    About the Grimsby to Buffalo Airport trip

    Getting from Grimsby to Buffalo Niagara International Airport means about 58 miles (94 km) of driving and a border crossing. From Grimsby, BUF and Hamilton's airport are the two nearby options, and BUF usually has many more flights.

    Pickups can be from Downtown Grimsby on Main Street, Grimsby Beach, the Casablanca Boulevard area or Winona, or any other Grimsby address. From there it's the QEW east to Hwy 405 and the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, or on to the Peace Bridge: about 1 hour 15 minutes of driving before the border, so we plan backward from your departure time.

    Grimsby sits between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, at the western edge of Niagara's wine country.

    Easy QEW run

    Straight east along the lake to the border, away from Hamilton traffic.

    No airport parking

    No car to leave in a BUF lot while you're away, and no shuttle from the far lots.

    Planned around your flight

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

    Route and timing

    • Grimsby is on the QEW between Hamilton and St. Catharines; weekday rush hour toward Hamilton is busier than the eastbound run to the border.
    • We check live border wait times before your pickup; both US CBP and Canada's CBSA publish them.
    • From the border to the terminal is a short highway run; in winter we add time for lake-effect snow around Buffalo.

    Border crossing, passports & NEXUS

    • Hwy 405 leads straight to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, usually the most direct crossing from Grimsby. If its line is long, the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie is the alternative.
    • US Customs and Border Protection inspects everyone in the vehicle at the bridge. Once you're through, there's nothing more to clear at BUF for a US flight.
    • On the Grimsby 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 Grimsby 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
