Sound familiar?
None of these are about Montreal. They're about getting there. Here is how each one goes away.
Travelling with kids
Flying with little ones means waking them at dawn, carrying car seats through a terminal, and renting another seat in Montreal.
With us: they climb in at home, still in pyjamas if they like. Car seats are in the vehicle and free. Snack stops happen when they're needed, not when a gate opens.
The designated driver
In a rental, one person gives up the trip to drive it, then hunts for parking at $20 to $35 a night in downtown Montreal.
With us: everyone is a passenger. The person who always drives finally gets to look out the window.
Friends across the GTA
Someone is always late, someone forgets the meeting point, and the trip starts with everyone already tired.
With us: we stop at up to 4 addresses across the GTA for your group of up to 6, in the order that saves the most time. Then we head east together.
Parents and grandparents
Trains still mean a ride to Union, stairs and a taxi at the other end.
With us: from your front door to your hotel, with no terminals, stairs or transfers in between.
The short version
A sale fare booked early can cost less; we win on door to door, luggage and staying together. See the full comparison ↓
Is this right for us?
We'd rather you choose the right option than book the wrong one.
The honest price
Example: 6 people, one pickup in downtown Toronto, 2 nights, HST included. Full Size SUV $2,779 (about $463 each). Mini Van $3,005 (about $501 each).
Choose your vehicle
Both vehicles seat 6. What decides it is how much your group packs. See the full fleet.
6 people with 4 carry-ons, or 4 people with 6 checked bags. Room to stretch out on a long highway day.
6 people with up to 6 checked bags, for groups that pack for every possibility.
| Your group | Your bags | Choose |
|---|---|---|
| 6 people | Carry-ons or day bags only (up to 4) | Full Size SUV |
| 6 people | Up to 6 large suitcases | Mini Van |
| 5 people | 5 or 6 large suitcases | Mini Van |
| 4 people | Up to 6 large suitcases | Full Size SUV |
| Any group | More than 6 large suitcases | Won't fit; email us before booking |
Not sure? Choose the Mini Van. Count everyone's bags before you book, including car seats and strollers.
Experience the journey
From 35,000 feet, the road to Montreal is a blur. From your window, it's Lake Ontario in the morning light, the granite and pine of the Thousand Islands, and the St. Lawrence River widening as you cross into Quebec.
Kingston, about halfway, is where most groups stop for coffee and a stretch. Want a photo stop or a meal? Just ask your driver. Drive times are estimates without traffic; rush hour, weather and stops add time.
An example only. Your own times depend on your pickups, traffic and stops.
A worked example
Who: three couples, 6 people at 4 addresses: North York, Scarborough, Markham (Unionville) and Pickering.
Luggage: 6 medium suitcases. 6 people with 6 suitcases need the Mini Van; the Full Size SUV fits 6 checked bags only with 4 people.
Booked separately by the group: their accommodation, hotel, meals and activities.
Mini Van, HST included, about $501 each.
Made up of: the drive there and back $1,875, and 2 driver nights $1,130.

Before you book
About 545 km from downtown Toronto on Highway 401. From Toronto Pearson it is about 551 km from Terminal 1 and 558 km from Terminal 3.
About 5.5 hours from downtown Toronto and 5.5 to 6 hours from Pearson Terminal 1 or 3, without traffic. Rush hour, pickups and stops add time; the planner estimates your arrival.
For 2 nights, $2,779 in a Full Size SUV or $3,005 in a Mini Van from one pickup in downtown Toronto, HST included. That is about $463 or $501 each for 6 people. Up to 3 more GTA pickups can be added. A third night adds $565 with HST.
No. Airport Run provides transportation only. Your accommodation, hotel, meals and activities are not included; you book and pay for those yourselves. The driver-night charge covers our driver's own room, meals and parking, not yours.
No, it is an example. The planner gives you an estimate for your own addresses and dates. Send us the request: our office checks availability and road conditions, then emails your exact price and a secure payment link. Once you pay, that price is locked.
Plan your trip on this page and send the request. You get an email that we received it; it is not confirmed yet. Our office checks the driver, your dates and road conditions, then emails you to confirm with a payment link, or tells you if we cannot do it. Your trip is booked once you pay.
Sometimes, and we'd rather tell you than surprise you. A sale fare booked weeks ahead can beat us. Once you add rides to and from both airports, bag fees and the time spent in lines, the gap usually closes, and for families, groups with luggage or last-minute plans we are often the better value.
Choose the Mini Van: it takes 6 people with up to 6 checked bags. The Full Size SUV takes 6 checked bags only with 4 people, or 6 people with carry-ons. More than 6 large bags will not fit; tell us before you book.
Yes. Add up to 4 pickup addresses anywhere in the GTA, for example North York, Markham, Mississauga and Pickering. The first 25 km of extra driving between pickups is included each way; anything beyond that is shown in your price before you pay.
The return pickup is the address you are dropped at. If it changes, email [email protected] at least 24 hours before your return; a different address can change the price.
Every long drive includes a rest stop, and you can ask your driver for a coffee, a meal or a photo stop. Short stops are part of the trip; longer detours add time to your arrival.
2 or 3 nights. Your driver stays nearby the whole time. For a longer stay, book the trip there and the trip home as two separate rides.
Your safety comes first, every time. We wait it out and bring you home on the next safe day; that extra night is charged at the same driver-night price you saw when you booked.
Date or time changes 24 hours or more before pickup cost 15% of the ride. Address changes go through us by email. Inside 24 hours, changes are not possible.
Send your request as soon as your dates are set: our office needs time to confirm a driver. Car seats need at least 24 hours' notice.
A rental is cheaper, and the right choice if one of you is happy to drive. With us nobody drives, nobody returns a car or pays for parking, and everyone is collected at home and dropped at your hotel.
Yes. Choose newborn, toddler or booster seats when you book, up to 2 per booking, at least 24 hours before pickup.
Close to your hotel, paid by us and covered by the driver-night line in your price.
Cancel 24 hours or more before pickup and what you paid becomes ride credit for 12 months. Changes inside 24 hours are not possible. The full rules are in our terms.
