The chauffeur's time, in detail
A Pearson fare buys four hours of the chauffeur's day - two out, two back empty - and an in-city fare the run and the return to the base; the hourly rate buys the clock from the first pickup to the last drop; the chauffeur service article has what the time is spent on.
The vehicle, in detail
Black, unbranded, late-model, detailed inside and out before every booking, winter tires from November to April, all-wheel drive on the SUVs, the pre-trip check recorded at the start of each shift, and the commercial insurance's limits under the Highway Traffic Act; the fleet page has each class and the City of London's by-law the inspection.
The tolls and the airport's fee, in detail
The 407's toll when the chauffeur takes it to save the passenger an hour on a Friday, the bridges' tolls at the border, and Pearson's commercial vehicle access fee on every airport pickup and drop; inside the fare and not on the receipt as a line, and the Pearson page has the run.
The tracking, the waiting and the board, in detail
The flight tracked by the desk's software from its departure airport with the pickup moved without a call, sixty minutes' free waiting after a domestic landing and ninety after an international one and longer when the desk sees a queue, and the board in the hall with the passenger's name; the airport pickup guide has the sequence and the Pearson meet article the halls.
The cabin and the car seats, in detail
Wi-Fi, water, chargers for both connectors, tissues, an umbrella and a blanket in winter; the rear-facing infant seat, the forward-facing seat and the booster fitted before the chauffeur leaves the base at no charge by the child's age and weight; the child seats article has the seats and the pets.
The gratuity, in detail
Inside every figure at the desk's rate and paid to the chauffeur in full, with nothing to add at the door and the receipt saying so; a passenger who wants to recognise exceptional service hands cash or asks the desk; the tipping article has Ontario's custom where it is not included.
The desk and the second car, in detail
The dispatcher on the phone every day at the hours the flights leave, the chauffeur's name and plate the evening before, and a second car sent within minutes when the first breaks down - the best limo service article has the recovery as it went; the contact page has the desk's hours.
What is not inside, in detail
HST at 13 percent shown on the receipt; a stop beyond thirty minutes on a fixed fare billed at the class's hourly rate; waiting at an address beyond the free window billed by the quarter-hour; a cleaning charge after damage or soiling on the terms page's scale, which a passenger who treats the car as a car never sees; the partner fleet's deposit at booking; and the New Year's Eve premium, which the New Year's Eve article has.

Booking it
Any fixed fare is on the reservation engine with everything inside shown before you confirm; the hourly quote with everything inside is one email or call to the desk; the rates page has the tables.
Three questions the desk is asked about what is included
Is water really free? Yes - the bottle in the door, the chargers for both connectors and the Wi-Fi are the cabin's, in every class.
Is the meet at the airport extra? No - the board in the hall is inside every airport fare; a company that charges for the meet is charging for what the fare should include.
Is the return inside a one-way fare? The chauffeur's empty return, yes - the fare buys four hours of the chauffeur's day for a two-hour run; a passenger's return is a second fare. The FAQ has the rest.
The chauffeur's time, in more detail
A Pearson fare's four hours are the run out, the drop, the empty two hours back and the detail before the next booking; an in-city fare's hour is the run and the return to the base; the hourly rate's clock runs from the first pickup to the last drop; the limo rental prices article has the clock.
The vehicle's cost, in more detail
The sedan's, the SUV's and the Sprinter's ownership, the commercial insurance's premium at the limits the Highway Traffic Act and the City of London's by-law require, the maintenance on a schedule, the detail before every booking, the winter tires from November, and the vehicle's replacement on the fleet's cycle; the fleet page has the classes.
The fuel and the tolls, in more detail
The fuel for the whole run both ways at the day's price, the 407's toll when the chauffeur takes it to save the passenger an hour, the bridges' tolls at the border, and Pearson's commercial vehicle access fee on every pickup and drop; the cost guide has the Pearson fare's lines.
The tracking and the waiting, in more detail
The desk's software tracks the flight from its departure airport and moves the pickup with the delay; sixty minutes' waiting after a domestic landing and ninety after an international one are free, and the desk extends the window when it sees a customs queue; at an address the free window is fifteen minutes and the quarter-hours beyond are billed at the hourly rate; the airport pickup guide has the sequence.
The car seats and the cabin, in more detail
The rear-facing infant seat, the forward-facing seat and the booster by the child's age and weight, fitted before the chauffeur leaves the base; the bottle, the chargers, the Wi-Fi, the tissues, the umbrella and the winter blanket; the child seats article has the seats and the pets.
The gratuity and the desk, in more detail
The gratuity at the desk's rate inside every fare and paid to the chauffeur in full; the dispatcher on the phone every day at the hours the flights leave; the second car sent within minutes when the first cannot come; the tipping article has the gratuity and the best limo service article the recovery.
What is not inside, in more detail
HST at 13 percent on the receipt; a stop beyond thirty minutes on a fixed fare at the hourly rate; waiting at an address beyond fifteen minutes by the quarter-hour; a cleaning charge after damage or soiling on the terms page's scale; the partner fleet's deposit at booking; the New Year's Eve premium stated at booking; and a passenger's return, which is a second fare.
Booking checklist for the fare
The journey or the hours; the date and the time; the numbers and the bags; the class; the flight number; the car seats; the card or the account. Seven lines on the reservation engine or to the desk and the fare with everything inside is in writing.
The honest summary
One figure on the confirmation with the chauffeur, the vehicle, the fuel, the tolls, the fee, the tracking, the waiting, the board, the cabin, the seats, the gratuity, the desk and the second car inside, and HST, the long stop, the long wait, the cleaning charge, the deposit and the premium outside; the rates page has the tables.
A worked example: the receipt read line by line
A Masonville passenger's Pearson receipt in March: the fare $310; HST $40.30; total $350.30; "gratuity included" on the line beneath; the CRA registration in the footer; and no line for the 407 the chauffeur took at Milton, the airport's fee at the curb, the forty minutes' wait for the delayed flight on the return or the water in the door; the passenger's question to the desk was whether anything had been missed, and the answer was the cost guide's table. The Pearson page has the run.
The desk's rule of thumb
One figure with everything inside; HST added; a long stop, a long wait, a cleaning charge, a deposit and the New Year's Eve premium the only additions, each stated; and the receipt saying so. The rates page has the tables.
Booking it, in one line
Any fixed fare is on the reservation engine with everything inside shown before you confirm; the hourly quote is one email or call to the desk.
