Airports & terminals
Where does my limo driver meet me at Toronto Pearson arrivals?
Answered by the Toronto Airport Limo team · Last reviewed July 6, 2026
Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal after you clear customs and collect your bags — name-board in hand — at Toronto Pearson's Pre-Arranged Services meeting area near Door A on the Arrivals (Ground) Level. This applies to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. With meet-and-greet, your driver waits inside with a sign showing your name; you simply exit the customs hall, follow signs to Door A, and look for your name. If you can't spot your chauffeur, call our 24/7 dispatch and we'll bring you together in under a minute.
The exact meeting spot at Pearson: Door A, Arrivals Level
Your chauffeur meets you at Toronto Pearson's Pre-Arranged Services meeting area, located near Door A on the Arrivals (Ground) Level — the same designated indoor spot in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. This is where the airport routes all pre-booked cars, limos and chauffeured pickups, kept separate from the taxi and rideshare lines so it stays calm and easy to find.
With our meet-and-greet service (included on airport arrivals), your uniformed chauffeur is already waiting inside, standing near the customs exit or the Door A meeting area holding a name-board. You don't wait at a curb, you don't call for a car, and you don't hunt through a crowded rank — you walk out, see your name, and your driver takes your bags from there.
For quick orientation: Terminal 1 handles Air Canada, Star Alliance and most international carriers; Terminal 3 handles WestJet, American, Delta, British Airways and others. Both terminals use the Door A pre-arranged meeting point, so the process is identical wherever you land.
Step by step: from your baggage carousel to your chauffeur
The walk from the carousel to your driver is short and well-signed. Here is exactly what happens once the wheels touch down:
- 1. Clear customs / immigration. On international arrivals, pass through Canada Border Services and collect your checked luggage from the carousel. Domestic arrivals skip customs and go straight to bags.
- 2. Exit the secure baggage hall into the public Arrivals (Ground) Level greeting area.
- 3. Follow the overhead signs for 'Pre-Arranged Services' / limousines, heading toward Door A.
- 4. Look for your uniformed chauffeur holding a name-board with your name (or your company name, if you asked). This is where they'll be standing.
- 5. Hand off your bags. Your driver escorts you to the vehicle waiting at the dedicated pickup point — no schlepping across the garage.
- Total time from carousel to car is usually just a few minutes' walk on one level — no elevators, shuttles or terminal changes needed.
What the sign looks like — and how we track your flight
Your name-board is a clean, printed sign showing your last name (we can put a company or group name on it instead — just tell us when you book). Your chauffeur is in professional attire, so between the uniform and the sign they're easy to pick out of the greeting crowd.
You never need to worry about being early or late. We track your flight live using your flight number, so we already know your real landing time — if you're early, delayed, or diverted, your chauffeur adjusts and is there when you actually clear the doors, not when the schedule said. That's why we ask for your flight number at booking.
On arrivals we also build in complimentary wait time after landing so you have room to clear customs and collect bags without the clock pressuring you. The small airport pickup fee that appears on your upfront quote covers this indoor meet-and-greet and the terminal access — departures (drop-offs) don't carry it.
Can't find your driver? Do this
If you don't immediately spot your chauffeur, don't leave the terminal or step outside — call our 24/7 dispatch at (416) 200-5070 (toll-free 1-877-200-5070) and we'll connect you in seconds. Because we're tracking your flight, dispatch already knows you've landed and can tell you exactly where your driver is standing, or send them straight to you.
A few quick tips that prevent almost every missed connection:
- Stay near Door A / the Pre-Arranged Services meeting area on the Arrivals Level — that's where your driver is holding position.
- Confirm your terminal before you fly: check whether your airline arrives at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, since they're a shuttle ride apart.
- Keep your phone on and off airplane mode once you land so dispatch (and your driver) can reach you.
- If your plans change mid-trip, call us — we can hold the car, adjust the pickup, or reposition your chauffeur without you losing your booking.

Related questions
Does the chauffeur come inside, or do I meet them at the curb?
Inside. With our meet-and-greet service (standard on airport arrivals), your chauffeur waits within the terminal at the Door A pre-arranged meeting area, holding a name-board, and only walks you out to the car once you've cleared customs and collected your bags. You never have to find the vehicle yourself.
Where do I meet my driver at Terminal 1 versus Terminal 3?
Both terminals use the same setup: the Pre-Arranged Services meeting area near Door A on the Arrivals (Ground) Level. Terminal 1 serves Air Canada and most international flights; Terminal 3 serves WestJet, American, Delta and others. Wherever you land, head for Door A and look for your name-board.
What if my flight is delayed or lands early?
You're covered. We track your flight live using the flight number you give at booking, so your chauffeur is timed to your actual arrival, not the original schedule. Early, delayed or diverted, your driver is there when you clear the doors — no need to call ahead.
How long will my driver wait after I land?
We build in complimentary wait time after touchdown so you can comfortably clear customs and collect luggage. Because we monitor your flight, dispatch knows you've landed and holds the chauffeur in position. If customs takes longer than usual, a quick call to (416) 200-5070 keeps everyone in sync at no stress to you.
Is there an extra charge for the meet-and-greet inside arrivals?
A small airport pickup fee appears on your upfront quote for arrivals — it covers the indoor meet-and-greet, name-board and terminal access. It's already folded into the flat all-in price you're quoted, so there's nothing extra to pay at pickup. Departure drop-offs don't carry this fee. Get an exact upfront quote before you book.
