A 6 a.m. flight out of Toronto Pearson often means leaving home before 4 a.m. If you live in Orangeville, Caledon, Bolton or north Brampton, there’s no train to the airport. Parking for a week adds up, and asking a family member to drive in the dark isn’t much fun either. Here’s how to plan the ride so travel day starts calmly.
How much time to allow
Distances to Pearson are roughly:
| From | Distance to Pearson | Typical drive outside rush hour |
|---|---|---|
| Orangeville | about 70 km | about 1 hour |
| Caledon East / Bolton | about 35 to 40 km | about 35 to 45 minutes |
| Brampton | about 20 to 25 km | about 25 to 35 minutes |
Add time for weather, construction on Highway 410 or 427, and the airline’s check-in and bag-drop cut-offs. When you book, tell us your flight time and terminal, and we’ll suggest a pickup time.
Book the night before, not the morning of
Early-morning rides go fast in busy travel weeks. Book your airport taxi at least a day ahead. Online or by phone, you’ll get the fare before you confirm, and there’s no surge pricing at 4 a.m.
