    About the Scarborough to Buffalo Airport trip

    When a BUF fare or US nonstop beats Pearson, Scarborough travellers can skip airport parking and ride straight there. The trip is about 122 miles (196 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 Agincourt, Malvern, Guildwood or the Scarborough Bluffs, and takes the 401 west across the city to the 427 and the QEW, the DVP and Gardiner, or the 407 ETR to the 403. Expect about 2 hours 30 minutes of driving plus the border; we time the pickup from your flight.

    From Scarborough the whole width of Toronto sits between you and the QEW, which is why the pickup time matters more here than anywhere else in the city.

    Cross-city planning

    We plan around the 401, DVP and Gardiner so the trip across Toronto goes smoothly.

    No airport parking

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

    One driver to the curb

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

    Route and timing

    • Scarborough is on the east side of Toronto, so this is the longest cross-city drive in the GTA. We leave extra time and choose between the 401, the DVP and the 407 ETR.
    • 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

    • Leaving Scarborough 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.
    • 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 Scarborough 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 Scarborough 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
