U.S. and Canada Border Crossing

Buffalo Airport Limo chauffeurs are trained and aware of the border crossing procedure. Our central dispatch monitors up to the minute wait times on all 3 bridges to The US and Canada. The information is transmitted to the driver to ensure that we drive you across the border through the minimum wait time bridge.

Starting June 1st 2009, U.S and Canadian Customs have made some changes for the document requirement for crossing borders.

Valid Canadian / US Passport
A Trusted Traveler Program - Nexus, Sentri or Fast/Express Card
State Enhanced Driver's License (DLF)
Valid Passport with Valid Visa (Non Canadian and US Citizens). If your country participates in the Visa waiver program then you may not need a Visa to travel to Canada or USA. Please check with US and Customs Directly to verify this information.

U.S. & Canadian citizens under the age of 16 or under the age of 19 if travelling with a school, religious, or other youth group, may present a birth certificate, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, Canadian Citizenship card, or a naturalization certificate. Birth certificates can be an original, photocopy or certified copy.

Non Canadian and non US Citizens are required to get them selves documented when they cross borders. This process takes some extra time. Let your Limo Reservation Specialist know if you hold a passport other than Canada and USA so that extra time can be calculated for your pick for an on time arrival to your destination.
