    About the Buffalo to Sarnia trip

    Sarnia trips are often work at the industrial sites along the St. Clair River, Lambton College, or family visits at the southern tip of Lake Huron. From Buffalo it's about 206 miles (331 km), with the border in between.

    We pick you up at BUF arrivals or anywhere in Buffalo, such as downtown hotels, Amherst or Williamsville, and drive the QEW and 403 to the 401, then Hwy 402 west to Sarnia. Drop-off can be Downtown Sarnia and the waterfront, Point Edward, Lambton College or industrial sites along the St. Clair River, or any address you give us.

    Point Edward, next to the Blue Water Bridge, is a popular spot to watch freighters pass from Lake Huron into the river.

    Work-site ready

    Direct to the gate at the industrial sites along the river.

    One car across the border

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

    Border handled

    Your driver makes this crossing regularly and picks the bridge based on the posted waits.

    Route and timing

    • The 402 west of London can get winter squalls; we check conditions before the trip.
    • We check live border wait times before your pickup; both US CBP and Canada's CBSA publish them.
    • Heading into Ontario on a weekday afternoon means running into rush-hour traffic, so let us know if your arrival time is fixed.

    Border crossing, passports & NEXUS

    • There are two good crossings on the way to Sarnia: 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.
    • 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 Sarnia, 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
