Gorillaz Scotiabank Arena Toronto Transportation
Gorillaz bring The Mountain Tour to Scotiabank Arena on Sunday October 4, 2026, with a 7:30 PM start and two acts before them, Little Simz and Deltron 3030. Three names on the bill means a long night that ends on a work night. Book a drop-off and a pick-up from approximately $185 each way, or hold the chauffeur by the hour.
Gorillaz Scotiabank Arena transportation rates
Three acts makes this one of the longer nights on the arena calendar, which pushes more groups toward the hourly product than a single-support show would. Both are below, and your quote always says which one you are being priced on.
By the trip: drop-off and pick-up rates
Both legs are booked and held together, so the chauffeur who dropped you off is the one who collects you. Nothing reprices at 11 PM on the night before a working week.
1 to 2 passengers – the smallest booking
Sedan
Lexus ES or Cadillac XTS, within the GTA. A pair or a solo rider. It seats two, so four people need the SUV rather than a stretched assumption about the back seat.
3 to 6 passengers – the common correction
Executive SUV
Lincoln Navigator, within the GTA. Four adults with jackets need this rather than the sedan, and the step up buys four more seats and the boot space with them.
Up to 6 passengers – the same six, a different arrival
Cadillac Escalade
Escalade ESV, within the GTA. Six seats again, used when the evening is being marked rather than just attended.
7 to 14 passengers – the friend group
Regular Sprinter
One vehicle instead of three, within the GTA. One pickup for the whole group instead of three cars converging on the same corner in the same minute.
7 to 10 passengers – the flagship
Jet Sprinter
Captain’s chairs and a conference table, within the GTA. Captain’s chairs and ambient lighting, so a long bill starts in the vehicle rather than in a queue. More on our Jet Sprinter page.
From approximately $1,000 covers the Regular Sprinter booked in both directions, which is two $500 legs priced and held together. Transfer prices are approximate, one price per leg within the GTA, set by distance, with no minimum. They include the chauffeur, fuel and insurance. HST at 13% and gratuity of 15 to 20% are added on top.
By the hour: the chauffeur holds through the show
A three-act Sunday is exactly the shape of night this product suits. Dinner before the doors, somewhere to leave jackets and merch through the sets, and several drop-offs on the way home so nobody is finding their own way back at midnight.
The minimum column is not the same rule on every row. Most vehicles carry a minimum spend, a dollar figure billed per trip. The Maybach carries a minimum number of hours instead. Those are two different things and one never converts into the other.
Hourly prices are approximate and include the chauffeur, fuel and insurance for the hours you book. Additional hours are billed at the same hourly rate. HST at 13% and gratuity of 15 to 20% are added on top. Child seats are $25 each and an additional stop is from $30, both shown on your quote before you approve it.
Above fourteen people the hourly product is usually the only one that works, since a group that size arrives and leaves as a unit. The 27-Passenger Mini Bus, the 35-Seat Limousine Bus and the 56-Passenger Coach all book this way.
Why a Sunday concert in Toronto travels differently
Rideshare supply thins out on a Sunday night. Fewer drivers are working, and the ones who are get absorbed by the same nineteen thousand people leaving the arena at once. The wait that would be twenty minutes on a Saturday stretches, and the price moves with it.
Transit thins as well. Later service runs at wider intervals on a Sunday than on a weeknight, which is fine if your route is simple and unhelpful if it involves a connection in the suburbs at half past eleven.
A booked pick-up removes all of that, because the vehicle is already assigned and already nearby. It is the same argument we make for a Saturday show, and it is simply worth more on a Sunday, when there is less to fall back on and work in the morning.
Three acts, one long night: planning around the bill
What that means practically is that the night runs later than a single-support show, and the return leg needs to be booked with that in mind. On a by-the-trip pick-up this costs nothing: the leg is a flat price however long the encore runs. On an hourly booking, add an hour to what you first estimated and remember that time past your confirmed hours bills at the same hourly rate.
Some of the room will arrive late on purpose to skip the openers. That is a legitimate plan and it changes your pickup time rather than your price. Tell us when you actually want to be at the doors and we build the pickup backwards from that.
Scotiabank Arena drop-off and pickup on a Gorillaz night
On a sold-out night the loop stops being a drop-off point and becomes a queue. A driver who does not know that sits in it. A chauffeur who does agrees a meeting point with you before you leave the house, drops you a short walk from the doors, and waits somewhere you can actually reach when the last act finishes.
We set that meeting point at booking, not on the night. You get the exact corner and the driver’s number in writing. If the loop is moving we use it. If it is closed or backed up the alternative is already agreed.
The arena sits at Scotiabank Arena, 40 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2X2, on the northwest corner of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Bay Street, with Union Station to the north and the Maple Leaf Square block to the west. Our Scotiabank Arena concert car service page covers the venue year round rather than one date, and the Teddy Swims show the following night uses the same meeting points.
Parking near Scotiabank Arena on a Sunday night
Sunday street parking rules downtown are looser than a weekday, which tempts people into driving. The catch is the same as any other night: getting out. The garage ramp empties into streets that are already carrying nineteen thousand people on foot, and a late Sunday finish means doing that with work in the morning.
On a group the comparison stops being close. An Executive SUV transfer is approximately $225 each way, so both directions across six people is about $75 each for the whole evening before tax and gratuity, and nobody is the designated driver. A Regular Sprinter return is approximately $1,000 for up to fourteen, roughly $71 each.
What time to arrive for a 7:30 PM Gorillaz show with two openers
From a downtown pickup that usually means leaving 60 to 75 minutes before the start, which is less than a weeknight because there is no commuter peak to clear. From Mississauga, Vaughan or Markham allow 90 minutes. We build the pickup time around your address, not a generic downtown assumption.
You get the exact pickup corner, the driver’s name and number, and the return arrangement in writing. Nothing is decided on the night.
A Sunday leaves later than a weeknight for the same address, because the highways are not carrying a commute.
Enough time for the bag check, merch and your seats. Doors typically open 60 to 90 minutes before showtime.
The vehicle is already staged nearby. On a Sunday that matters more, because there is less rideshare supply behind it.
Group transportation to Scotiabank Arena, by headcount
Up to fourteen people, by the trip is almost always the right answer. A Regular Sprinter return is approximately $1,000 for both directions, which splits across fourteen at roughly $71 each for the whole evening before tax and gratuity.
Above fourteen the hourly product takes over, because a group that size travels as one unit and wants the vehicle held. The table below keeps the two products in separate columns so you can see which one each vehicle is priced on.
Groups arriving from outside the GTA book differently again. A coach or mini bus from Hamilton, Barrie, Kitchener or London runs as a single charter with one pickup and one return, quoted per trip against that route. Our group transportation and shuttle page covers how those charters are put together, and the Phoebe Bridgers dates earlier that same week price the same way.
Getting home after a Sunday night show
With a booking: you text your chauffeur near the end of the set, walk to the meeting point you agreed weeks earlier, and get in. The vehicle has been staged nearby the whole time, so it is not trying to enter the arena district from Lake Shore with everyone else.
Without one: surge pricing on reduced supply, a wait that runs past what you would accept on a Saturday, a pin that keeps moving, and a walk north to find a street that is moving. All of it on the night before the week starts.
A late finish costs you nothing on either product. A by-the-trip pick-up is a flat price for the leg however long the encore runs. On an hourly booking, time past your confirmed hours bills at the same hourly rate, agreed with your chauffeur before it starts rather than added afterwards.
Scotiabank Arena bag policy for concerts
This is a real reason to book a vehicle rather than drive. Anything larger than a small clutch either goes to bag check at $25 an item or goes back to wherever you came from. In a booked vehicle it stays in the car with your chauffeur at no extra cost.
Merch is the same problem, and a three-act bill sells three tables of it. Carrying a record and a hoodie through a post-show crowd to a rideshare pickup is worse than putting them in a vehicle you already have.
Where we pick up across the GTA
Downtown Toronto, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton are routine pickups for a Scotiabank Arena night. Multiple addresses in one booking are normal: send the stop list with the quote request and we build the route and the pickup time around it.
Anyone flying in for the weekend can chain the airport leg onto the same booking. Our airport transportation page covers the arrival side, and the Charli XCX date in September is booked exactly the same way if your autumn has more than one arena night in it.
Gorillaz Scotiabank Arena transportation: questions
How much does transportation to the Gorillaz show at Scotiabank Arena cost?
Two ways to price it. By the trip is from approximately $185 each way for a sedan, $225 for an Executive SUV and $500 for a 14-passenger Regular Sprinter, one flat price per leg within the GTA with no minimum. By the hour is from approximately $175 an hour on the Escalade or the Regular Sprinter. HST at 13% and gratuity of 15 to 20% are added on top of either.
Should I book two transfers or book by the hour for a three-act show?
Two transfers still covers most bookings, because you only need the drop-off and the pick-up. A long bill tips more groups toward hourly, since the vehicle then carries jackets and merch through three sets and handles several drop-offs on the way home.
Is a Sunday night show easier or harder to travel to?
Easier in, harder home. There is no commuter peak at 6 PM on a Sunday, so the drive to the arena is the cleanest of the week. Afterwards there are fewer rideshare drivers working and later transit runs at wider intervals, which is exactly when a pre-booked pick-up pays for itself.
Is there a minimum on a drop-off and pick-up booking?
No. A by-the-trip price is one price per leg, set by distance, with no hour minimum and no dollar floor. Minimums only apply to the hourly product.
What does a return trip cost?
A return is two legs. The published Regular Sprinter return is from approximately $1,000 within the GTA, which is two $500 legs priced and held together. For other vehicles we quote the two legs against your addresses.
What is the minimum on an hourly booking?
It depends on the vehicle, and there are two different kinds. Most carry a minimum spend: the Escalade and the Regular Sprinter are from approximately $525 per trip, the Executive Sprinter from $780, the Jet Sprinter from $1,200, the 27-Passenger Mini Bus from $1,000, the 35-Seat Limousine Bus from $1,400 and the 56-Passenger Coach from $1,800. The Maybach S580 carries a 4 hour minimum instead. Additional hours are billed at the same hourly rate.
What time does the Gorillaz show start at Scotiabank Arena?
7:30 PM on Sunday October 4, 2026, on The Mountain Tour, with Little Simz and Deltron 3030 playing before them. We build your pickup so you arrive 45 to 60 minutes before the show.
What time do doors open?
Scotiabank Arena does not publish a doors time for each event. Its general guidance is that doors open 60 to 90 minutes before showtime, so arriving 45 to 60 minutes ahead clears security and merch comfortably.
With two opening acts, what time will Gorillaz actually be on?
Neither the arena nor the tour publishes a set time, so we do not print one. Plan for a long night and book the return with that in mind. A by-the-trip pick-up is a flat price for the leg however late it runs, so a long bill costs you nothing on that product.
Can we arrive late and skip the openers?
Yes, and it changes your pickup time rather than your price. Tell us when you want to be at the doors and we build the pickup backwards from that.
Where does the driver drop us off at Scotiabank Arena?
The arena’s own zone is the Bremner Boulevard traffic loop by Gates 5 and 6. That loop congests before and after events and can close to all traffic except Wheel-Trans, so we agree an alternate meeting point with you at booking and use whichever is actually moving.
On a drop-off and pick-up booking, where is the driver during the show?
Not waiting for you, because you have not booked the vehicle for those hours. The pick-up leg is scheduled and the same chauffeur returns for it. You text near the end of the set and walk to the meeting point you were given in writing at booking.
What happens if the show runs late?
On a by-the-trip pick-up, nothing. It is a flat price for the leg however long the encore runs. On an hourly booking, time past your confirmed hours bills at the same hourly rate, agreed with your chauffeur before it starts.
Which vehicle should a couple book?
The sedan at approximately $185 each way. It seats two. If there are four of you, the Executive SUV at approximately $225 each way is the correction we make most often.
Which vehicle should a group of ten book?
The Regular Sprinter, 7 to 14 seats, from approximately $500 each way or approximately $1,000 as a return. Across ten people that return works out near $100 each for the whole evening before tax and gratuity.
What if our group is bigger than 14?
Above fourteen the hourly product takes over. The 27-Passenger Mini Bus is approximately $250 an hour from a $1,000 minimum spend, and the 35-Seat Limousine Bus is approximately $250 an hour from a $1,400 minimum spend.
How much is the Jet Sprinter for this show?
By the trip, from approximately $1,000 each way for 7 to 10 passengers. By the hour it is approximately $300 an hour from a $1,200 minimum spend. It is the flagship cabin, with captain’s chairs and a conference table.
How far in advance should I book for this show?
Two to four weeks is comfortable for a sedan or SUV transfer. Book six to eight weeks ahead for a Sprinter, mini bus or the 35-Seat Limousine Bus. Early October is dense with arena dates, so the group vehicles go first.
Is a booking cheaper than parking and driving?
For one couple, no, and we will not pretend otherwise against a $50 parking spot. For a group it wins outright: an Executive SUV both ways is about $75 each across six people, nobody is the designated driver, and you skip the exit ramp entirely.
How does the price compare to rideshare after a Sunday show?
Worse than a Saturday for rideshare, better for us. Fewer drivers work Sunday nights, so surge bites harder and the wait runs longer. Your pick-up leg is a fixed price agreed before you left home.
Can we be picked up from more than one address?
Yes. Send the full stop list when you request the quote and we build the route and the pickup time around it. An additional stop is from $30.
Do you pick up outside downtown Toronto?
Yes. Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough are all routine pickups for a Scotiabank Arena night. By-the-trip prices are set by distance from your pickup address.
Can we book dinner before the show and the arena after?
Yes, and that is an hourly booking rather than two transfers, because the vehicle is with you between the stops. The Escalade is approximately $175 an hour from a $525 minimum spend.
What is the bag policy at Scotiabank Arena?
Only bags smaller than about 16.5 by 11.5 centimetres get in. Bag check is $25 an item at the galleria across from Gate 1. On an hourly booking anything larger stays in the vehicle with your chauffeur at no extra cost.
Where is Scotiabank Arena?
40 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2X2, on the northwest corner of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Bay Street, next to Union Station.
Is there accessible parking and accessible boarding?
The arena has four accessible spaces on site, and Fan Services takes accessible parking requests at (416) 815-5982. Tell us at booking if anyone needs accessible boarding and we set the meeting point to match.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, $25 each, fitted in advance with ages given at booking.
What is included in the price?
The chauffeur, the vehicle, fuel and insurance, on both products. HST at 13% and gratuity of 15 to 20% are added on top and shown on your quote before you approve it.
Can a company book this for a client group?
Yes, on invoicing rather than a card at the kerb. Client groups usually book by the hour so the vehicle covers a dinner stop and the returns. The Executive Sprinter is approximately $195 an hour from a $780 minimum spend, and the Jet Sprinter approximately $300 an hour from $1,200.
Do you serve groups travelling in from another city for the show?
Yes. A mini bus or coach from Hamilton, Barrie, Kitchener or London runs as a single charter with one pickup and one return, quoted per trip against that route.

Send your pickup address, the headcount, and whether you want two transfers or the vehicle held by the hour. We reply with one fixed price covering the chauffeur, fuel and insurance. Figures are approximate. HST at 13% and gratuity of 15 to 20% are added on top.
