    About the Richmond Hill to Buffalo Airport trip

    For Richmond Hill families, BUF can mean a better fare or a direct flight to a US destination, and the drive is one long, easy ride. The trip is about 120 miles (194 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 Mill Pond, Bayview Hill, Richmond Hill Centre or Elgin Mills, and takes Hwy 404 or 400 south, or the 407 ETR west to the 403, then the QEW to Niagara. Expect about 2 hours 30 minutes of driving plus the border; we time the pickup from your flight.

    The David Dunlap Observatory grounds and the Mill Pond are local landmarks; any Richmond Hill address works for pickup.

    North-of-the-407 start

    We choose between the 407 ETR and the 404 or 400 so you avoid the worst traffic.

    One driver to the curb

    The same driver from your door to the BUF departures curb, with no transfers.

    No airport parking

    Route and timing

    • Richmond Hill is north of the 407, so the drive starts with a choice between the 407 ETR and the 404 or 400 south; we pick based on traffic.
    • Long weekends and school holidays bring longer lines at the Niagara bridges, so we add extra time on those dates.
    • 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

    • There are two good crossings between Richmond Hill 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.
    • 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 Richmond Hill 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 Richmond Hill 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
