How to Apply for a Pearson Toronto Airport Taxi and Limo License

How to Apply for a Pearson Toronto Airport Taxi and Limo License

Operating a limousine or taxi service from Pearson Toronto Airport can be a lucrative business, but it requires strict adherence to the regulations set by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA). Obtaining a “License to Operate” (LTO) is mandatory for companies directly contracted to offer services to Pearson Airport tenants. However, pre-arranged transportation companies, such as Pearson Airport Limousine and Taxi Service, may operate legally under separate regulations and are not subject to GTAA licensing rules.

This guide outlines the LTO application process and clarifies the distinct operational guidelines for pre-arranged services. Our company operates legally outside GTAA-contracted regulations, ensuring compliance while maintaining high service standards.

For official requirements, visit the License to Operate Application page.

Step 1: Determine Your Licensing Requirements

Who Needs an LTO?

An LTO is required for businesses that:

• Are contracted to provide services to GTAA tenants.
• Operate directly from Pearson Airport terminals or grounds.
• Transport goods or services within GTAA-controlled areas.

Who Doesn’t Need an LTO?

Pre-arranged providers, like Pearson Airport Limousine and Taxi Service, do not require an LTO. These providers operate under separate regulations, offering top-quality pre-arranged transportation services without direct contracts with GTAA tenants.

Step 2: How to Apply for an LTO

If your company requires an LTO, follow these steps:

1. Complete the Application Form

• Obtain the License to Operate Application Form from the GTAA website.
• Fill out all sections accurately to avoid delays.

2. Prepare Supporting Documents

Required documents include:

• Authorization Letters: Signed letters permitting your operation.
• Certificate of Insurance:
  • Additional Insured Clause: Must include “C/o Greater Toronto Airports Authority, Toronto Pearson International Airport.”
  • Coverage Amounts:
    • Commercial General Liability:

    • Automobile Insurance:

      • $2 million per occurrence for other transactions.
  • Validity: At least six months from the LTO start date.

Step 4: Renewal Applications

For renewals, the process mirrors the original application:

• Our business model ensures legal compliance while maintaining high service standards.

Why Choose Pearson Airport Limousine & Taxi Service?
