Harwood Avenue is Ajax's spine, and if you live along it — or anywhere in the grid between Westney Road and Salem south of Rossland — your Pearson trip starts with a short hop to the 401. The fare for the whole zone is $105, fixed before departure, identical in both directions.
A typical outbound run: the driver collects you, takes Harwood or Bayly to the Westney Road interchange, and merges west. The 401 carries the car past Pickering's big-box strip, across the Rouge valley where the highway briefly turns green, then through Scarborough toward the 427 split. Climbing the 427 ramps, Terminal 3 arrives first, Terminal 1 a minute later — the driver drops you on Level 3 at the doors nearest your airline. Off-peak, curb to curb runs about 48 minutes.
Ajax GO on Westney Road South falls inside this zone, which makes the route useful for more than home pickups. Travellers stepping off a Lakeshore East train with luggage regularly book the car from the station rather than backtracking to Union for the UP Express — it saves a transfer and usually half an hour.
On the return, you land, we already know. Your driver monitors YYZ arrivals and is positioned at Terminal 1's lower-level curb or Terminal 3's outer pillars when you emerge, name sign up. The eastbound trip reverses the corridor — 427 down to the 401, east past the Rouge, off at Westney — and the $105 you were quoted going out is what you pay coming home.

About this corridor
What is the fare from central Ajax to Pearson?
$105, covering the Harwood corridor, the streets around Ajax GO Station, Bayly, and the residential grid between Westney and Salem below Rossland Road. HST sits inside that number, and the homebound trip from Pearson prices identically. The figure is confirmed in writing when you book and does not drift afterward — the only possible add-on is a 407 ETR toll, and only if you ask for that route.
Can I get collected at Ajax GO Station?
Any day, any train. Ajax GO on Westney Road South is a standard pickup point in the central zone — meet the car at the kiss-and-ride loop and you are on the 401 within five minutes. Plenty of customers do this instead of riding through to Union and doubling back on the UP Express, especially with more than one bag.
When should the car come for an 8 AM flight?
Around 5:30 AM for a domestic departure. That allows the standard 48-minute run plus the airline's suggested two hours at the terminal. Flying international? Push it to 5:00 so the extra document and security time is covered. At those hours the 401 is empty enough that drivers routinely beat the estimate.
