How much is a van or bus from Burlington to Pearson Airport?
A Sprinter van from Burlington to Pearson starts at $225 for up to 14 riders, a minibus at $330 for up to 24, and a full coach at $510 for up to 56. Those are whole-vehicle flat rates, not per person: a full minibus works out to about $16 a rider and a full coach to about $10. Your exact written quote depends on the date, the pickup address, and the vehicle, and it never changes after you approve it.
We also serve Aldershot and Kilbride from this page, on the same flat rates.
| Trip | Sprinter van (10 to 14) | Minibus (20 to 24) | Coach (40 to 56) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burlington to Pearson Airport | from $225 | from $330 | from $510 |
| Burlington to Niagara Falls | from $320 | from $465 | from $675 |
Every rate includes the driver, fuel, and highway tolls. HST shows as its own line on the quote. A midsize bus with 30 to 36 seats prices between the minibus and the coach.
Pickup times that make the flight
The math works backwards from the departure: check-in deadline, then the drive, then a traffic cushion. From Burlington the drive is about 43 to 58 minutes and we add a 25-minute buffer. Here is what that produces for common departure times.
| Flight departs Pearson | International pickup (3h check-in) | Domestic pickup (2h check-in) |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00 am | 1:52 am | 2:52 am |
| 9:00 am | 4:52 am | 5:52 am |
| 1:00 pm | 8:52 am | 9:52 am |
| 6:00 pm | 1:52 pm | 2:52 pm |
These are planning figures. Your confirmation lists the exact agreed time, tuned for the day of week, and yes, the vehicle really is there at that hour. Sunrise departures from Burlington are routine work for our drivers.
The drive: Burlington to Toronto Pearson
From Burlington the airport leg follows the QEW and 407. Count on about 43 to 58 minutes, more in the peaks. We set the pickup time backwards from your check-in deadline, add a traffic buffer, and text you the schedule the day before, so the only thing your group does in the morning is board.
Coming home, the same vehicle meets your flight. We track the arrival, so a delay costs you nothing, and the driver waits inside arrivals with a name sign while your group clears customs and collects bags.
Burlington to Niagara Falls by van or bus
The falls sit about 80 km from Burlington, about 1h06 to 1h26 hours each way, and a private vehicle starts at $320 for the round-trip day. Most groups make it a full outing: the falls, lunch, and a winery or two on the way home. If you want the whole day planned as one flat rate, that is exactly what our day trips page covers. Niagara runs carry a small regional permit, listed on your quote, never a surprise.
Which vehicle for your group from Burlington?
Match the headcount to the vehicle and the Burlington run prices itself.
Up to 14 riders: the Sprinter van at $225 flat. With 12 aboard that is about $19 each for a private, door-to-door airport transfer.
15 to 24 riders: the minibus at $330. Full, it costs about $16 a seat, and everyone's luggage rides in the same vehicle.
25 to 36 riders: the midsize bus, quoted between the minibus and coach rates. The right call when a minibus is tight and a coach would ride half empty.
37 to 56 riders: the full coach at $510, about $10 per rider when full, with a washroom on board for the longer legs. Over 56, we send two vehicles and coordinate both.

Landing at Pearson, heading home to Burlington
On the return leg, the plan survives real airports. Flight lands late? We saw it coming. Bags slow? The wait is included.

Booking from Burlington without the phone tag
The quote form takes about two minutes: date, headcount, pickup address, destination. A person, not an autoresponder, prices it and replies, usually within the hour during the day. Prefer talking? The phone number at the top reaches dispatch directly. Either way you end up with the same thing: one written price and a confirmed vehicle before you pay anything.
Halton, Guelph and area note: Halton and the Guelph corridor balance small-town pickups with quick 401 access. Escarpment weddings and campus runs both come out of this zone weekly.
