North York Airport: Transfers and Taxi

Transfers from North York Airport

There is no airport in the area of North York. The nearest one — Toronto Pearson Airport — is located in the city of Mississauga, at a distance of approximately 22 kilometers. Transfers from Toronto Airport can take you to the most popular destinations in the province of Ontario such as Toronto, North York, London, Oakville, Hamilton, and Waterloo. Also, they will take you to world-famous Niagara Falls.

Using the transfer service will save you plenty of hassle and will allow you to get to your destination in comfort:

• You won’t need to look for public transport and taxi pick up locations and wait there, as well as travel between the terminals. The Kiwitaxi driver will pick you up in the appointed place at the time specified in your reservation. He will also help you carry your bags to the car and load them into the trunk.
• You can choose a vehicle that suits all your travel needs. When booking a private transfer, you can select from several car classes and thus can order the perfect vehicle for you.
• You can make a payment in the preferred currency. We offer several currencies to choose from when you make a prepayment on the website — you can select the one that suits you best and thus avoid exchanging money upon arrival.

You can book a transfer even for late-night hours. If you travel with small children, you can add the necessary number of child seats to your booking.  

The private transfer from the airport to North York takes around 30 minutes and costs 85 US dollars.

Taxi from North York Airport

Airport taxis come in two types — ordinary taxis and limos. Taxi pick-up locations can be found on the ground levels of both terminals. Official cabs can be recognized by the GTAA number plate and sticker on the window. 

Airport taxis offer flat fares. The cost of the trip to North York is 48 Canadian dollars. However, note that there may also be some additional charges — for instance, for oversized baggage. Also, in Canada, it is common to tip taxi drivers (10 to 15% of the fare).

If you arrive at the airport with a group of more than 6 people, you won’t find a suitable vehicle for you at the stand, as the largest taxis there only accommodate 6 persons. In this case, a pre-arranged transfer will be a better option for you: with Kiwitaxi, you can book a minibus in advance. Also, this option will keep you from waiting in line at the taxi rank.

Public Transport from North York Airport

Besides taxis and private transfers, you can also leave the air hub by bus or train. Trains can only take you to the city of Toronto. Other cities are only accessible by bus: there are services to Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, etc. To reach North York, you need to catch the GO bus route 34: it will take you there in half an hour for 7.55 Canadian dollars. To pay the fare, you need to purchase either a single-use ticket (online or at a vending machine at the air hub) or a reloadable PRESTO card.

Note that GO buses run from 1 Terminal — if you’re at Terminal 3, you will first need to catch the Terminal Link train to get to Terminal 1. Also, you may spend up to an hour waiting at the bus stop.

Booking a transfer from North York Airport

When reserving a private transfer, you need to specify:

• the date and time of your travel
• the preferred transfer class
• extra services if needed (for instance, if you travel with children, don’t forget to add child car seats to your booking).

You can prepay for your trip on the website with your credit card. After you make a payment, you will receive an email with a booking confirmation.

You need to make a reservation at least 24 hours before the ride. However, contact us even if there’s less time left — we’ll try to find an available car for you anyway.

Transfers are more expensive than other travel options, but they have plenty of advantages over them: you don’t need to spend your time at a currency exchange office or at a public transport stop, as well as in a line at a taxi stand. The driver picks you up strictly at the specified time and you leave the air hub without delay. You can prepay for your travel in the desired currency and choose the car that suits all your travel needs.
