About the Toronto to Buffalo trip
Torontonians come to Buffalo for Bills games at the new Highmark Stadium, Sabres games at KeyBank Center, US shopping, and visits with family across the border. It's about 107 miles (171 km) to Buffalo, with the border on the way.
We pick you up at downtown condos and hotels, Union Station, Liberty Village or the Annex, or any other Toronto address, and take the Gardiner Expressway and the QEW around the lake through Oakville, Burlington and the Niagara Peninsula, crossing at the bridge with the shortest wait. Drop-off can be downtown Buffalo hotels, Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, KeyBank Center or Walden Galleria, or anywhere else in the Buffalo area. The driving alone is about 2 hours 15 minutes.
Buffalo's game-day venues sit on opposite sides of the city: KeyBank Center downtown by the waterfront, Highmark Stadium south in Orchard Park.
Game days covered
Bills at Highmark Stadium or the Sabres at KeyBank Center: we time the drop-off and the ride home around the game.
Game day ready
We plan drop-off and pickup around stadium and arena traffic plans.
One car across the border
No bus to the border and no second ride on the other side.

Route and timing
- Getting out of Toronto is the slow part: the Gardiner and the QEW through Mississauga and Oakville back up on weekday afternoons and before long weekends.
- Holiday weekends in either country, and summer Friday afternoons, usually mean longer bridge lines. Tell us if you're travelling then.
- 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
- Leaving Toronto 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.
- Have everyone's documents in hand as you approach the booth; the officer checks each traveller in the vehicle.
- On the Toronto 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 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
