Taxis are usually hailed on the street; otherwise you must call a taxi service for a pickup. The only "taxi stands" are usually found at hotels, airports and larger shopping malls. Taxis typically have a starting fare – about $4 in Toronto and $2 in Ottawa, and then you are charged by combination of kilometers and minutes, although you can sometimes ask for a flat rate especially for longer distances. Most taxis will accept both cash and credit card payments, but if you are paying by credit card, it is recommended that you check with the taxi driver before your journey. Smaller towns may work on a flat fee if you are within the boundaries of the taxi service.
Limousine services typically charge by the event they are hired for and distances travelled. Depending on the company, they provide a wide variety of transportation services from basic airport transfers to sightseeing tours. Check with each operator for your specific needs.
Tipping – it is customary to tip taxi and limousine drivers about 15% of the fare. When taking a shuttle type service, there may be a "bucket" where you can put in a tip on the way out the door or just hand it to the driver if you are happy with the service. However, this is discretionary not mandatory.
