    About the Buffalo to Burlington trip

    Burlington trips mix business along the QEW and 403 with lakefront events, family visits and the Royal Botanical Gardens. From Buffalo it's about 64 miles (102 km), with the border in between.

    Your driver meets you at Buffalo Niagara International Airport or at your Buffalo address, whether that's Grand Island, Lancaster or downtown hotels. The route is the QEW over the Burlington Skyway into Burlington, finishing at Downtown Burlington and Spencer Smith Park, the Royal Botanical Gardens or Mapleview Shopping Centre, or wherever you're headed.

    Spencer Smith Park hosts big summer festivals; if your visit lines up with one, downtown traffic is heavier and we plan for it.

    Lakeshore and business

    Downtown, the lakefront or offices along the 403: one direct ride.

    Any Buffalo pickup

    Hotels, homes and offices across Buffalo and the suburbs, or BUF arrivals.

    One car across the border

    No bus to the border and no second ride on the other side.

    Route and timing

    • Coming over the Skyway, Burlington's QEW exits are close, so the city-side drive is short once you're across.
    • We check live border wait times before your pickup; both US CBP and Canada's CBSA publish them.
    • If you're landing at BUF, we track your flight and leave once you're in the car, so a delay doesn't cost you a spot in line.

    Border crossing, passports & NEXUS

    • There are two good crossings on the way to Burlington: the Peace Bridge from downtown Buffalo to Fort Erie, and the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge north of Niagara Falls. Your driver checks the waits before choosing.
    • Canadian border officers inspect everyone in the vehicle at the bridge, so have documents ready and be prepared to declare anything you're bringing in.
    • Heading to Burlington, every traveller needs ID that Canada accepts. A valid passport is recommended, and NEXUS cards and US enhanced driver's licences are also accepted. Bring a document the US accepts for your return trip too.
    • The NEXUS lane can only be used when every person in the vehicle, including the driver, is a NEXUS member; otherwise we time your Buffalo pickup for the regular lanes.

    Requirements depend on citizenship and age. Check the official guidance before you travel: US CBP (entering the US) · CBSA (entering Canada) · Live border wait times
