    About the Etobicoke to Buffalo Airport trip

    Etobicoke is minutes from Pearson, but when the flight is better from Buffalo, you're already on the right side of the city for the QEW. The trip is about 98 miles (158 km), and rideshare apps generally won't take it because it crosses the border.

    Your driver meets you at home, a hotel or the office, whether that's Mimico, Long Branch, Islington Village or the Kingsway, and takes the QEW, which begins where the Gardiner ends at Hwy 427, then around the lake to Niagara. Expect about 2 hours of driving plus the border; we time the pickup from your flight.

    The Gardiner Expressway becomes the QEW right in Etobicoke, so there's no cross-town drive before the highway.

    QEW from the start

    No crossing the city first: Etobicoke is where the QEW begins.

    Planned around your flight

    We set the pickup from your departure time: drive time, a buffer and the airline's check-in window.

    Room for luggage

    Choose an SUV if you're travelling with large suitcases, golf bags or skis.

    Route and timing

    • Etobicoke is the closest part of Toronto to the QEW, so most of the drive is the run around the lake. Afternoon traffic through Mississauga and Oakville is the main slowdown.
    • We check live border wait times before your pickup; both US CBP and Canada's CBSA publish them.
    • After the bridge, the last stretch to BUF on I-190 and I-290 or Route 33 is usually quick, though winter weather can slow it down.

    Border crossing, passports & NEXUS

    • Leaving Etobicoke on the QEW, your driver can cross at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie or take Hwy 405 to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. The choice depends on the posted waits that day.
    • You clear US entry at the bridge, not at the airport, so a flight within the US is simply a domestic departure from BUF.
    • On the Etobicoke to Buffalo Airport trip, every traveller needs a document the US accepts at land crossings, such as a passport, a NEXUS card, or an enhanced driver's licence for eligible US and Canadian citizens. Canadian and US citizen children under 16 can show a birth certificate.
    • The NEXUS lane can only be used when every person in the vehicle, including the driver, is a NEXUS member; otherwise we time your Etobicoke 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
