As we all know, the bane of a Torontonian’s existence is traffic. Not quite as bad as NYC, but definitely up there. With TIFF back this month after 2-years, there’s no doubt that traffic will be unheard of. Save yourself the pain and heartache, and take our advice on how to get around the city. If you guessed it, driving is typically not the best option:
The best ways to get around downtown Toronto during TIFF
It will get you from point A to B, and even C or D. If you’re looking for something on a budget (and have time to spare), you can take the Shared, or even class it up a notch with a Lyft Lux, Lux Black or Lux Black XL if you’re feeling bougie – or the rideshare alternative that we all know and loathe for their marked up prices, long wait times and driver cancellations…you guessed it, Uber. Keep an eye out for designated drop off locations are there are certain road closures, especially around the TIFF street festival core.
Black Car
Looking to get chauffeured, or just don’t have the time to wait around for Uber? Or maybe you just want a car with some privacy so that you can swap in and out of dresses in between parties? Our top black car service providers in the city are, TrustFirstClass.com and RichmondLimo.ca.
Book a Turo Rental
Need a car to arrive in style for your upcoming TIFF party? Or maybe you just need something with a little glitz and glam to get around the city prepping for the busy season. Or maybe even just to get through all the day events and TIFF Gifting Lounges (for you industry folk)? Well, Turo has you covered. No more surprise costs, unnecessary fees, and overrated rates for your “plane jane” car rental. With Turo you can get a sweet ride at an even sweeter price — within hours! At a minimum of 3-hours before pickup, you can easily book a car in your area, or even have it delivered to you, with some options that you can even book instantly without approval. In our experience, these rentals go easier than ever so we HIGHLY recommend them.
