Toronto Airport Taxi Fare Guide
What airport taxi fares look like from across the GTA - and the flat-rate alternative.
Quick answer: Toronto airport taxi fares follow the GTAA flat-rate tariff - about $60 to $75 to downtown, then roughly $1.90/km beyond the zones. From other GTA cities, a prebooked flat quote is set by distance and vehicle before you ride. Call +1 (800) 266-6345.
How airport taxi fares work
From Pearson, fares are regulated flat rates by zone, not a meter - about $60-75 downtown. Beyond the mapped zones it's roughly $1.90 per kilometre. A taxi hailed on the street to the airport is metered instead, which is less predictable.
Flat quotes from your city
We quote a fixed price by pickup city and vehicle, so you know the total up front from anywhere in the GTA. Compare with the official tariff on our GTAA tariff guide, or get a quote on the rates page.
Flat rate vs meter - a worked example
Picture a Tuesday-evening trip from midtown to Pearson. On a meter, a clear run might be modest - but hit stop-start traffic on the 401 and the fare climbs with every idle minute, and you cannot know the total until you arrive.
A flat rate quotes that same trip as one fixed number before you leave. The 45-minute crawl and the 25-minute clear run cost the same. For airport trips, where traffic is unpredictable and you are watching a clock, that certainty is usually worth more than a slightly lower best-case meter fare.
