FH, thanks a lot for all the detailed info, as ever you have again loaded me with plenty of options to work around with, that's great. But I guess none of them is an Air Port Service, they all sound private. I have read somewhere that private cabs are not allowed to pick passengers from the air port, though they are free to drop offcourse. For going out of air port to your destination, you ought to avail transport being operated under air port ground transport services, I think there are few working with different names. Please correct me if I said something wrong. Thanks
FH, I am so grateful to you for your time and concern that you always show to solve our issues. Picture is quite clear to me now. Based on the links that you provided earlier. I talked to few private service providers and one of them has shown consent to pick me up for CAD60. He says that he just hold the regular Ontario license and that's all. Probably in other words he may just come as a friend to pick me up, would that be fine ! Should I avail his services ! Actually there is a caution posted on Pearson international web site in the taxis and limos section, which says "Passengers are advised not to hire drivers soliciting inside the terminals or asking guests to follow them to the parking garage or any other location due to safety reasons."
I am more concerned about the legality of availing such private services rather than safety, if there is nothing illegal in moving with these private service providers, I think no harm in saving few bucks
If you are more concerned about legality, there is nothing illegal if a "friend" comes to airport to pick you up.
It is always good to plan ahead, but you are fretting too much. Don't worry, you will make it to your place in Mississuaga in one piece.
I paid for a seat in one of those vans that are hovering around the Airport, seven years ago. I think it was 50 (or 70) bucks to my doorstep in Waterloo(two hour drive from Mississuaga). Two pieces of baggage per person.
You could rent an entire van for that price and get dropped off at your doorstep in Mississuaga. Don't worry about "legality" of these services too much. This is one of those grey areas which is normal and accepted(they have arrangements with the Limo companies as well).
You may book online or through phone , follow this website - (i use them, 2 -3 times a month, very reliable )
