Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are readily available, offering door-to-door convenience in thirty to sixty minutes depending on traffic, but at a higher cost. Car rentals are available at the airport but are not ideal for central Toronto due to parking challenges and congestion. Most travelers prefer the UP Express for its speed and efficiency."
