tour service.
