Helpful Tips

Airport SkyBus departs from 396 Queen Street every 10-15 minutes and costs roughly half a taxi fare

Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed drivers at the terminal exit quoting inflated flat fares instead of using the meter. Insist on the official taxi rank and confirm the driver starts the meter.
Private shuttle touts inside baggage claim offering 'express' rides to the city at premium rates that exceed standard shuttle pricing. Use the clearly marked transport desks or pre-book through the airport's official partners.
Rideshare drivers requesting cash payment or claiming the app price is 'broken' to charge more. Always complete the trip through the app and report any driver who refuses.
