One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Billy Bishop to Royal Botanical Gardens, the island airport to a business park by the 407, Eireann Quay to Aldershot station for a westbound train. 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 hotel near the Burlington waterfront when you land, and back to Eireann Quay after a weekend at the gardens. Since the drive is close to an hour, it is worth fixing the return together with the arrival. 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 Burlington: Route and Drive Time

Burlington sits near the western end of Lake Ontario, between Oakville and Hamilton. From the island airport it is 55 km, and the drive normally takes 40–55 minutes after the car has picked you up on the mainland at Eireann Quay.

The route runs west along the lake and then on the QEW. In Burlington, Highway 407 ETR ends where it meets the QEW, so offices near that junction are quick to reach, while the downtown waterfront and Spencer Smith Park lie a little further south. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

For Burlington, Porter passengers have a choice of two airports, and the island is the one served from Ottawa, Montréal and other eastern cities. At Billy Bishop you land in one small terminal and reach the mainland by ferry or through the pedestrian tunnel.

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. Hamilton airport has no US preclearance, but the island does: With US preclearance, you clear US customs before boarding a flight to the US.

Arriving at Your Address in Burlington

Royal Botanical Gardens, at 680 Plains Road West, is Canada's largest botanical garden, with more than 1,000 ha of nature reserve and 27 km of trails, and its gardens are spread over several sites. McMaster University has a Burlington campus, and its main campus in Hamilton sits right next to the gardens.

Aldershot station serves VIA and Amtrak Maple Leaf trains between Toronto and New York. Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. For the gardens, give the site you are visiting rather than the main address alone.

From Burlington Back to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

Allow 40–55 minutes for the drive east, plus the crossing to the island terminal and security. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

The QEW toward Toronto is busy on weekday mornings, and fewer lanes are open on part of the Gardiner while it is rehabilitated. In June, the Lakeshore Music & Arts Festival fills Spencer Smith Park on the waterfront, and streets near Lakeshore Road are slower that weekend.

A quiet ride can be selected in the booking form.

My flight into Billy Bishop is late: does the pickup for Burlington 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.

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.
