Ajax to and from Pearson Airport
Ajax is roughly 55 kilometres from Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) and the drive takes about 45 to 55 minutes in either direction depending on the time of day. Most Ajax pickups start near Harwood Avenue, Westney Road, or the Salem Road area. Airport pickups meet you at the Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 arrivals curb.
The primary route joins Highway 401 near the Salem Road interchange. Heading to the airport, the highway carries you west past Pickering, along the edge of the Rouge National Urban Park, through Scarborough and North York, then feeds onto Highway 427 southbound to the terminal ramps. Coming back from Pearson, the driver reverses the corridor — 427 north to the 401 eastbound, exiting at Salem Road or Westney Road.
During the evening commute, traffic between the Brock Road and Morningside Avenue stretches of the 401 can slow considerably. In those windows, your driver may detour via Highway 407 ETR, an alternate that adds distance but saves time by avoiding the 401 bottleneck.
The flat rate between Ajax and Pearson is $105 CAD — no meter, no surge, same price at 6 AM or 6 PM whether you are heading to a departure or arriving home from a flight.
