The Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) is located on Toronto Island in Lake Ontario, which is why it is also sometimes known as Toronto Island Airport. This key gateway offers domestic and international flights to more than 20 destinations, including Montreal, Ottawa, Halifax, and Boston. Note that this is different from the city's main airport, Toronto Pearson Airport.
Billy Bishop is well-equipped with amenities, including a number of shops, restaurants and bars, and it also offers free WiFi throughout the terminal. Plus, there is a free shuttle service to and from the downtown area. Note that the car rental desks are not all in the same place; for example, Hertz is inside the terminal by the baggage claim area, while Enterprise and National are in the Eireann Quay parking lot on the mainland.
A guide to driving in Toronto
Driving from Toronto City Airport to the CBD
After you land, you’ll either take the ferry across the water to the mainland where you’ll pick up your car hire, or you’ll pick up your hire on the island and take the tunnel across. Once you’re on the other side, you are already in the city’s downtown area so it shouldn’t be far from your accommodation or CBD destination.
