Downtown Toronto from the airport
Hi,
I'm heading to Toronto in a couple of weeks with my two kids and my wife. I'm staying near Eaton Centre and trying to avoid renting a car for the first few days there.
What would be the best way to get downtown from the airport? How much would a taxi ride cost? What are other alternatives?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

The best way for four people, plus perhaps lots of stuff, is by airport limo.
Outside each terminal you'll find direction signs; look for the limos, which cost about the same as taxis but are nicer. Ballpark, $60.
It'll cost you about te same on a big highway bus, take longer, be more inconveninet...
And, if you are near Eaton Centre, you won't need a car, at least for the first few days, so that's a good decision

According to GTAA.com limos are $50 and taxis are $46 to downtown. For the record the Eaton Centre can be reached by TTC for one fare (per person) on one bus and two subway trains. Details at ttc.ca. With a family and stuff not a great idea.

Hello, Pup! I always get a limo. Call ahead to reserve it. Then when you collect your luggage & head for the exit look for "Prearranged"(this is in Terminal 1....I have not been in 2 or 3 recently but I assume it is the same.) Go to your right. Walk way down to the end....I think it is exit D .... I never look anymore but it is just past a little bar/cafe....maybe called Bellaire?....I mention this b/c if you go out the first door for "Prearranged" which I think is C you will then have to walk down to D to check in w/ the dispatcher. So, go to D, go outside, give your name & the name of your limo co & the dispatcher will call the driver to come up from the limo compound.

Wow,
We usually just collect our bags, walk out the exit and over to the line-up of limos. Once in a while, we've had to wait a few minutes if the terminal has a lot of flights landing at the same time, but we've never bothered prearranging.
