From the moment you land to the moment you are in the car — here is the flow, a quick estimate of when you will reach the curb, and how your driver meets you.
A quick estimate so your ride home lines up with reality.
A planning estimate only — times vary with customs and baggage. You do not need to time it perfectly: our system tracks your flight and your driver meets you when you are out.
A typical international arrival with checked bags.
What actually happens after you land — and where your driver meets you.
Off the aircraft, follow the overhead Arrivals / Baggage signs. Domestic and U.S. arrivals head straight toward baggage; international clears customs first.
International travellers clear Canada Customs — the Advance CBSA Declaration or a kiosk speeds this up. Passport and declaration ready before the hall.
Check the screens for your carousel. Usually where the wait is — which is fine, because your driver is already tracking your flight.
Once you have your bags, call or text. Your driver meets you at the arrivals pickup level for Terminal 1 or 3 — the exact spot is in your confirmation.
Pearson has two terminals, a shuttle apart — so it is worth a glance at your boarding pass. Either way, your driver meets you at the right terminal.
Long, but well-signed — allow a few minutes from curb to your gate zone.
Always confirm on your boarding pass — carriers do move between terminals.
After baggage claim, walk out any arrivals door at Terminal 1 or 3, take a photo of the exit sign and send it to your driver. Your driver’s details email has your driver’s phone and the “Track your ride” link; your PIN appears there 30 minutes before pickup.
Nothing you need to do. Our flight-tracking system monitors your flight in real time and adjusts your pickup to your actual landing — at no extra charge. Add your flight number when you book and it is tracked automatically.
Plan for roughly 40 to 90 minutes from landing to curb once you factor in taxiing, customs and baggage — longer at peak times. Because your flight is tracked, you never pay for that wait.
