How much does an extra stop cost on an airport limo?

Two components: the flat fee and the detour's kilometres

When you add a stop — collecting a travel companion, dropping keys with a relative, grabbing documents from the office — the quote changes in two distinct ways. First, a per-stop fee that depends on the vehicle: $15 on the Sedan, $20 on the SUV, $25 on the Premium SUV, $30 on the Premium Sedan and $40 on the Sprinter and Stretch (your quote shows the exact figure). Second, the route itself is re-measured: pickup to stop to destination is longer than pickup to destination, and those added kilometres flow through the same per-kilometre pricing as the rest of the trip.

Both pieces land inside the all-in quote before you book. There's no on-the-day arithmetic, no meter running at the stop, and no separate line item settling later — the figure /ride/ shows for the multi-stop trip is the figure charged. Stops work in both directions — on the way to the airport or after a pickup from it — and the fee is the same either way.

The percentages explain one number that surprises people: the surcharges that apply to the whole fare — 15% gratuity, 13% HST, the 2% card fee — apply to the stop fee too. That's how $15 becomes $19.88 on a sedan's final bill: 15 × 1.15 × 1.13 × 1.02, to the penny.

A worked example, to the penny

Take a Mississauga-to-Pearson drop-off, normally $112.67 all-in — a minimum-fare route. Add a stop at a relative's place that lengthens the routing from about 18 km to about 30 km. Both distances sit inside the roughly 43 km the sedan's minimum fare already covers, so the kilometre side of the equation adds nothing: the route is repriced, and the reprice comes back at the same floor.

What changes is the flat fee: $15, which with gratuity, HST and the card fee becomes $19.88. New total: $132.55 all-in. That's the entire cost of the detour — $19.88, precisely, because the minimum fare absorbed the distance.

The identical logic runs on pickups: a $132.91 minimum-fare airport pickup with one added stop inside the floor radius becomes $152.79. Same $19.88 delta, same reason.

• Base drop-off: $112.67 → with one stop inside the floor: $132.55
• Base pickup: $132.91 → with one stop inside the floor: $152.79
• The delta both times: $19.88 — the $15 fee with surcharges stacked
• Why: the sedan minimum already covers routing up to ~43 km

When the detour itself starts costing

Once total routing passes the minimum-fare radius, added kilometres price like any other kilometres. You can see the scale of that in the engine's own fares: a Pearson pickup routed about 30 km (Thornhill) quotes $132.91, while one routed about 55 km (Aurora) quotes $165.79 — $32.88 for roughly 25 further kilometres, all-in. A detour that adds distance beyond the floor moves your fare along exactly that curve.

Practical consequence: a stop broadly on the way — the companion three streets off your route, the office between home and the 427 — costs little or nothing beyond the fee. A stop that doubles back across the city is really a second trip wearing one booking's clothes, and the quote will say so honestly.

If you're weighing a big detour, price both shapes at /ride/: one multi-stop trip versus two separate rides. The engine's answer varies by geography, and thirty seconds of quoting beats any rule of thumb.

Booking a stop so the quote and the schedule hold

Add the stop when you book — address included — so the fee, the routing and the timing are all in the quote and the chauffeur's plan. On airport runs the timing half matters as much as the money half: a stop adds minutes, and departure-day minutes are the expensive kind, so the pickup time gets set with the detour already counted. One habit worth copying from frequent bookers: give the stop's full address rather than 'we'll direct the driver' — the quote can only price what it can route.

Stops are priced as brief calls — load, drop, collect, continue. The quote doesn't meter waiting time, so a stop that's really a forty-minute errand belongs in a different booking shape; for days built of several long calls, hourly service (three-hour online minimum) is the honest format, covered on the hourly chauffeur or one-way transfer page.

For multi-address group pickups — several homes feeding one flight — the same per-stop logic applies per address, and the can one vehicle pick up my group from multiple addresses page walks that whole choreography.
