    About the Toronto Pearson (YYZ) to Buffalo trip

    Some travellers land at Pearson but are really headed for Buffalo or Western New York: an international flight that only lands in Toronto, a cheaper fare into YYZ, or a rebooked connection. It's about 102 miles (163 km) to Buffalo, with the border on the way.

    We meet you at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 arrivals, or at an airport-area hotel along Airport Road or Dixon Road, and take Hwy 427 south to the QEW, then around the lake to Niagara, crossing at the bridge with the shortest wait. Drop-off can be your home or hotel in Buffalo, the Northtowns and Amherst, Niagara Falls, NY or Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), or anywhere else in the Buffalo area. The driving alone is about 2 hours 10 minutes.

    You clear Canadian customs at Pearson when you land, then enter the US at the bridge on the drive, so plan for two document checks on the same day.

    Flight-tracked pickup

    We follow your arrival and plan around customs and baggage time at Pearson.

    One car across the border

    No bus to the border and no second ride on the other side.

    Border handled

    Your driver makes this crossing regularly and picks the bridge based on the posted waits.

    Route and timing

    • Hwy 427 and the QEW near Pearson are busiest in the weekday afternoon peak; late-evening arrivals usually have the easiest drive.
    • Long weekends and school holidays bring longer lines at the Niagara bridges, so we add extra time on those dates.
    • Bills game days add heavy traffic around Orchard Park, so for a game we plan the arrival around kickoff and the stadium's traffic plan.

    Border crossing, passports & NEXUS

    • There are two good crossings between Toronto Pearson 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.
    • On the Toronto Pearson (YYZ) to Buffalo 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 Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) 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
