One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: YHM to the Royal Botanical Gardens on Plains Road, to Aldershot station for the Maple Leaf, or to an office park where the 407 meets the QEW. 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 a house in Aldershot to Mount Hope for a flight to Punta Cana, and from the terminal back to Burlington when you come home. Coming back late with sleepy children is easier when the car home is already arranged. 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 YHM, 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.

John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport to Burlington: Route and Drive Time

Burlington lies on the far side of the harbour from Mount Hope. The transfer runs 33 km, 30–40 minutes in the car, since the route has to get round the west end of the lake.

Addresses in Burlington spread from Aldershot in the west, around Plains Road and the gardens, to the newer neighbourhoods north of the QEW and the lakefront along Spencer Smith Park. The city is also where Highway 407 meets the QEW at its western end, so a business park near that junction is a common drop-off.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Name the neighbourhood or the nearest major road in your booking notes along with the street address.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport

Burlington families use Hamilton airport mostly for the sun: in winter, Porter and WestJet fly from here to Florida, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and the return lands with tanned travellers and heavy suitcases.

For such 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.

International passengers clear Canadian customs at YHM before they collect their bags, so allow for that step when you tell relatives at home what time to expect you.

Arriving at Your Address in Burlington

Destination Ontario calls the Royal Botanical Gardens the country's largest botanical garden; beyond the formal beds at 680 Plains Road West lie over 1,000 hectares of nature reserve. Trails tie the separate garden areas together, which is why the gate you choose makes a difference.

Aldershot, in the west end, is Burlington's call on the cross-border Maple Leaf of VIA and Amtrak; McMaster University has a Burlington campus too. Down on the lake, Spencer Smith Park is the city's outdoor stage.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For the gardens, write which building or garden you want, not just Plains Road.

From Burlington Back to John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport

The return run is the same 33 km and usually 30–40 minutes, whatever part of Burlington you start from. You set the pickup time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

The chauffeur takes you to the terminal for your airline at Mount Hope. If your onward trip is to the United States, remember that YHM has no US preclearance, so American border control takes place on arrival.

A summer Saturday on the lakefront brings festival traffic: in June 2026 the Lakeshore Music & Arts Festival filled Spencer Smith Park, and an event there can slow the streets around Lakeshore Road.

Can you drop us right at the Royal Botanical Gardens?

Yes. The main address is 680 Plains Road West, but the site is large and linked by trails, so tell us which garden or building you are visiting and the car goes to that entrance.

Can I catch the Maple Leaf train after landing at Hamilton?

Yes, the Maple Leaf calls at Aldershot, Burlington's station on the Toronto–New York line. Add the train to your notes and leave a good margin, since a train cannot wait for a late flight.
