BUF
Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Buffalo Niagara, Niagara Falls.
Buffalo Niagara International is in the town of Cheektowaga, New York, and the airport's own description of who it is for says the important part: it serves Buffalo, New York and Southern Ontario, Canada. It averages around 110 flights a day with non-stop service to 18 cities, and it is the third-busiest airport in New York State and the busiest outside the New York City metropolitan area.
Like Niagara Falls International, it is operated by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. For a great many people in the Golden Horseshoe it is simply the cheapest way to fly somewhere, and the drive home across the border is the part they have to solve.

How pickup works at Buffalo Niagara
Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb with a name sign. Meeting inside the terminal is available on request, at an extra charge. Give us the flight number when you book and our dispatch team checks your flight's arrival time and adjusts your pickup. Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from landing are included.
This booking crosses the Canada-United States border. Every traveller must carry a valid passport and any required visa or permit; we do not verify documents and cannot be responsible for a refused entry. Border wait time is not billed as waiting time. We will assign a chauffeur authorised to cross.
Distances are the thing to weigh up here. The airport is about 45 km from Niagara Falls, Ontario and about 175 km from downtown Toronto, by road. The drive itself depends entirely on the border, which is why we quote a fixed fare rather than an hourly guess.
The trip books online, because one end of it is in Ontario.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.

Questions about Buffalo Niagara
Can you drive me from Buffalo to Toronto?
Yes. It is about 175 km by road from the airport to downtown Toronto, and it crosses the border, so it is a cross-border booking with a chauffeur authorised to cross. The fare is fixed in Canadian dollars before you travel.
What documents do I need?
A valid passport for every traveller, plus any visa or permit your nationality requires. We do not verify documents and cannot be responsible for a refused entry, so this is worth checking well before the day.
Does a long wait at the border cost extra?
No. Border wait time is not billed as waiting time. The 60 minutes of complimentary waiting from landing are separate and cover the terminal end of the trip.
Why is a US airport bookable online when Vancouver is not?
Because the rule is about Ontario, not about Canada. Online booking needs one end of the trip in Ontario, and a Buffalo pickup that drops you in Ontario qualifies. A trip between two British Columbia addresses does not.
