NunavutYFB · networkAt PearsonAirportTransfer.com a chauffeur with one of our cars costs $155 an hour in a business sedan, $185 in an SUV Business, $235 in an SUV First and $285 in a first-class sedan. A chauffeur for your own car is $95 an hour with a 4-hour minimum in the city. Every figure is in Canadian dollars with taxes and 20% gratuity included. Out of town the hourly rate rises by 50%, plus hotel and a $100 travel allowance.
Chauffeur pricing in this city has a reputation for being opaque: a base rate, then a fuel surcharge, then a service fee, then a gratuity line added at the end, and a total that bears little resemblance to the number on the website. We publish the opposite. One hourly rate per vehicle class, all-in, and a short list of things billed at exactly what they cost us. This page sets out the whole rate card for 2026, shows how a monthly or yearly block is priced, walks through four real-world bills line by line, and compares hiring a chauffeur with the alternatives most people weigh.
These are the rates for chauffeur hire by the hour, anywhere in Toronto and the GTA, from a single stop to a full working day. The vehicle classes and the models in each are listed in the vehicles section below, and every car in the fleet is four model years old or newer.
| All-in rate (CAD) | Business sedan | First-class sedan | SUV Business | SUV First | Chauffeur only, your car |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within the city, per hour | $155 | $285 | $185 | $235 | $95 (4-hour minimum) |
| Out of town, per hour (+50%) | $232.50 | $427.50 | $277.50 | $352.50 | $142.50 |
| A 10-hour day within the city | $1,550 | $2,850 | $1,850 | $2,350 | $950 |
| Each km over 150 in one day | $3 | $8 | $4 | $4 | not charged (your car) |
A few rules make the table easy to read:
If you already own a good car, the lowest-cost option is to hire only the person. The chauffeur-only rate is $95 an hour within the city with a 4-hour minimum, which makes the shortest booking $380. Out of town the rate is $142.50 an hour with the same hotel and travel-allowance rules. Because the vehicle, fuel and wear are yours, there is no kilometre charge at all. The catch is insurance: your own policy has to cover a hired driver, which only your insurer can confirm. The chauffeur for your own car page explains how it works and when it makes sense.
"Out of town" covers the trips that take a chauffeur away from the city for the day or longer: Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Muskoka and Georgian Bay, Kingston, Ottawa, London, Windsor, and road trips across the border. The +50% reflects a chauffeur who cannot take another job that day and often cannot sleep at home. In numbers, the out-of-town hourly rates are $232.50 for a business sedan, $277.50 for an SUV Business, $352.50 for an SUV First, $427.50 for a first-class sedan and $142.50 for chauffeur only.
The 150 km daily allowance is generous inside the GTA, where a full day of meetings between downtown, the airport corridor and Vaughan rarely exceeds it. It is the long drives that run past it, which is why the extra-km rate matters on out-of-town days. Tolls are the other variable: a chauffeur on a tight schedule will often use the 407 to bypass the 401, and that is billed at the actual toll. You can estimate a toll before the day with our 407 toll calculator, or check current toll rates directly with 407 ETR.
Clients who need a chauffeur regularly reserve hours in advance. A monthly block is 40, 80, 120 or 220 hours, charged at exactly the same hourly rates as a one-off booking. There is no bulk discount and no premium: what you gain is a reserved chauffeur and car, the same person each time where the schedule allows, and one invoice a month.
| Hours reserved per month | Business sedan | First-class sedan | SUV Business | SUV First | Chauffeur only, your car |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 hours | $6,200 | $11,400 | $7,400 | $9,400 | $3,800 |
| 80 hours | $12,400 | $22,800 | $14,800 | $18,800 | $7,600 |
| 120 hours | $18,600 | $34,200 | $22,200 | $28,200 | $11,400 |
| 220 hours (about 10 h x 22 days) | $34,100 | $62,700 | $40,700 | $51,700 | $20,900 |
Two points to plan around. Unused hours and kilometres do not roll over to the next month, so choose the block that matches your real use rather than your best-case one; overtime beyond the block is simply billed at the hourly rate. And a yearly arrangement is the same blocks with the rate locked for twelve months, which protects a budget from any rate change during the year. The monthly chauffeur service and yearly contracts pages cover how each program runs day to day; all other terms are set out in the written agreement.
The fastest way to understand a rate card is to run a real day through it. Each example below uses only the published rates; your own quote follows the same arithmetic.
A partner at a downtown firm needs a car from 9 am to 3 pm: a breakfast meeting at a hotel on Front Street, client visits at First Canadian Place and in the Financial District, lunch in Yorkville and a drop at Union Station. Business sedan, all within the city, about 45 km of driving.
| Line | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Chauffeur and business sedan | 6 hours x $155 | $930 |
| Kilometres | 45 km, inside the 150 km allowance | $0 |
| Parking while waiting | at actual cost, per receipt | at cost |
| Total | before any at-cost parking | $930 |
The same day in a first-class sedan would be 6 x $285 = $1,710. If the partner owns a car and wants only the chauffeur, it would be 6 x $95 = $570.
A visiting family of five lands at Pearson at 9 am and wants a day at the Falls before returning to an airport-strip hotel. SUV Business, 10 hours, and the whole day counts as out of town. The odometer shows 290 km for the day, which is roughly the round trip on the QEW plus driving around Niagara.
| Line | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Chauffeur and SUV Business, out of town | 10 hours x $277.50 | $2,775 |
| Extra kilometres | (290 - 150) = 140 km x $4 | $560 |
| Travel allowance | flat, out-of-town job | $100 |
| Chauffeur's hotel | none: back the same evening | $0 |
| Tolls and parking | at actual cost | at cost |
| Total | before tolls and parking | $3,435 |
The Pearson to Niagara Falls route page covers the drive itself, and Niagara Falls Tourism is the place to plan the stops.
A family office reserves an SUV First for the principal: weekday school runs, office days, appointments and two Pearson runs. They choose the 120-hour block. Most days stay inside 150 km, but two days include a return trip to Waterloo of about 210 km each.
| Line | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 120-hour monthly block, SUV First | 120 hours x $235 | $28,200 |
| Extra kilometres | 2 days x (210 - 150) = 120 km x $4 | $480 |
| Overtime beyond 120 hours | none this month | $0 |
| Tolls and parking | at actual cost | at cost |
| Month total | before tolls and parking | $28,680 |
Had they needed 126 hours that month, the extra 6 hours would have been 6 x $235 = $1,410 on top. Had they used only 110 hours, the unused 10 hours would not carry forward.
A couple flying in for a wedding at a resort near Port Carling books an SUV Business with the chauffeur staying for the weekend: Friday from Pearson to the resort, a Saturday shuttle to the ceremony and back, and Sunday back to the airport. The whole job is out of town.
| Line | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Friday: Pearson to Muskoka | 5 hours x $277.50 | $1,387.50 |
| Saturday: local driving | 4 hours x $277.50 | $1,110 |
| Sunday: Muskoka to Pearson | 5 hours x $277.50 | $1,387.50 |
| Extra kilometres | Fri 230 km and Sun 230 km: 80 + 80 = 160 km x $4 | $640 |
| Travel allowance | flat, out-of-town job | $100 |
| Chauffeur's hotel | 2 nights, at the room's actual cost | at cost |
| Total | before hotel, tolls and parking | $4,625 |
For the route, see Pearson to the Muskoka resorts. Booking well ahead for wedding weekends in summer is wise, as resort-area hotel rooms for the chauffeur go fast.
We do not quote competitors' prices, because they change daily and vary by app, time and surge; anything we printed here would be wrong by next week. The comparison that matters is qualitative.
A chauffeur is not the cheapest way to travel 10 km, and we would not argue otherwise. It becomes good value when the car must wait, when the day has five stops, when the time in the back seat is worth working, or when reliability matters more than the lowest fare.
Everything a typical client needs is in the hourly figure: the chauffeur, the car, its fuel, cleaning and maintenance, the taxes, and the 20% gratuity. The only things billed separately are the at-cost items (407 tolls, parking, Wi-Fi), extra kilometres over 150 a day with our cars, and on out-of-town jobs the hotel and the $100 travel allowance. Special vehicles, the 14-seat Executive Sprinter, the Jet Sprinter, coaches, Rolls-Royce and Maybach, and armored SUVs, are quoted per itinerary; see Jet Sprinter and coach hire for group travel. Every chauffeur we send, in any of these vehicles, is licensed under the City of Toronto's vehicle-for-hire rules.
For a single day, enter the pickup, the hours and the vehicle in the booker and the all-in price appears before you pay. For a monthly or yearly program, or anything out of town with nights away, send the dates, addresses, passenger count and vehicle class and you will get one written quote using the arithmetic above. Corporate clients who want a monthly invoice by cost centre can open an account through our corporate page.
Hourly rates in Canadian dollars, all-in: taxes and 20% gratuity included. 150 km a day is included; tolls, parking and in-car Wi-Fi are billed at actual cost. Monthly blocks of 40, 80, 120 or 220 hours use the same hourly rate. How every rate works →

Any dedicated, long-term or high-profile booking from Pearson or anywhere in the GTA can run under a signed non-disclosure agreement. We already work that way for:
Ministers, officials and their staffConsuls general and visiting delegationsCelebrities and public figuresAthletes, coaches and team staffMusicians, artists and touring crewsExecutives, boards and family offices
Send us your non-disclosure agreement or ask for ours; it is signed before a passenger name, a flight number or a hotel reaches dispatch. Every chauffeur and coordinator on the account signs a personal confidentiality undertaking as well.
The assigned chauffeur, a named backup and your account coordinator are the only people who can open the itinerary. A code name can stand in for the passenger on the booking, the sign and the invoice.
Chauffeurs never photograph, film, post or repeat anything about a passenger, a route, a hotel or a meeting, during the job or after it. A breach ends that chauffeur's work with us.
Private-aviation terminals, hotel service entrances, loading docks and underground garages are agreed in advance. The cars carry no company markings, and a name board appears only if you ask for one.
Criminal-record and driving-record checks before the first assignment and again at renewal, Toronto vehicle-for-hire licensing, and briefings on protocol, defensive driving and high-profile passengers.
Trip records stay with your account team only as long as the agreement and the law require, and leave it only with your written consent or where the law compels disclosure.
Every program uses the same chauffeurs, the same cars and the same all-in hourly rates. Compare them:
The chauffeur-only service, where a professional drives your own car, costs $95 an hour with a 4-hour minimum within the city, so the shortest booking is $380. With one of our cars, the lowest rate is the business sedan at $155 an hour, taxes and 20% gratuity included, with 150 km a day included.
Yes. Every hourly rate, monthly block and quote is all-in: taxes and 20% gratuity included. Nothing is added at the end of the job for the chauffeur. Only 407 tolls, parking and Wi-Fi are passed on at actual cost, plus extra kilometres and the out-of-town allowances where they apply.
A 10-hour day within the city costs $1,550 in a business sedan, $1,850 in an SUV Business, $2,350 in an SUV First and $2,850 in a first-class sedan. With your own car it is $950. Up to 150 km is included; tolls and parking are billed at actual cost.
The hourly rate rises by 50% when the job leaves the city: $232.50 for a business sedan up to $427.50 for a first-class sedan, and $142.50 for chauffeur only. A $100 flat travel allowance is added, plus the chauffeur's hotel for any night away. Extra kilometres beyond 150 a day apply on our cars.
No. Monthly blocks of 40, 80, 120 or 220 hours use exactly the same hourly rates as single bookings. What you gain is reserved capacity, the same chauffeur wherever possible and one monthly invoice. A 40-hour business-sedan month is $6,200; a 220-hour month is $34,100.
They expire at the end of the month. Unused hours and kilometres do not roll over, so choose the block that matches your typical month. If you go over the block, the extra hours are billed at the normal hourly rate, so it is often better to choose the smaller block and pay any overtime.
A yearly contract uses the same monthly blocks and the same hourly rates, locked for twelve months. It protects your budget from any rate change during the year. The other terms of the arrangement, including how changes to the block are handled, are set out in the written agreement.
Each day includes 150 km with our cars. Beyond that, extra kilometres cost $3 each in a business sedan, $4 in an SUV Business or SUV First, and $8 in a first-class sedan. On the chauffeur-only service with your own car, kilometres are never charged.
No. The 14-seat Executive Sprinter, the Jet Sprinter, minicoaches and 55-seat motorcoaches are quoted per itinerary, as are Rolls-Royce and Maybach cars and armored SUVs. Send the dates, addresses and head count and you will get one fixed, all-in quote, with taxes and gratuity included.
For a single short ride, a rideshare is usually cheaper. A chauffeur by the hour is better value when the car must wait, when there are several stops, or when you want the same price at rush hour as at midday. For simple airport runs, our flat-rate transfers are the closer comparison.
