Six airports, one standard
Toronto travellers use six airports, and the ground transfer at each is a different job: a two-terminal giant with a designated pickup door, an island field reached by tunnel, a leisure airport an hour down the QEW, a US airport across a border, a corridor field on the 401 and a pair of small airports at the Falls. Every one of them is served the same way — the flight tracked from the evening before, the chauffeur at the designated meeting point, the free wait measured from the actual arrival, the fare fixed at booking — and each has a page on this site that explains where the chauffeur meets you, how long the drive really takes to every part of the GTA, and what the fare is built from.
The two Toronto airports, Pearson and Billy Bishop, are most of the traffic and have the fullest pages. Hamilton is the leisure and low-cost airport; Buffalo is the US-fares play with a border in the middle; Waterloo serves the tech corridor; and the Niagara airports serve the Falls and its private-aviation trade. Private aviation and FBO transfers at all of them have their own page. The airport limo overview compares the six in one table and explains the procedure that is common to all.
Choosing the airport
For a downtown traveller to Ottawa, Montreal, Boston, Newark, Chicago or Washington, Billy Bishop saves ninety minutes door to gate. For a family flying to Florida or the Caribbean, Hamilton or Buffalo may save hundreds of dollars per person against a longer drive; the pages work the arithmetic honestly, including the cases where the ground transfer eats the saving for a single traveller. For everything else, and for every long-haul flight, it is Pearson, and the Pearson page is the most complete guide to that airport's ground transport anyone has written.
