Meeting Passengers

“No Parking” Areas

When dropping off or picking up passengers at Toronto Pearson, you may stop momentarily on the curbside of the Arrivals and Departures levels. Please note that you may not park along the terminal curbs for any length of time, or leave your vehicle unattended. Toronto Pearson has designated Traffic Officers who will ensure there is no parking curbside.

In addition, no parking is permitted along the airport roadways leading to the terminals. This helps to ensure safety for drivers using the roadways.

Cell Phone Lot

If you have arranged to pick up passengers by car and are waiting for them to arrive at the airport, we invite you to park at the GTAA’s new Cell Phone Lot. This short-term parking area provides motorists with a safe and legal location to stop their vehicles while waiting for passengers to call for a ride. The Cell Phone Lot has parking spaces for 50 vehicles, and allows a maximum wait time of 60 minutes.

The Cell Phone Lot is located just north of the airport on Network Drive, between Highway 409 and American Drive (see map).

Note: Vehicles must be turned off and attended at all times. The lot is monitored and violators will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.

Other Parking Options

Additional long- and short-term parking is available at the terminals and at the GTAA’s Reduced Rate Parking Lot. Parking in these locations will allow you to accompany passengers to the check-in counters, or wait for friends and family in the airport. Click here for locations and fees.

Greeting Areas

When greeting passengers arriving at Toronto Pearson, we recommend making arrangements to meet in the arrivals level of both terminals, just outside of the baggage claim area for domestic or international passengers.
