Payment, tipping & extras
Can I pay for my airport limo by credit card and book online in advance?
Answered by the Toronto Airport Limo team · Last reviewed July 6, 2026
Yes. With Toronto Airport Limo you book online in advance, receive a flat all-in quote, and pay securely by credit card — Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Your card is held on file, so no cash is ever required, which makes an arrivals pickup completely cashless after your flight. Booking online needs about 3 hours of lead time before pickup; inside that window, just call (416) 200-5070 to book by phone.
Yes — you book online and pay by credit card, no cash needed
Yes. Every reservation is made online with a flat, upfront quote and paid by credit card — there is no meter, no surge, and no cash ever changes hands with your chauffeur.
When you book, you enter your card and it is held securely on file against your confirmed quote. That means the price you see is the price you pay, and your driver never has to run a card or make change at the curb. For an arrivals pickup, you simply walk out of the terminal, meet your chauffeur, and go — the fare is already settled.
This is the whole point of paying by card in advance: after a long flight, the last thing you want is to be counting cash or negotiating a fare. A card on file removes that entirely.
- Book: online in advance with a flat all-in quote (fare, gratuity, surcharges, and 13% HST included)
- Pay: securely by credit card — card held on file
- At the curb: nothing to hand over, fully cashless
- No meter, no surge pricing, no surprise charges
Which credit cards can I use?
We accept all major credit cards — Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Payment is processed through a secure, encrypted checkout, so your card details are protected and never handled by the chauffeur.
Because the card is stored on file for your trip, the same card covers the ride whether it is a one-way transfer, a round trip, or an hourly as-directed booking. If you are travelling for work, this also gives you a clean, itemized receipt for expense reports.
- Visa — accepted
- Mastercard — accepted
- American Express — accepted
- Secure encrypted checkout; card stored on file for the booking
- Itemized email receipt for expenses and reimbursement
How the 3-hour online booking window works
Book online any time up to about 3 hours before your pickup. That short lead time lets us confirm a chauffeur and vehicle, lock your flat quote, and hold your card for the trip.
If your pickup is inside the next 3 hours — a last-minute meeting, an early flight, or a schedule change — the online quote tool will ask you to call instead. Phone us at (416) 200-5070 (toll-free 1-877-200-5070) and we will arrange the ride and take your card by phone, 24/7.
For airport pickups we track your flight live, so if you land early or late the chauffeur adjusts automatically — you do not need to rebook or re-quote.
- 3+ hours before pickup → book and pay online
- Inside 3 hours → call (416) 200-5070, 24/7
- Airport arrivals → live flight tracking, chauffeur adjusts to your landing
- Meet & greet inside arrivals on airport pickups
When is my card actually charged?
Your card is authorized and held on file when you confirm the booking, and the flat quoted amount is charged for the trip — there is nothing extra to pay on the day. Because the fare is fixed upfront, you always know the total before you ride.
Airport pickups (arrivals) include a small airport access fee plus meet & greet inside the terminal; airport drop-offs (departures) do not carry that fee. Either way, everything is folded into the one upfront number, so the card on file settles it in full.
Gratuity, applicable surcharges, and 13% HST are already built into the quote. You will not be asked to tip in cash at the curb unless you choose to add something extra.
- Card held on file at booking; flat quoted total charged for the trip
- Gratuity, surcharges, and 13% HST already included in the quote
- Arrivals pickups include airport fee + meet & greet; departures do not
- No add-ons or curb-side charges — the quote is the price

Related questions
Do I need to pay the driver any cash on top?
No. The ride is fully prepaid to your card on file at the flat quoted rate, and gratuity, surcharges, and 13% HST are already included. Nothing is owed to the chauffeur at the curb — a small extra tip is welcome but never required or expected.
Can I book online and have someone else's card, or the company card, on file?
Yes. You can enter any valid Visa, Mastercard, or Amex at checkout, including a corporate card. This is common for corporate and executive travel where an assistant books the ride and a company card is held on file. You will receive an itemized receipt for expensing.
Is it safe to store my credit card for the pickup?
Yes. Card details are entered through a secure, encrypted checkout and are never seen or handled by the chauffeur. The card is held only for your confirmed trip so the pickup can be completely cashless.
What if my flight is delayed — will I be charged more?
No. We track your flight live, so your chauffeur is already adjusting to your actual landing time. Your quote is flat and fixed, so a delayed or early arrival does not change the price on your card.
My pickup is in two hours — can I still book online?
Online booking needs about 3 hours of lead time. Inside that window, call us at (416) 200-5070 (toll-free 1-877-200-5070), any hour of the day. We will confirm the vehicle and take your card by phone so the ride is still cashless at the curb.
