Limo to the airport....

[BitsnBearsMom]

has anyone taked a limo TO the airport? Looking at going from Etobicoke area to YYZ - thought it'd be cool for the kids and mil (yes we include her with the kids )

Who did you use and is the quote of $115 for a stretch SUV limo reasonable? It's about a 25 min drive to the airport from the IL's house where we'll be staying the night before.

October 8th - we fly out of YYZ at 10:20am on Westjet - $347 PP taxes in! Didn't really want to pay that much for airfare and I wanted to leave from Buffalo but dh insisted we get non stop from TO to make sure fil has a good flight. Mil (the big kid) wants the limo and when we look at the $47 per week for parking X 2 cars makes more sense to take airport transport - unless someone knows a cheaper way to park. We could take a van - mil was quoted $50 or so for all 6 of us but SHE wants the limo - for the kids she says

I've never taken an SUV limo or stretch to Toronto airport. We have a guy we've been using for years but he has a Black Town Car.

The weird thing is that in other cities it's so much easier and cheap to get a stretch limo. Everytime I go to Chicago I call a certain company and always get a stretch for a great flat rate price. At Vancouver airport they are readily available and I even got one from a hotel without even requesting it. Yet here we don't seem to have a big fleet of them.

There are 6 of us plus I'm sure mil will have at least that many suitcases so the town car wouldn't work. We need either the van or the limo. seems a tad expensive to me but do I care if she's willing to pay??

We always do. My Mom travels alot as she is retired, and the whole family has started to use a limo service that she uses.
The one we use is a family run business and really resonable.
I live in the east end, more than your 25 minutes away and he charges me 50.00 bucks. So I would imagine yours would be cheaper.
Last year when I took my son to Disney, all the cars were busy and we lucked out and got a stretch with a bar and tv for the same as a town car. For for son who at the time was 4 and a car fanatic seeing a BMW stretch was priceless.
I would be happy to provide you with the number if you wish. Just let me know.
Send a pm

Sounds a bit steep.
We take a stretch limo from Oshawa to YYZ and its $115.
(BTW.....I think it would be less than 25 mins because we are 45 mins from Oshawa)

Ok so who do you use?

Mil has had a few quotes so far and $115 seems to be the cheapest with $150 being the most expensive. Not sure who she's contacted but I will have to find out.

Are you also planning on the limo for your trip home after your holiday?

We use Fifeshire. But it wouldn't be any cheaper for you because he is based out of Oshawa.
