Cross-Border Taxi from Pearson: What Tourists Miss
Cross-border taxi rides are legal, fast, and cost-effective.
Toronto Airport Taxi & Limo Service explains what most visitors don’t know about getting to Buffalo or Niagara by limo.
“Can You Even Do That?” — A Tourist’s First Question
When Andrea and Liam landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) from Manchester, their plan was simple: pick up a rental car, cross the border, and reach their hotel in Niagara Falls, New York.
But after a long immigration queue, two jet-lagged kids, and one “we’re out of minivans” message at the rental counter, they were stuck. Confused, they asked an airport staff member:
“Is there a way to just take a taxi to the U.S. side?”
That’s when they discovered Toronto Airport Taxi & Limo Service.
Yes, You Can Take a Taxi to the U.S. — Here’s How
Most tourists don’t realize it, but licensed commercial operators in Ontario can legally provide private cross-border transportation into the U.S.
Our fleet regularly drives travelers to:
- Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF)
- Niagara Falls, NY hotels
- Lewiston, Fort Erie, and beyond
- Rochester and even Syracuse on request
Unlike rideshare apps or local taxis that stop at the border, our vehicles and chauffeurs are pre-cleared to make full cross-border transfers with proper documentation.
Why Tourists Don’t Know This Exists
Because this service isn’t advertised like Uber or airport shuttles, many travelers:
- Overpay for half-trip taxis
- Struggle with multi-stop buses
- Rent cars they don’t need
- Book hotel transfers with slow group tour vans
But Toronto Airport Taxi & Limo Service offers private, flat-rate cross-border transfers with:
- Pre-assigned vehicles
- Professional chauffeurs familiar with border crossings
- Guidance on what to expect at customs
- Optional wait-and-return service
A Real-World Story: Toronto to Buffalo Airport
Michael, a U.S. citizen visiting Toronto for a biotech expo, needed to return to Buffalo for a connecting domestic flight. His Pearson-to-Buffalo itinerary:
- Pickup at 8:00 a.m.
- Chauffeur drove directly to the Peace Bridge
- Wait time at customs: 7 minutes
- Arrival at Buffalo Airport by 10:15 a.m.
Cost? A flat rate agreed at booking. Zero surprises.
No car rental fees. No border confusion. No delays.
Crossing the Border: What You Need to Know
We help travelers understand the basics:
- You’ll go through a land border checkpoint (Peace Bridge, Queenston-Lewiston, or Rainbow Bridge)
- You need a valid passport or travel visa
- Your chauffeur stays with you throughout
- In some cases, border agents will ask questions—but we guide you beforehand
- We account for possible wait times and include them in your booking buffer
Whether you’re heading to Buffalo Niagara Airport, a U.S. wedding, or the outlet malls, we’ve done this route thousands of times.
