How much is a taxi from Pearson Airport to Pickering?

The Pearson-to-Pickering fare, vehicle by vehicle

A chauffeured sedan for up to three passengers starts at $149.34 all-in from either Pearson terminal to Pickering. That's the finished bill — gratuity, 13% HST, the card fee and the $15.27 airport pickup fee are already inside — and it's locked the moment you book.

An SUV for up to six starts around $201.41; bigger arrivals can take a Premium SUV from around $296.36 or a Sprinter Van from around $512.13, which keeps up to eleven people and their luggage together in one vehicle. Full details live on the /fleet/ page.

Your specific address and vehicle set the final figure — the numbers here are honest starting points, and the instant quote at /ride/ turns them into your exact total in seconds.

Just past the floor: how 49 kilometres gets priced

Shorter Pearson pickups share a minimum fare — $132.91 for the sedan — that covers everything out to roughly the mid-30s of kilometres: Scarborough at 33.2 km still rides the floor. Pickering, at 49.2 km, is the first Durham stop past that line, so its fare has started climbing — but only to $149.34, a $16.43 step.

Keep going east and the same logic continues: Oshawa at 67.9 km quotes from $198.53. The pattern is worth trusting — the fare follows the kilometres, with no airport-run markup layered on top. The SUV moves the same way, from a $194.01 floor to $201.41 for Pickering — a $7.40 step. And the $15.27 pickup fee is identical on every airport pickup, already inside the quote.

Within Pickering, the spread from Rosebank and the waterfront up through the Town Centre to the new Seaton neighbourhoods barely moves the number. The /ride/ quote resolves your exact street instantly.

• Scarborough (33.2 km): still at the $132.91 floor
• Pickering (49.2 km): from $149.34 — $16.43 past the floor
• Oshawa (67.9 km): from $198.53 — distance keeps counting
• Same $15.27 pickup fee on every airport pickup, always included

Landing, meeting, riding: the pickup in practice

Your booking carries your flight number, and the arrival is tracked — the chauffeur times the pickup to the actual landing, not the schedule. Delays cost you nothing and change nothing except the clock.

Once you're down, exact meeting instructions arrive by text. If you'd rather walk out to a name sign, meet & greet is $65 and your chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall and walks you to the car — a welcome sight after a red-eye. Travelling with children? A forward- or rear-facing seat is installed free.

The drive east runs the 401 express lanes across the top of Toronto — typically 40 to 60 minutes depending on the hour. On a flat fare, the infamous 401 afternoon is a scheduling fact, not a billing event. Overnight and red-eye landings are covered the same way: the pickup runs whenever the flight actually arrives, at the price quoted when you booked.

Booking it, paying for it, changing it

If your landing is more than three hours away, book at /ride/ — the quote is instant and the total final. Inside three hours, call (416) 200-5070 or toll-free 1-877-200-5070 and it's arranged directly, any hour of the day.

Pay by card saved at booking — charged only once the ride is confirmed, Apple Pay and Google Pay supported — or cash to the chauffeur. You'll have an SMS confirmation from the start, a self-serve email link for edits up to 12 hours before pickup, and an SMS reminder about four hours out.

The return run to Pearson for your departure quotes as a drop-off — no $15.27 airport fee — so it typically lands a little under the pickup fare. Fifteen-plus years on the 401 corridor means the pickup timing that comes with your booking reflects the road as it actually behaves.
