Airport Transportation in London Ontario

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from London International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in London Ontario takes you from YXU to downtown London, Western University, Fanshawe College and homes, hotels and offices across the city and southwestern Ontario.

London Ontario Airport Transfers

London Ontario airport transfers start inside the arrivals area: your driver waits near baggage claim with a name sign, and the vehicle is at the curb in front of the terminal. We track the flight on your reservation, so a delayed connection through Toronto or Calgary does not cost you your ride.

Choose a sedan for two or a van for families, students moving in and business teams, and the driver goes door to door to your hotel, residence or office. Going on to Sarnia, Toronto or Niagara Falls? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

London Ontario Airport Shuttle

Our London Ontario airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, so you leave as soon as you are through arrivals with no stops for other passengers. It has room for suitcases, hockey bags and dorm move-in boxes, which suits families, student groups and teams arriving together.

Landing at London Ontario Airport

London International Airport (YXU) serves London, Ontario, in southwestern Canada, and sits on the northeast edge of the city. It is not one of the airports of London, England.

Everything runs through one terminal. If you arrive on an international flight, you clear Canada Border Services Agency customs inside the building before baggage claim, which is next to the arrivals area. With few flights at a time, the walk from the gate to the exit is short.

London, Ontario, is on Eastern Time (UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer), and winters bring snow and freezing temperatures.

Entry requirements and local notes

Canada eTA: Most visa-exempt visitors flying to Canada need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before boarding, including on flights that connect through Toronto; US citizens and Canadian travelers do not. Travelers from countries that require a visa need a Canadian visitor visa instead.

Not London, England: YXU is in London, Ontario, Canada. Check that bookings and luggage tags read YXU, not Heathrow (LHR) or another London, England, airport.

Winter weather: From December to March, snow and ice are common, so keep a warm coat in your hand luggage and give clear drop-off details for homes on unplowed side streets or rural roads.
