St. Catharines to Buffalo Airport
St. Catharines is the largest city in the Niagara region, with Brock University on its south side and the Welland Canal cutting through the east. From St. Catharines, Buffalo Airport (BUF) is roughly 60 to 80 minutes by road via the QEW and the Peace Bridge.
We pick up from any St. Catharines residential or commercial address, including Port Dalhousie, Brock University, downtown St. Catharines, Vansickle, and Glendale. The flat rate of $150 applies to all standard addresses.
The ride is private. We drive directly to the border, complete the crossing, and drop at the correct BUF terminal.
Passengers crossing from Canada into the United States are processed by US Customs and Border Protection. Every passenger needs a valid passport, NEXUS card, or enhanced driver's licence, and permanent residents should carry their PR card alongside their passport. Children need their own documents. We build border time into the pickup, but CBP processing is outside our control, so earlier pickups are safer on holiday weekends and summer mornings.

What Happens at the US Border
Heading into the United States, you are processed by US Customs and Border Protection rather than Canadian border services. The driver takes the lane, and every passenger answers CBP questions directly: where you live, where you are going, and why. Passports stay with each passenger rather than being collected.
Your driver chooses the crossing based on live conditions. The Peace Bridge is the most direct route to Buffalo Airport, but when it backs up, the Rainbow Bridge or the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge can be faster even though the drive is longer. That call gets made on the day.
US-bound waits behave differently from Canada-bound ones. They tend to peak on Sunday evenings, holiday Mondays, and weekday mornings when commuter traffic is heaviest. If your flight leaves during one of those windows, we will suggest moving the pickup earlier.
Currency, Payment, and Booking From Canada
All our fares are quoted and charged in US dollars, including pickups that start in Canada. The flat rate you see is the amount charged, and it does not shift with the exchange rate between booking and pickup.
Cash in USD and card are both accepted, with a 4% processing fee on card payments. Canadian cards work normally, though your bank may apply its own foreign transaction fee, which is worth checking before you travel.
Booking from a Canadian number works the same as from a US one. Call or WhatsApp +1 716-957-8900, or use the form on this page. WhatsApp tends to be easiest if you are on a Canadian mobile plan and want to avoid roaming charges while travelling.
