Teddy Swims Scotiabank Arena Toronto Transportation
Teddy Swims plays Scotiabank Arena on Monday October 5, 2026, with a 7:00 PM start on The Ugly Tour and two acts before him, St. Paul and The Broken Bones and MarcLo. A 7 PM start on a Monday means leaving before the commuter peak clears. Book a drop-off and a pick-up from approximately $185 each way, or hold the chauffeur by the hour.
Teddy Swims Scotiabank Arena transportation rates
The room for this one skews toward couples and pairs rather than large friend groups, so the sedan and the Executive SUV carry most of the bookings. Both tables are below and your quote always says which product 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 late on a Monday, and nothing needs re-booking while you are walking out.
1 to 2 passengers – the booking most people want here
Sedan
Lexus ES or Cadillac XTS, within the GTA. Two seats, which fits the couple this show mostly sells to. Four people should ask for the SUV price instead.
3 to 6 passengers – two couples in one vehicle
Executive SUV
Lincoln Navigator, within the GTA. Four adults with coats need this rather than the sedan, and it splits cleanly between two pairs.
Up to 6 passengers – the same six, a different arrival
Cadillac Escalade
Escalade ESV, within the GTA. Six seats again, for an anniversary or a birthday that is the actual reason for the tickets.
7 to 14 passengers – the office block of tickets
Regular Sprinter
One vehicle instead of three, within the GTA. One pickup outside the office beats fourteen people finding their own way downtown inside the peak.
7 to 10 passengers – the flagship
Jet Sprinter
Captain’s chairs and a conference table, within the GTA. Captain’s chairs and a conference table, so a small group can finish the working day on the way in. 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
On a Monday this is the product for an evening with a dinner in it, or for a company that has bought a block of seats and wants one vehicle covering the office pickup, the restaurant and the drop-offs afterwards.
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.
A 7:00 PM Monday start is the hardest arrival on the arena calendar
The Gardiner westbound and the DVP southbound are still carrying the outbound commute at six o’clock on a Monday, and the arena district sits at the point where both of them empty. A pickup time that would be comfortable for a 7:30 PM Thursday show is about twenty minutes short here.
So we set the pickup earlier and we set it against your actual address. From downtown that is a small change. From Mississauga, Vaughan or Markham it is the difference between walking in during the first support act and missing it.
The other half of the problem is the day before. Gorillaz play the same arena on the Sunday night, so the district is running two consecutive events and the local road pattern will feel familiar to anyone who was at the Gorillaz show.
Booking a car for two people, not a group
A pair of transfers on a sedan is the smallest thing we sell and it still buys the part that matters: a named chauffeur, an agreed meeting point in writing, and a return leg that is already scheduled instead of negotiated in a crowd.
Four people is where the correction happens. The sedan does not stretch, and putting four adults with coats into two seats plus a back bench is the complaint we hear after the fact rather than before it. The Executive SUV at approximately $225 each way is the answer, and across two couples it splits smaller than the sedan does across one.
If the evening is an anniversary or a birthday, the Cadillac Escalade carries the same six seats with a different arrival, at approximately $300 each way. The Maybach S580 is the other answer, and it sits on the hourly card instead, at approximately $250 an hour with a 4 hour minimum.
Scotiabank Arena drop-off and pickup on a Teddy Swims 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, drops you a short walk from the doors, and waits somewhere you can actually reach at the end.
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.
Parking near Scotiabank Arena on a work night
Driving in for a 7 PM Monday means paying twice: once at $50 for the spot, and again in the twenty five minutes it takes to find it while the commute is still moving around you. Getting out afterwards costs a third time.
For two people the money is close and we will say so. What changes the answer on a Monday is not the price, it is that nobody has to drive home at eleven o’clock with work in eight hours. For a group of six the price also stops being close: an Executive SUV both ways is about $75 each for the whole evening before tax and gratuity.
What time to arrive for a 7:00 PM Teddy Swims show
A 7 PM start on a Monday moves everything earlier. From a downtown pickup allow 90 minutes rather than the 75 you would use on a later start. From Mississauga, Vaughan or Markham allow well over two hours, because you are leaving inside the peak rather than behind it. If you are coming straight from an office in the financial district, the walk-out time is the thing to plan, not the drive.
You get the exact pickup corner, the driver’s name and number, and the return arrangement in writing. Nothing is decided on the night.
Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham and Oakville leave inside the commuter peak for a 7 PM start, not after it.
Short distance, slow road. The last kilometre into the arena district is the part that takes the time.
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, which matters more when there is work in the morning.
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.
Corporate blocks of seats are common on a weeknight and they book on invoicing rather than a card at the kerb. Our corporate chauffeur page covers accounts, and our group transportation and shuttle page covers the larger charters.
Getting home after a Monday night show
With a booking: you text your chauffeur near the end of the set, walk to the meeting point you agreed at booking, 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, a twenty to forty minute wait, a pin that keeps moving, and a walk north to find a street that is moving, all of it before a Tuesday.
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
On a Monday this bites harder than usual, because half the room is arriving from work with a laptop bag. 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.
If you are coming straight from an office, say so when you book and we plan the pickup around the bag rather than around the ticket.
Where we pick up across the GTA
Downtown Toronto, the financial district, 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.
If your October has more than one arena night in it, the Phoebe Bridgers dates on October 1 and 2 and the Charli XCX show in September are booked exactly the same way, and a repeat booking keeps the same coordinator and meeting point.
Teddy Swims Scotiabank Arena transportation: questions
How much does transportation to the Teddy Swims 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.
What is the cheapest way to book this for two people?
A pair of sedan transfers, from approximately $185 each way within the GTA, priced by distance with no hours and no minimum. That is the smallest booking we sell and it still includes a named chauffeur and an agreed meeting point in writing.
What time does the Teddy Swims show start at Scotiabank Arena?
7:00 PM on Monday October 5, 2026, on The Ugly Tour, with St. Paul and The Broken Bones and MarcLo playing before him. We build your pickup so you arrive 45 to 60 minutes before the show.
Why do you leave earlier for this show than for other arena nights?
Because a 7:00 PM start on a Monday lands inside the commuter peak rather than after it. The Gardiner and the DVP are still carrying the outbound commute at six o’clock, and the arena district is where both of them empty. We add roughly twenty minutes against a later start.
Should I book two transfers or book by the hour?
Two transfers for most bookings: you only need the drop-off and the pick-up, and a by-the-trip price is set by distance with no hours and no minimum. Book by the hour when the evening has a dinner in it or the vehicle needs to hold work bags through the show.
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 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.
Can you pick us up from the office rather than home?
Yes, and on a Monday that is the more common request. Give us the office address and the time you can actually be downstairs, and we build the pickup around that rather than a residential assumption.
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 work night?
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 four people book?
The Executive SUV at approximately $225 each way. The sedan seats two and does not stretch to four adults with coats, and this 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.
Is the Maybach available for an anniversary or a birthday?
Yes. The Mercedes S-Class Maybach S580 seats two and is on the hourly card at approximately $250 an hour with a 4 hour minimum. If you want the arrival without the hours, the Cadillac Escalade is approximately $300 each way by the trip.
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 or a mini bus. Early October runs several arena dates in the same week, so the group vehicles go first.
Is a booking cheaper than parking and driving?
For one couple, close, and we will not pretend otherwise against a $50 parking spot. What it buys on a Monday is that nobody drives home at eleven with work in eight hours. For a group of six it wins on price too, at about $75 each in an Executive SUV both ways.
How does the price compare to rideshare after the show?
Rideshare surges when 19,000 people leave at once, and the wait is typically 20 to 40 minutes on a sold-out night. Your pick-up leg is a fixed price agreed before you left home, and the chauffeur is heading to a meeting point you both already know.
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. By-the-trip prices are set by distance from your pickup address, and for a 7 PM Monday start those suburban pickups leave inside the peak.
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. If you are arriving from work with a laptop bag, an hourly booking keeps it 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 the office pickup, 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.
