Late night shuttle service from Toronto Airport (Pearson)

Hi, can anyone tell me if there are shuttle services from Toronto Airport late at night, when I google, only limo companies come up. Our motel gave us a quote of $100 for a company (they didn't provide company name) ,which I think is expensive considering we're travelling to Meadowvale (family of 5), so I want to get other quotes. Our flight arrives at midnight and we have to go through customs and immigration. Thanks.

Where's Meadowvale?

I think maybe the poster is referring to Meadowvale Road in Scarborough. That's a fair distance from the airport. Most of the shuttles from the airport go to downtown hotels. I'm not sure if there are any that would go to Scarborough.

I'm wondering why the poster wants to stay out there? You usually need a car if you're going to stay in the burbs (my experience anyway).

I am thinking the Meadowvale in question could be in Mississauga. If so $100 is about double what it should be.

Taxis and limos from the Toronto airport work on a zone system. The airport web site is www.gtaa.com and it has maps showing the fare zones and the rules. I don't see arriving at midnight as a problem getting a taxi or limo; they stay till the last flight is in. I showed up on a delayed flight at 1:30 AM and had no trouble getting home. If you have a lot of stuff you might need to use a van. There is a curbside dispatcher who can arrange this.

I agree with Gavin. I'm sure she means Meadowvale in Mississauga. I think you should be able to get a cab for much less than $100.

Good luck.

Thanks, yes Meadowvale in question is in Mississauga, I think around 15 mins from the airport. We're staying there because it's the cheapest accom for apartment style accom for family of 5 that we could find. We're immigrating from Australia to Canada and we'll have 10 check-in large bags and 5 hand luggage so we'll probably need a van. I'll check the airport site, thanks for your replies.

You could combine the shuttle service with the hotel. We alway have the same issue. This website may help you finding your shuttle and hotel: http://www.allhotelsairport.com/en/airport/ca/YYZ
