One of the things I hate most about travelling house of travel new zealand is all the small details that go into planning a trip, and one of the most important (and often expensive) tasks is getting to the airport. Since I am from Toronto, I know this airport the best and will be targeting this post on how to get to and from Pearson Airport for cheap.
Other than walking, taking the TTC is the cheapest house of travel new zealand possible way to get there, but they really don't make it easy to do so. Firstly, you have to take the TTC all the way to one of the furthest possible stations (if you are coming from downtown Toronto), then get on a bus that will take around 45 minutes. Knowing how slow TTC is on a regular day means your travel time could be anywhere from an hour to well over 2 hours. As you can tell this is not my way of choice to get there but if money is the biggest determining factor then this is the cheapest option.
First, there is a service called the Toronto Airport Express Shuttle which runs from various locations in downtown house of travel new zealand Toronto to Pearson Airport every 30 minutes. It is quite expensive considering the length of the journey at $25.60 for a one way trip and $38 for a round trip, but is an option if you are travelling alone downtown and don t have a car and want to pay less than a taxi.
Secondly, you can do a combination of TTC and Go Transit. house of travel new zealand Go Transit offers several buses that leave from Yorkdale and York Mills Station every 20-25 minutes which will get you to the aiport in under 30 minutes (depending on traffic of course). Go Transit also offers service from Brampton Richmond Hill but there are also various other shuttle bus companies that run from many other cities around Ontario. For a full list of shuttle companies see our chart at the bottom of the page for a list of companies and which regions they service.
If you own a car, one of the easiest ways to get to the airport is to drive there yourself. Around the airport there are many self-park lots that will allow you to leave your car for any length of time and then shuttle you to the airport. I have tried a few of them but always seem to go back to Park N Fly as they are by far the most recognizable brand and also because they have the most shuttle buses of all the other companies house of travel new zealand (which means I don t have to wait long). Park N Fly offers 3 choices for lots that vary based on their distance from the airport, house of travel new zealand services offered and shuttle bus frequency. They regularly offer coupons that will give you a few days free when you book a week, so if you are going to be travelling for a while be sure to look for a coupon before you go.
If you don t have your own car, a taxi might be a good, fast convenient option for getting to the airport. I personally find taxis to be very expensive though with an average trip cost of around $50 plus tip in the GTA. They are also only slightly house of travel new zealand cheaper than an airport limo so given the choice I would take the limo. Here is a list of flat-rate pricing for a taxi from the airport to downtown Toronto .
Taking a limo to the airport can be one of the most comfortable ways of getting there, but like the taxi, it definitely comes with a price tag. This is definitely the option I would take if money is no option, but this blog isn t about splurging it is about saving money. The only tip I can give with this option is to do some research if you are planning a trip to the airport. If you look online you can often find many limo companies that offer rates cheaper than the ones posted at the terminal (which unfortunately you will have no room for negotiation on). In case you are interested house of travel new zealand though, here is a list of flat-rate pricing for limos to and from Pearson Airport .
