Courtice sits between Oshawa and Bowmanville on the Lake Ontario shoreline — a residential community within the Municipality of Clarington that has grown steadily over the past two decades. Highway 401 runs along its northern edge, and that corridor connects Courtice residents to Pearson in roughly 75 to 85 minutes west and to the broader Durham Region in every other direction.
The most significant employer in the immediate area sits just south of the 401 near Darlington: Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, one of the largest nuclear plants in North America. It employs thousands of highly skilled engineers, technicians, and executives who travel regularly for work — to OPG’s offices in Toronto, to industry conferences at Pearson, to specialist consultations with the nuclear sector’s international community. These are not leisure travellers, and their transportation requirements reflect that.
Platinum Rides has provided limo service in Courtice and eastern Clarington since 2013. Airport transfers along the Highway 401 corridor to Pearson and Billy Bishop. Corporate accounts for OPG’s Darlington facility and the Durham East professional community. Weddings at Durham Region venues referencing the Oshawa service area. Niagara wine tours west on the QEW. Prom nights at Courtice and Clarington secondary schools. Twelve years. 27 vehicles. Flat-rate pricing confirmed before departure. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Ontario Power Generation — Darlington Nuclear Generating Station is the defining employer of eastern Clarington. Located on the Lake Ontario shoreline just south of Highway 2 in Darlington, it is one of the largest nuclear power facilities in North America and one of OPG’s most significant assets. The facility employs several thousand engineers, technicians, maintenance specialists, and senior executives — many of whom travel regularly to OPG’s Toronto Bay Street offices, to nuclear industry conferences at Pearson, to specialist consultants across North America, and to regulatory engagements in Ottawa.
For this community, pre-arranged professional transportation is not a convenience — it is the professional standard. An OPG executive on a 5:30 AM Pearson pickup for an international nuclear industry conference needs a service that treats the timing with the same rigour their own work demands. Platinum Rides holds corporate accounts with the OPG community and the broader Durham East professional corridor.
Corporate accounts include consolidated monthly invoicing, priority scheduling, and dedicated account chauffeurs.
Courtice’s own event venue landscape is modest by design — it is a residential community, not a destination city. Courtice couples routinely book into Oshawa, Bowmanville, and the broader Durham Region venue circuit, and Platinum Rides serves all of them from Courtice addresses.
The Oshawa service page covers the full Durham Region venue landscape in detail — including Parkwood National Historic Site and Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility. For weddings at venues throughout eastern Durham Region, Platinum Rides provides full wedding day coordination from $800 with the complete fleet including all five Rolls-Royce models.
Call 1-888-921-1116 to discuss your venue and wedding date.
