Prices, comparisons & how it works · 2026-09-21 · 8-minute read
An airport shuttle from London, Ontario to Pearson is either a seat on a shared shuttle - a scheduled van or minibus from a London stop to the terminals with the other passengers' stops and the towns on the way, three to four hours in practice, at a per-seat fare on the shuttle's site, a luggage limit and a last run - or a private vehicle from LondonLimo.net at a fixed fare for the vehicle: a business sedan for three at $295-345 plus HST, an executive SUV for six at $345-395, a fourteen-seat Sprinter at $545-645, two hours door to terminal with the flight tracked, the board on the return and the gratuity inside. Per person the shared seat wins for one traveller with a bag and time; the private car is close for two, wins for four and wins clearly for a group of ten in the Sprinter at $55-65 a head; the comparison guide does the table, and this article is the shuttle's arithmetic per person, honestly.
Shared against private, side by side
| The shared shuttle | The private car | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Per seat, on the shuttle's site | Per vehicle, fixed: $295-345 sedan, $345-395 SUV, $545-645 Sprinter |
| Time, door to terminal | 3-4 h with the stops, the schedule and the taxi to the stop | 2 h |
| Departure | The schedule's | Yours |
| Pickup | The shuttle's London stop, or a fee for the door on some | Your door |
| Stops | The other passengers' and the towns' | None, or yours |
| Luggage | One or two cases per seat by the rule | 3, 6 or 12 cases by class |
| The return | The curbside stop on the schedule | The board in the hall; the flight tracked; 60-90 min free |
| The midnight arrival | The last scheduled run, or none | The chauffeur in the hall |
| The winter | The schedule | Winter tires; leaves earlier |
| Best for | One traveller, one bag, time to spare | Two or more, luggage, a fixed departure, a group |

The shared shuttle, honestly
A scheduled van or minibus from a London stop - a hotel's lot, a mall, a downtown corner - with a departure every few hours, the other passengers collected at their stops, the towns on the 401 served on some runs, the terminals in turn, and the return from the terminals' curbside stop on the schedule; a seat is the cheapest way for one traveller with a bag and a flexible afternoon, and the bus article has the coaches beside it.
The private car, honestly
The vehicle at your door at your hour, no stops but yours, the cases the class carries, two hours to the terminal's curb, and on the return the chauffeur in the hall with the board, the flight tracked and the waiting free; the Pearson page has the run and the cost guide the fare line by line.
The arithmetic per person
One traveller: one shuttle seat against the sedan's $295-345 - the seat wins on money. Two: two seats and the taxi to the stop against one sedan - close, and the car wins on the hour and the door. Four with luggage: four seats, the luggage rule and the taxi against one SUV at $345-395 - $86-99 a head - the car wins. Ten: ten seats against the Sprinter at $545-645 - $55-65 a head with twelve cases - the car wins clearly, and the group transportation page has the manifest.
The corporate group and the hockey team
A company's eight to a Pearson flight in the Sprinter from the office's lot at 5 a.m. on the corporate account; a minor hockey team's twelve players and coaches with the bags to a Pearson flight for a tournament; a Western department's visitors met at Pearson in a Sprinter with the board; the bus trips article has the team and the corporate visitors article the delegates.
The midnight arrival
The shared shuttle's last run from Pearson has gone before the red-eye lands, and a family at Terminal 3 at 12:40 a.m. with five cases wants the chauffeur in the hall and the SUV at the curb; the red-eye article has the midnight.
The winter
The shuttle runs its schedule when the 401 allows and cancels when it does not; the private car leaves thirty minutes earlier on winter tires with the cameras watched; on the day the OPP closes the highway neither moves and the train does; the winter article has the rules.
When the shared seat is the right buy
One traveller with one bag, a flexible afternoon departure, a terminal drop and no meet needed on the return, and a fare on the shuttle's site that is a third of the sedan's; the desk says so and the every option article prices all eight ways.
Three shuttle decisions, as passengers made them
A student to a Tuesday afternoon flight. The shared seat from the downtown stop; the desk had suggested it.
A couple to a Saturday 6 a.m. flight. The sedan at 3:45; the shuttle's first run would not have made the flight.
A team of twelve to a tournament flight, a Thursday. The Sprinter from the arena's lot at 4:30 a.m. with the bags, $600, $50 a head.
Booking it
The private car is on the reservation engine in seconds with the flight number; the shuttle's seat is on its site; the desk gives the honest recommendation and the Pearson page has the run.
Three questions the desk is asked about the shuttles
Which shuttle companies run to Pearson? The shared operators publish their stops, schedules and fares on their own sites, and the Pearson shuttle article names them; the desk does not sell their seats.
Can the private car pick up several addresses? Yes - two or three pickups on one run for a group, with the desk planning the order; the group transportation page has the manifest.
Is the Sprinter's fare per person? Per vehicle - $545-645 for fourteen - and the organiser splits it; the FAQ has the rest.
The shared shuttle, in detail
The scheduled van or minibus from a London stop with departures through the day, the other passengers' stops, the towns on the 401 on some runs, the terminals in turn, and the return's curbside stop on the schedule; the seat's fare on the operator's site, a luggage rule of one or two cases per seat, and a last run that leaves the terminals before the red-eyes land.
The private car, in detail
The class booked at the door at the hour booked, the cases the class carries, the 401 driven every day, the terminal's curb by the carrier, and the return's board in the hall with the flight tracked and sixty or ninety minutes free; the Pearson page has the run and the airport pickup guide the sequence.
The per-person sums, in a table
| Travellers | The shared seats | The private car | Per person, private |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One seat | Sedan, $295-345 | $295-345 |
| 2 | Two seats plus the taxi to the stop | Sedan, $295-345 | $148-173 |
| 4 with luggage | Four seats, the luggage rule, the taxi | SUV, $345-395 | $86-99 |
| 6 with luggage | Six seats and two taxis | SUV, $345-395 | $58-66 |
| 10 | Ten seats | Sprinter, $545-645 | $55-65 |
| 14 | Fourteen seats | Sprinter, $545-645 | $39-46 |

The corporate group, in detail
Eight from a Wellington Road office to a Pearson flight in the Sprinter at 5 a.m. on the corporate account with one invoice, or a company's visitors met at Pearson in the Sprinter with the board and the corporate visitors article's week in London.
The team, in detail
Twelve players and coaches with the hockey bags in the Sprinter's back from the arena's lot at 4:30 a.m., the terminal's curb, and the return met with the board; the bus trips article has the coach for a larger team and the group transportation page the manifest.
The students' exodus, in detail
The shared Sprinter the desk runs to Pearson at the December and April exodus from the residences - a seat rather than a car for a student flying home - and the international student article has the parent's booking from abroad.
The midnight and the winter, in detail
The shuttle's last run gone before the red-eye, the chauffeur in the hall for the booked car; the shuttle's schedule cancelled in a squall, the booked car on winter tires leaving earlier; the train on the day the 401 closes; the winter article has the rules and the red-eye article the midnight.
Booking checklist for the shuttle decision
The numbers and the cases; the flight's time; the pickup or the pickups; the return flight; the class; the account or the card. Six lines to the desk and the honest recommendation comes back the same day, or the fixed fare on the reservation engine in seconds.
The honest summary
The shared seat for one with a bag and time; the private car close for two, ahead for four and clear for ten at $55-65 a head; the Pearson page has the run and the comparison guide the table.
A worked example: the department's visitors
A Western department's six visiting scholars landing at Pearson on three flights across a Tuesday afternoon: the desk sent one Sprinter with the board to Terminal 1 at 2, held it through the 3:10 and the 4:25 arrivals with the waiting inside the hourly booking, and drove the six to the Delta at 4:45 for $160 an hour across five hours, $800 plus HST - $133 a head - against six shuttle seats at three different departure times and six taxis to the hotel; the department's account held the invoice and the corporate visitors article has the pattern.
The desk's rule of thumb
The shared seat for one with a bag and time; the sedan for two; the SUV for four with luggage; the Sprinter for ten or more or for several arrivals on one afternoon; the board in the hall on the return; and the train on the day the highway closes. The Pearson page has the run.
Booking it, in one line
The private car is on the reservation engine in seconds with the flight number; the group's Sprinter is one email to the desk with the flights and the numbers.
The luggage rule, honestly
A shared shuttle's seat carries one or two cases by the operator's rule and a third is a question at the stop; the sedan carries three, the SUV six and the Sprinter twelve, with the ski bags, the golf clubs and the hockey bags on the fleet page's list; a family of four with five cases and a stroller is a family the shuttle's rule was not written for, and the Pearson return article has the family's run. Pearson's own site lists the shuttle operators' curbside stops by terminal.
