Toronto Islands · YTZ
A Billy Bishop airport limo from Toronto Pearson costs $82 in a sedan or $106 in an SUV. Our cars stop on the mainland side at 2 Eireann Quay, next to the tunnel to the island.
Getting there
Head for the mainland side at 2 Eireann Quay, where Bathurst Street meets the water. From there you cross the Western Gap by the pedestrian tunnel, or on the short ferry.
The airport runs a free shuttle bus from Front and York Streets, across from Union Station. It leaves about every 15 minutes, and the trip takes about 15 minutes. By road the terminal is only 3 km from Union, about 5 minutes in a car.
By limo, we pull in at the mainland pavilion curb, beside the ferry building. The airport allows only a brief stop there to load and unload, as its pick-up and drop-off rules explain.
Taxis wait in a corral to the right of the pavilion, and rideshare cars use the lane by Little Norway Park. For an arrival, the car meets you at the same mainland curb, timed to your landing.
Limo Airport Toronto picks up and drops off on that mainland side, at 2 Eireann Quay, for every Billy Bishop trip.
The crossing
Most travellers walk. The free tunnel under the Western Gap is about 240 metres long, roughly a six-minute walk. The ferry ride takes about 90 seconds.
| Way across | How long | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Pedestrian tunnel | About six minutes on foot | Most people, with or without bags |
| Ferry | About 90 seconds, leaving about every 15 minutes | Anyone who would rather not walk the tunnel |
Fares
From Toronto Pearson the fare is $82 by sedan and $106 by SUV. A group of up to 12 can take the Sprinter for $452, and the stretch limo is $566.
Each amount pays for the entire car in one direction, and the island back to Pearson is priced the same. Starting somewhere else in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)? Ask, and we price that pickup on its own.
Some trips land at Pearson and leave from the island, or the other way round. The 26 km run is roughly 25 minutes on a quiet road, and close to an hour at rush hour. Leave at least 2.5 hours between the two flights.
Every Pearson fare by city is on our Pearson airport limo page.
Staying near Union Station with one small bag? The free airport shuttle or the 509 streetcar may be all you need.
A limo makes sense for a family, a pile of luggage or a 6 AM flight. It also helps on a pickup outside downtown: see our Vaughan airport limo page, or the Oakville limo to Pearson fares.

Vehicles
Short answer
One or two people with carry-ons are well served by the sedan, which has room for 3 riders and 3 suitcases.
A family with full suitcases needs an SUV: seats for 6 or 7 and space for 6 bags. Keep in mind that your bags go through the tunnel or onto the ferry with you.
A team of up to 12 fits in the Sprinter for $452. Child seats cost $15 each when you ask for them at booking.
On the day
We drive at any hour, so a 6 AM departure from the island is an ordinary booking. For a pickup, share the flight number so dispatch can track it.
A late plane moves the pickup and adds nothing to the fare. Companies can also put island trips on a business account, billed once a month.
Need a hand inside? The airport has a seated area by the main doors of the mainland terminal, with an intercom to call an accessibility agent.
