How does carpooling from Toronto to Gatineau work?

Gatineau to Toronto is about four and a half hours: cross to Ottawa, west on the 417, south on the 416 and then the 401. Drivers on this pair almost always pick up on the Gatineau side before crossing, which is the difference between this ride and an Ottawa one, and Kingston is the usual midway stop.

Leaving Toronto

Pickups are usually downtown Toronto or in Scarborough on the way to the 401 east.

Arriving in Gatineau

Drop-offs are on the Gatineau side after the bridge, in Hull near UQO, the Gatineau sector or Aylmer.

Worth knowing

The drop on the Gatineau side is what separates this ride from an Ottawa one, so check the ride’s end point before booking.
