Toronto Convention Centre Shuttle Service
Professional transportation to Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Corporate groups, exhibitors, conference attendees—seamless coordination for every event.
From $135/hour sedans • $150/hour Sprinter vans • Multi-day event packages available
Here’s the problem with coordinating convention centre transportation: Your 50-person sales team arrives at Pearson Airport Terminal 1 at 2:15 PM for tomorrow’s 8 AM trade show setup at Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Half booked the Fairmont Royal York, a quarter chose Delta near Eaton Centre, the rest scattered across Marriott Downtown and Intercontinental. Now you’re managing 4 different hotel shuttle pickups tomorrow morning to get everyone to 255 Front Street West by 7:30 AM.
I’ve coordinated 300+ MTCC corporate events, and the teams who nail this understand that professional shuttle service isn’t about luxury—it’s about eliminating the coordination chaos that kills productivity before your conference even starts.
Most event planners attempt the DIY approach: Tell attendees “just Uber to the convention centre.” Then discover that 12 simultaneous 8 AM Uber requests from the Fairmont creates surge pricing ($45-65 per ride instead of $25), half your team arrives late because drivers got confused by North Building vs South Building entrances, and your VIP keynote speaker missed setup because their Uber got cancelled twice.
Professional convention centre shuttle coordination solves this: Centralized booking, manifest management, multiple hotel pickups coordinated to converge at MTCC within 10-minute windows, designated drop-off at correct building entrance, zero guest logistics stress. Let me show you exactly how we coordinate corporate event transportation so your conference starts on schedule with everyone where they need to be.

MTCC’s downtown location creates unique transportation advantages: Walking distance from 15+ major hotels (Fairmont Royal York, Intercontinental, Delta), direct PATH underground access during winter, CN Tower visibility for easy wayfinding. But this central positioning also creates challenges—Front Street traffic peaks 7:30-9 AM when convention setups concentrate, South Building entrance on Bremner requires specific GPS coordinates amateur drivers don’t know, and loading zone access requires coordination with MTCC security for large group arrivals.
Our drivers complete 200+ MTCC trips annually and understand venue-specific protocols: North Building drop-off uses Front Street west entrance (accessible from Simcoe), South Building requires Bremner Boulevard approach from York Street, VIP access coordinates with MTCC event staff for private loading zones. This operational knowledge ensures your attendees arrive at correct entrances without circling blocks searching for proper drop-off locations.

Continuous Shuttle Service
Some conventions require rotating hotel shuttle service throughout the day—8 AM conference start, noon lunch break returns, 5 PM final pickup. We stage vehicles for continuous availability: Sprinter van dedicated to Fairmont/Intercontinental loop (7:30 AM-6 PM service = 10.5 hours = $1,575 base), second van covering Delta/Marriott route.
