Is there a wheelchair accessible airport transfer to Toronto Pearson?
Answered by the Toronto Airport Limo team · Last reviewed July 6, 2026
Yes, if your wheelchair folds. A folding wheelchair stows in the trunk of a sedan or the cargo area of an SUV or Sprinter van while the passenger transfers to a seat, with meet-and-greet and door-to-door assistance at Pearson arrivals. If you must stay seated in a non-folding wheelchair or mobility scooter, our fleet — executive and premium sedans, SUVs, a Mercedes Sprinter van and a stretch limousine — cannot carry you seated in the chair, because we do not operate a purpose-built ramp- or lift-equipped accessible van with floor tie-downs. In that case, call us and we will advise the best option or refer you to a dedicated accessible-van operator.
Yes — but the right vehicle depends on your mobility aid
Accessible airport transfers to Pearson exist, and the single most important detail is whether your wheelchair folds. This decides which vehicle we can send, so it is the first thing to tell us when you book.
A standard chauffeured sedan or stretch limousine is not a wheelchair-accessible vehicle: the passenger must be able to transfer into a seat, and only a folding chair fits in the trunk. The same is true of our SUVs and Sprinter van — they carry a folded chair and a mobility aid with ease, but none of our vehicles is a purpose-built van with a ramp, lift or floor tie-downs. That means we cannot transport someone who must remain seated in a non-folding wheelchair or scooter. If that is your situation, call us before booking and we will advise the best option or point you to a dedicated accessible-van operator.
- Folding wheelchair, passenger can transfer to a seat: an Executive Sedan, Full-Size SUV (Suburban) or Luxury SUV (Escalade) works — the folded chair stows in the trunk or cargo area.
- Larger folding chair or extra luggage plus the group: a Full-Size SUV or Mercedes Sprinter passenger van gives more cargo room and an easier, higher step-in.
- Non-folding wheelchair or scooter, passenger stays seated in the chair: our fleet cannot carry you seated in the aid — call us and we will advise the best option or refer you to a dedicated accessible-van operator.
- Travelling as a couple or family with a caregiver: the SUV and van options seat everyone together alongside a folded mobility aid.
Book ahead so we assign and confirm the right vehicle
Reserve your transfer in advance rather than at the last minute. Larger vehicles like the SUV and Sprinter van are a limited part of any fleet, and advance notice lets us confirm cargo space, an easier step-in and a chauffeur briefed to assist with your mobility aid.
Our online instant quote is built for roughly three hours or more of lead time. For a same-day booking, an accessibility-specific question, or a non-folding aid, call (416) 200-5070 or toll-free 1-877-200-5070 so a person can match the right vehicle to your needs — or, if you need a purpose-built accessible van we do not operate, advise the best route and refer you on.
- Tell us the aid type: folding wheelchair, non-folding wheelchair, or mobility scooter (and its approximate weight if powered).
- Tell us how many passengers and bags travel with the mobility aid so we size the vehicle correctly.
- Give as much notice as you can for the SUV or Sprinter van; more notice always means more choice.
- Every fare is a flat, all-in upfront quote — no meter and no surge — so the vehicle you confirm is the price you pay.
Meet-and-greet and door-to-door help at Pearson arrivals
Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal, not just curbside. On an airport pickup we track your flight, wait through customs and baggage delays, and meet you in the arrivals hall by name with a sign — so a passenger with reduced mobility never has to navigate Pearson's Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 alone or search a busy curb.
From there it is hands-on, door-to-door assistance: help with luggage, a steady arm to the vehicle, and support transferring in and out. Pearson's terminals are fully accessible with elevators, accessible washrooms and level routes to the curb, and your chauffeur walks that route with you.
- Live flight tracking means we adjust the pickup automatically if your flight is early or delayed — no extra charge for normal wait.
- Meet-and-greet inside arrivals (a small airport pickup fee applies on arrivals; departures/drop-offs do not carry it).
- Luggage and folded mobility-aid handling loaded and secured for you.
- Wheelchair-friendly loading away from the crowded curb where the vehicle allows.
Typical fares and what an accessible transfer costs
Pricing follows the same flat-rate, distance-based model as any Pearson transfer — a larger vehicle simply sits higher in the range. Fares are quoted upfront and all-in, including gratuity, surcharges and 13% HST.
As guidance, a one-way sedan to Pearson runs roughly $75–130 for nearby GTA (about 15–30 km), $110–180 for mid-range trips (30–55 km) and $160–260 for farther points (55–90 km). A Full-Size or Luxury SUV runs about 30–60% above the sedan, and a Sprinter van higher again. For an exact number on the vehicle you need, use the instant quote or call.
- Folding chair in a sedan: expect the sedan band for your distance.
- Folding chair or scooter needing an SUV or van: expect roughly 30–60%+ above the sedan.
- Non-folding wheelchair or scooter: we do not operate a ramp/lift van — call and we will advise or refer you to an accessible-van operator.
- Airport pickups add a small arrivals fee and meet-and-greet; departures do not.

Related questions
Can a limousine or sedan carry a non-folding wheelchair?
No. A standard sedan or stretch limousine can only carry a folding wheelchair in the trunk while the passenger transfers to a seat — and the same is true of our SUVs and Sprinter van. To travel seated in a non-folding wheelchair or mobility scooter you need a purpose-built ramp- or lift-equipped accessible van with floor tie-downs, which our fleet does not include. Call us and we will advise the best option or refer you to a dedicated accessible-van operator.
What is the difference between a folding and non-folding mobility aid for booking?
A folding wheelchair collapses to stow in a trunk or cargo area, so the passenger can ride in a normal seat — a sedan, SUV or van all work. A non-folding wheelchair or powered scooter keeps the passenger seated in the aid itself, which requires a purpose-built accessible vehicle we do not operate, so call us to discuss options. Telling us which one you have is the key detail that decides the vehicle.
How much advance notice do I need for an accessible airport transfer?
For a folding chair in a sedan or SUV, our normal lead time — about three hours for the online quote — is usually fine. For the larger SUV or Sprinter van, give as much notice as you can, ideally a day or two, since these vehicles are limited. If you need to stay seated in a non-folding aid, call (416) 200-5070 or 1-877-200-5070 first, as our fleet does not include a purpose-built accessible van.
Will the chauffeur help a passenger with reduced mobility at Pearson?
Yes. Your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals by name, tracks your flight and waits through any delay, then provides door-to-door assistance — luggage, a steady arm to the vehicle, and help transferring in and out. You are never left to navigate Pearson's terminals or the curb alone.
Do you provide accessible transfers to other airports besides Pearson?
Yes. The same folding-chair vehicle options and meet-and-greet assistance apply to Billy Bishop (YTZ), Hamilton (YHM) and Buffalo (BUF), as well as any point across the Greater Toronto Area. If you use a non-folding wheelchair or scooter, tell us your airport and mobility-aid type when you book and we will advise the best option or refer you to an accessible-van operator.
