Booking (What You Need, What Happens)

Booking your first airport limo is simpler than ordering food online. You do not need to be a frequent flyer, and you do not need to memorize a long checklist. 

  • Go to the booking page. enter your pickup address, dropoff (airport), and your flight number. This helps the driver track your arrival. 
  • Choose your vehicle.use the short guide (sedan for 1–3, SUV for 4–6, van for 6–8) to pick the right size. 
  • See your flat rate .confirm that the price is locked and that there are no extra addons hidden in the corner. 
  • Enter payment details .your card is stored but not charged until after the ride is complete.             
  • Receive confirmation. you get an email and SMS within 30 seconds, with your price, driver deadline, and main contact details.               
  • your exact pickup address,
  • your flight number,
  • the number of passengers,
  • and whether you need an airport limo with car seat.
Key point
“You don’t need to do anything after you book. We track everything, and your driver adapts to your flight automatically.”

Before Your Pickup Day

For departures: your driver arrives at your pickup address at the confirmed time. For arrivals: your driver dispatches based on your flight’s actual landing time — not the scheduled time. Delays are handled automatically.

On Pickup Day (Departures)

Here is exactly what you can expect in a standard airport limo booking. 

  • On-Time Door-to-Terminal Service—Your driver arrives at the confirmed time, assists with luggage, and takes you directly to the correct departure terminal.
  • Comfortable & Stress-Free RidRelax in a clean, climate-controlled vehicle while your driver handles traffic, routing, and airport timing.
  • Luggage Assistance IncludedYour bags are loaded and unloaded for you, making the journey from your doorstep to the terminal effortless.
  • Traffic Monitoring & Route PlanningDrivers use live traffic data and may recommend an earlier pickup time to help ensure a smooth airport arrival.       
Indoor meet & greet — always

Unlike rideshare pickup zones that leave you standing in the cold at the curb, all hopn drivers meet you inside the terminal. Included in every booking at no extra charge.

““My driver arrived exactly on time, helped with all my luggage, and got me to the terminal without any stress. The entire ride felt smooth, comfortable, and professionally handled from start to finish.””
— — Michael R., Toronto (Google Review)

On Arrival Day (Arrivals Being Picked Up From the Airport)

This is the moment firsttime riders worry about the most: Where do I go when I land? The answer is simple, but it needs to be spelled out clearly. 

  •  In Terminal 1 (T1):—your driver waits inside the arrivals hall at Pillar 2 with a name sign. 
  • In Terminal 3 (T3):—you look for them at Pillar D, still inside arrivals. At Billy Bishop: your driver waits at the ferry terminal entrance on the mainland side.
  • Check your SMS the —driver’s direct number is there, along with the exact meetup spot. 
  • Call the driver.  — most will find you in under two minutes once they know your location.
  • Call 24/7 support— the hopn team can help you locate your driver if needed.

    The sign is usually white or digital, with your last name in clear letters, and your driver is watching the exit doors and baggage claim area for you. 

    Once you meet, they take your bags, walk you to the car, and you are on the road — no circling the terminal, no uncertain phone calls.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your ride

What If I Can't Find My Driver At Pearson?

Go to your confirmed meeting point first — T1 at Pillar 2, or T3 at Pillar D. Your driver will be holding a clear name sign. If you still cannot locate them, call the number in your SMS confirmation — they will find you within two minutes. 

Tipping is not required or expected. If you feel the service was excellent, 10–15% is appreciated, but it is never added automatically. 

You receive your driver’s name, photo, and live location link about 60 minutes before pickup. You can see their car moving toward you on the map, so you do not have to guess.
