Driving to Waterloo: From
the airport you will need to drive to Waterloo. You may rent a
car (see driving directions below) or use a shuttle service.
Shuttle to Waterloo: The
shuttle service is provided by Airways transit http://www.airwaystransit.com/.
You can find their desks in terminals one and three of Pearson
Airport. You must make a reservation so that they expect you.
Rate is approx. $72.00 one way. Please see their website for more
information.
Please note that the shuttle service will insist on delivering
you to the airport at the recommended time: 90 minutes before
departure for flights within Canada and 2hr for flights to the
US. Consequently, you might have to leave Waterloo well ahead
of your departure time (3-4 hours, depending also on traffic on
Highway 401).
