    About the Buffalo to Oakville trip

    Oakville trips are usually business on the QEW corridor, family visits or the lakeside downtown, with Sheridan College students heading back for term. The drive from Buffalo is about 77 miles (124 km), roughly 1 hour 30 minutes without traffic or the border.

    Your driver meets you at Buffalo Niagara International Airport or at your Buffalo address, whether that's Williamsville, Orchard Park or Cheektowaga. The route is the QEW around the lake into Oakville, finishing at Downtown Oakville and Lakeshore Road, Bronte Harbour or Sheridan College's Trafalgar campus, or wherever you're headed.

    Drop-offs on Lakeshore Road downtown are easiest outside the summer weekend crowds by the harbour.

    Route and timing

    • Oakville is right on the QEW. Afternoon traffic eastbound through Burlington is the usual slowdown.
    • We check live border wait times before your pickup; both US CBP and Canada's CBSA publish them.
    • Leaving Buffalo, the bridges are only minutes from downtown, so the border is the first part of the trip rather than the last.

    Border crossing, passports & NEXUS

    • From Buffalo your driver takes I-190 to the Peace Bridge or north to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, whichever has the shorter posted wait, then joins the QEW toward Oakville.
    • You clear Canadian entry with the CBSA at the bridge, and the officer may ask each traveller about the purpose of the trip.
    • Heading to Oakville, 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
