About the Oshawa & Whitby to Buffalo Airport trip
Getting from Oshawa & Whitby to Buffalo Niagara International Airport means about 143 miles (230 km) of driving and a border crossing. From Durham Region, BUF is a long ride, so travellers usually choose it for a specific flight or fare, then book a car so nobody has to drive or park.
We pick you up anywhere in Oshawa & Whitby, including Downtown Oshawa, Ontario Tech University and Durham College in north Oshawa, Port Whitby or Downtown Whitby. Your driver takes Hwy 412 or 418 to the 407 ETR, then west to the 403 and QEW, or the 401 across Toronto, crosses into New York and drops you at departures. The driving alone is about 2 hours 55 minutes, so we work back from your flight to set the pickup time.
Durham's 412 and 418 connect straight to the 407 ETR, which is often the cleanest way across the GTA from here.
The long way, made easy
Close to three hours of driving, but you don't have to do any of it.
Room for luggage
Choose an SUV if you're travelling with large suitcases, golf bags or skis.
No airport parking
No car to leave in a BUF lot while you're away, and no shuttle from the far lots.

Route and timing
- Oshawa and Whitby are at the far east end of the GTA, so the 407 ETR toll highway is usually the way across. The full trip to BUF takes close to 3 hours of driving before the border.
- Holiday weekends in either country, and summer Friday afternoons, usually mean longer bridge lines. Tell us if you're travelling then.
- 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
- There are two good crossings between Oshawa & Whitby and Buffalo: the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie, and the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge at the end of Hwy 405. Your driver checks the waits and picks one.
- Have everyone's documents in hand as you approach the booth; the officer checks each traveller in the vehicle. After that, BUF is a regular domestic airport for US flights.
- On the Oshawa & Whitby 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 Oshawa / Whitby 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
