Where do limos pick up at Pearson Terminal 3?

The standard Terminal 3 pickup: arrivals level, arranged by text

The default pickup at Terminal 3 works like a well-run rendezvous rather than a scavenger hunt. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, positions near the terminal as you land, and texts you exact meeting instructions for the arrivals level — the level you exit onto after collecting your bags. The precise curb position varies with airport traffic management and the hour, which is exactly why the instructions come by SMS after touchdown instead of a guess made days earlier.

By the time you're through the doors, you know where to walk. The chauffeur loads the luggage and you're moving — no app to refresh, no license plate roulette, no queue.

If your phone is dead or roaming isn't cooperating, call (416) 200-5070 — or toll-free 1-877-200-5070 — and dispatch bridges the gap immediately.

Meet & greet inside Terminal 3 arrivals (+$65)

For $65 on top of the flat fare, meet & greet puts your chauffeur inside the Terminal 3 arrivals hall before you're through customs, holding a sign with your name on it. You walk out of the secure exit, scan the waiting crowd once, and you're found.

It's the right call when the arrival itself is the stressful part: a family off a long sun-destination flight with tired kids and a mountain of bags, parents or grandparents travelling alone, a client or executive you're hosting who shouldn't be squinting at their phone at the curb. The chauffeur takes the trolley and walks everyone straight to the vehicle.

You add it during booking at /ride/ — it's an option alongside your quote — or ask for it when booking by phone. It applies to airport pickups only; on a departure there's nothing to greet, since the chauffeur comes to your own front door.

From a Terminal 3 gate to the car, step by step

Terminal 3 is the non-Star Alliance side of Pearson: WestJet, Delta, American, Air Transat, British Airways and most other US, sun and international carriers arrive here. Off an international flight the path runs deplane, immigration, baggage claim, customs, then out into the public arrivals area; domestic arrivals reach the same public space with fewer steps.

That public arrivals area is where everything converges. Meet & greet passengers find their name sign there. Standard-pickup passengers check the chauffeur's text there and step out to the arrivals level to meet the car.

Because the booking includes your flight number, the chauffeur already knows whether you're clearing customs or walking straight off a domestic flight, and times the approach accordingly. You don't manage any of it.

• Terminal 3 carriers: WestJet, Delta, American, Air Transat, British Airways and most other non-Star Alliance airlines
• International arrivals: immigration → bags → customs → arrivals hall
• Meet & greet waits in the arrivals hall; standard pickups meet at the arrivals level

Timing, tracking and the messages that run it

Every airport pickup is booked with a flight number and the arrival is tracked from that moment. The pickup time follows the actual landing — a three-hour delay or an early tailwind both re-time the car automatically, with no phone calls required from you and no change to the flat quoted fare.

Around the ride itself, the logistics are handled in writing: an SMS confirmation when you book, an emailed self-serve link to view or edit the booking up to 12 hours before pickup, an SMS reminder about four hours out, and the chauffeur's meeting text once you're on the ground.

If your plans change more substantially — a missed connection, a rebooked flight — update the flight number through the self-serve link if you're outside the 12-hour window, or call and it's fixed by phone.

Terminal 3 pickup fares, and one honest pricing note

Pickups from Terminal 3 are quoted flat and all-in — base fare, gratuity, fuel where applicable, HST, card fee, and the $15.27 airport pickup fee that applies to every airport pickup are all inside the single number you see at /ride/. Terminal 3 and Terminal 1 price identically: the fare is set by your destination, not by which building you land in.

Reference points for a sedan: from $134.81 all-in to downtown Toronto, from $132.91 to Mississauga or North York, from $186.12 to Hamilton and from $256.72 to Barrie. An SUV seating up to six starts around $194.01 on the close-in routes.

One honest note: several nearby destinations share the same starting fare because short trips are governed by per-vehicle minimum fares — a 16 km run and a 39 km run can both sit at the minimum. Your instant quote shows the exact total for your address, and if your landing is less than three hours away, call instead and it's arranged by phone.
