One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Billy Bishop to a hotel on Kempenfelt Bay, the island airport to a house in south Barrie near Allandale, Eireann Quay to a family cottage north of the city. For an arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules.

Round-Trip Service

Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: from the island pavilion to a cottage rental near Barrie when you land, and back to Eireann Quay at the end of the week. On a cottage week, the departure day is easy to forget in the planning, so set it at the start. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pickup times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.

Hourly Service

Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at YTZ, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to Barrie: Route and Drive Time

Barrie stands on Kempenfelt Bay, an arm of Lake Simcoe, about an hour north of Toronto. From the island airport the trip is 95 km and usually lasts 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes, almost all of it on Highway 400 once you are out of the city.

Your car leaves from Eireann Quay on the mainland, crosses Toronto northward and joins the 400. The highway brings you into Barrie at its south end, and the waterfront and downtown sit on the bay a few minutes further. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

At Billy Bishop the terminal is on the island and the car waits on the mainland, so all luggage crosses with you. The ferry runs every 15 minutes until midnight, and the pedestrian tunnel has moving walkways, which helps with heavy cottage bags or ski equipment.

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pickup around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pickup rules. If you later fly to the US from Toronto, US preclearance at the island as well as at Pearson lets you clear US customs before boarding.

Arriving at Your Address in Barrie

Barrie's waterfront on Kempenfelt Bay is the heart of the city, and every summer Kempenfest brings four days of events there, with ticketed evening shows on the main stage. The GO line ends at Allandale Waterfront GO, at the south end of the bay, and runs for about 101 km to Union Station.

Some visitors use Barrie as a base for Muskoka cottages to the north or Blue Mountain to the west. Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. For a lakeside property, add directions for the last stretch.

From Barrie Back to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

Allow 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes for the drive south, then the crossing and security at the island terminal. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Highway 400 has a clear rhythm. Northbound traffic is heavy on summer Friday afternoons and evenings and on long weekends, which matters if your flight leaves on a Friday and the chauffeur drives up to collect you. In winter, add a margin for snow before an evening flight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

My flight into Billy Bishop is late: does the pickup for Barrie still work?

Yes. The chauffeur follows your flight, so the pickup follows the actual landing. Complimentary waiting time is included with airport pickups and is counted from the actual landing, which leaves room for customs and baggage claim.

Can I request a child seat for the ride from Billy Bishop to Barrie?

Child seats are requested in the booking form: choose a booster or an infant and child safety seat and the number you need. Vehicle availability varies by market.

Can my pet travel with me from Billy Bishop to Barrie?

Yes, if you select the pet option when booking. All pets must be in a crate or carrier.

Can I continue past Barrie to a cottage or a ski resort?

Yes. A cottage in Muskoka or a lodge at Blue Mountain can be the drop-off address instead of Barrie. Add the address and any directions for private roads when you book.

We are bringing skis and coolers — how do we book?

Enter the number of bags in the booking form; for skis, golf bags or other bulky items, tell support so the vehicle is matched to the load. Remember that you carry everything across to the mainland first.

What do you need to know about Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport in 2026–2027?

Air Canada joined Porter on the island in March 2026 with LaGuardia flights, the same month US preclearance opened. On the Barrie line, Metrolinx plans two-way all-day trains every 30 minutes but has not set a date; on weekends, buses often stand in for trains while construction is under way.
