About the Buffalo to New York City trip
People take a car from Buffalo to New York City when they're moving, travelling with a lot of luggage, flying out of a New York airport, or can't or don't want to fly. The drive from Buffalo is about 375 miles (604 km), roughly 7 hours 55 minutes without traffic.
We pick you up at BUF arrivals or anywhere in Buffalo, such as Grand Island, Cheektowaga or Amherst, and drive either the Southern Tier (I-86/NY-17) and I-87 or I-81, I-380 and I-80 through Pennsylvania, or the Thruway east through Albany and south. Drop-off can be Manhattan hotels and offices, Brooklyn and Queens addresses, JFK, LaGuardia or Newark airports or the suburbs in Westchester and New Jersey, or any address you give us.
New York City is about eight hours' drive from Buffalo before traffic, so most trips start early in the morning.

Route and timing
- The trip takes most of a day, and the last hour into the city depends heavily on traffic at the bridges and tunnels.
- The New York State Thruway is tolled and uses cashless tolling, so there are no toll booths to stop at.
- Holiday weekends bring heavier traffic on the interstates, so tell us if you're travelling on one.
