Flat Rate Airport Taxi (Pearson Airport)

When travelling to and from the airport, the "airport taxis" will give you a flat rate price. The fare will be slightly cheaper, and the cars are usually much better. If you want to try an airport limo, they only cost like $3 dollars more.

Out of City Taxis

Airways Transit does shuttling from the airport to any city in Ontario. If you are heading to Hamilton, Waterloo, or Niagara Falls, give this company a call.

Taxi Etiquette

In a Toronto taxi, you can sit anywhere you want. The taxi driver will usually open the backseat door for you, but it is also fine to sit in the front seat. The cab driver can refuse to let you in the car if you are extremely drunk or have more than 4 people in your group.
