Absolutely. Many travellers arriving by GO Transit at Oshawa GO Station on Bloor Street book a direct taxi transfer to Pearson rather than dealing with the GO bus to Union Station and then the UP Express. The pickup takes under five minutes from the station. This works in both directions — if you are flying into Pearson and need to get to the Oshawa GO area, your driver will be waiting at the Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 arrivals curb and drive you directly to Bloor Street. Just select your pickup time to align with your train or flight arrival and the driver will be there.

We track incoming flights in real time. If your arrival at YYZ is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically — no need to call or rebook.

If the delay exceeds 60 minutes, we will contact you by text to confirm a new pickup window at no extra charge.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Interac debit through a secure tap terminal in the vehicle. Cash payments in Canadian dollars are also accepted.
