What does a car service to Pearson cost from Markham — and does the 407 toll add to it?
Answered by the Toronto Airport Limo team · Last reviewed July 6, 2026
A flat-rate car service from Markham to Toronto Pearson (YYZ) typically costs about $115–$180 all-in for an executive sedan — gratuity, surcharges and 13% HST included — with a Full-Size or Luxury SUV running roughly 30–60% higher. Markham sits about 40–55 km from Pearson (a 35–55 minute drive), and the exact figure depends on your neighbourhood and vehicle. Crucially, a true flat rate is locked at booking: the Highway 407 ETR toll is already included in the quote, so it never appears as a surprise line item and traffic can't inflate your fare.
How much does a car service from Markham to Pearson cost?
Expect roughly $115–$180 all-in for an executive sedan one-way between Markham and Toronto Pearson (YYZ). That number is a flat quote — gratuity, surcharges and 13% HST are already inside it, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Your exact fare depends mostly on two things: which part of Markham you're in, and which vehicle you choose. Central Markham (Unionville, Markham Centre) sits closer to the airport; Cornell and Markham Village to the east add a few kilometres and nudge the fare up.
Because it's a flat rate and not a meter, the fare is the same whether your driver hits an open 407 at 5 a.m. or crawling 401 traffic at rush hour.
- Executive/Premium Sedan (up to 3 passengers): ~$115–$180 all-in
- Full-Size or Luxury SUV (up to 6): roughly 30–60% above the sedan
- Mercedes Sprinter van (up to 11): higher again — best for groups or lots of luggage
- Airport pickups (arrivals) add a small airport fee + meet & greet; departures don't

Does the Highway 407 toll add to your fare?
No — with a genuine flat-rate car service, the 407 ETR toll is already included in your quote. It is not billed back to you afterward and never shows up as a separate line item. This is the single biggest difference between a chauffeured flat rate and a metered taxi or a rideshare, where tolls (and surge pricing) can be passed straight through to you.
The Highway 407 ETR is the fastest corridor from most of Markham to Pearson because it bypasses the chronically congested 401. From central Markham the typical route is 407 westbound to the 427, then south to the airport — a clean run when the 401 is jammed.
If you'd rather avoid the toll road entirely, just say so when you book. A flat quote can be locked on either routing; the price is set upfront regardless, so choosing the 407 doesn't cost you extra and choosing the free route doesn't save you money on the fare itself. The toll simply stops being your problem.
- 407 toll: included in the flat quote — never a surprise add-on
- Metered taxi / rideshare: tolls and surge can be added on top
- Prefer to skip the 407? Ask at booking — the flat rate holds either way
- Flat rate is locked at booking, so traffic and route never change the price
How far is Markham from Pearson, and how long is the drive?
Markham is about 40–55 km from Toronto Pearson, and the drive typically takes 35–55 minutes depending on your neighbourhood, the time of day, and the route.
In light traffic — early mornings, late evenings — central Markham to YYZ via the 407 and 427 can be as quick as 33–40 minutes. During weekday rush hours (roughly 6:30–9:30 a.m. and 3:30–6:30 p.m.), give it closer to 50–55 minutes, especially if any leg touches the 401 or 404.
For flights, we build in buffer and track your inbound flight live, so your chauffeur adjusts to actual arrival time rather than the scheduled one.
- Central Markham (Unionville, Markham Centre): ~44 km, ~35–45 min
- East Markham (Cornell, Markham Village): ~50–55 km, ~45–55 min
- Fastest routing: Highway 407 ETR west → 427 south → Pearson
- Rush-hour windows: ~6:30–9:30 a.m. and ~3:30–6:30 p.m.
Why choose a flat-rate limo over a Markham taxi or rideshare?
A flat-rate chauffeured car gives you a fixed, all-in price with no meter, no surge and no toll surprises — booked in advance so there's no scrambling for a ride on airport morning. For a 40–55 km trip that can touch the 407, that certainty is worth more than it looks.
On arrivals, your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal (meet & greet) and monitors your flight live, so a delayed or early landing is handled without extra charges or a frantic phone call.
It's the same premium service whether you're heading out for a 6 a.m. business flight or bringing the family home from vacation — professional driver, clean late-model vehicle, and a price you agreed to before you left the house.
- Flat, all-in quote — no meter, no surge, no toll pass-through
- Live flight tracking + meet & greet inside arrivals
- Book ahead: no waiting or ride-hailing at 5 a.m.
- 24/7 service across Markham and the entire GTA

Related questions
Is the 407 toll really included, or will I get charged for it later?
It's genuinely included. A flat-rate quote is locked at booking and covers the toll, so there is no after-the-fact 407 ETR charge and no separate line item. This differs from a metered taxi or rideshare, where tolls are typically passed through to you.
Can I ask the driver to avoid the 407 and take a free route?
Yes. Just note it when you book. The flat rate is set upfront and holds whether your chauffeur takes the 407 or a toll-free route via the 404/401 — so avoiding the toll road doesn't change your price, and taking it doesn't add to it.
How much does a Markham to Pearson trip cost for a group or with lots of luggage?
A Full-Size SUV (Chevrolet Suburban) or Luxury SUV (Cadillac Escalade) for up to 6 runs roughly 30–60% above the sedan band, and a Mercedes Sprinter van for up to 11 is higher again. Get an exact upfront quote for your group size and luggage.
Does an airport pickup cost more than a drop-off?
Slightly. Arrivals (pickups) include a small airport fee plus meet & greet inside the terminal, so they run a touch higher than departures (drop-offs), which don't carry those. Both are quoted flat and all-in.
