YYZ to Markham and Richmond Hill | Pearson Airport Car Service
Jul 22, 2026
Chauffeur transfers between Toronto Pearson and Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Newmarket. Drive times, Highway 407 versus 401, and hourly hire for.
Markham and Richmond Hill sit north-east of Toronto Pearson and are home to a dense cluster of technology, pharmaceutical and financial services offices. The journey is entirely highway, which sounds simple until you look at what Highway 401 does eastbound between 15:00 and 19:00 on a weekday.
The route choice, and specifically whether to use the tolled Highway 407, is the main decision on this trip. Here is how we approach it.
Typical Drive Times From Pearson
Off-peak figures. Peak hours can add 25 to 45 minutes on the 401 route.
- Vaughan and Highway 7 corridor — 20 to 30 minutes
- Richmond Hill — 30 to 40 minutes
- Markham and Unionville — 35 to 50 minutes
- Newmarket and Aurora — 40 to 55 minutes
- North York Centre — 25 to 40 minutes
- Scarborough — 40 to 55 minutes
Highway 407 Versus Highway 401
The 407 is a tolled express route that runs north of the 401 and is almost always free-flowing. The 401 is free but frequently congested. For an airport transfer to Markham during peak hours, the 407 typically saves 20 to 35 minutes. On an Onroutz.com booking the toll is included in your quoted fare, so there is no decision for you to make and no surprise charge afterwards. Our chauffeur takes whichever route is faster on the day.
Business Days Across York Region
Offices in Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan are spread across large campuses with limited transit between them. If your day involves more than one location, hourly chauffeur hire is materially easier than arranging individual trips, and the chauffeur waits on site rather than you rebooking between meetings.
Where Our York Region Passengers Usually Go
- Markham technology and life sciences campuses along Highway 404 and Warden Avenue
- Richmond Hill and the Highway 7 office corridor
- Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and the Vaughan Enterprise Zone
- Canada’s Wonderland for family trips
- Downtown Toronto via the Don Valley Parkway or Highway 404
- Pearson and Billy Bishop for departures
Returning to the Airport From York Region
The return leg is the one people underestimate. A 16:00 pickup in Markham for a 19:30 international departure is tight if you take the 401. We plan these on the 407 by default and add a buffer, because there is no recovering a missed flight from Highway 401 westbound at rush hour.
