Rates

BUF Buffalo Taxi Service offers a great deal if you're looking for affordable taxi service around Niagara Falls. Despite potential wait times of over an hour at the checkpoint, you'll only pay $85 for the American side and $95 for the Canadian side in US dollars. If you need to travel from Buffalo Airport to downtown Toronto, the cost is $350. Our company is the only one that offers flat pricing, so you can be sure you're getting a fair deal.

The advantage of using a metered taxi is that you can see the price before your ride. However, the disadvantage is that you will be charged for every stop or traffic jam, such as on a highway or at a Canadian border security checkpoint.

For instance, if you are stopped at the checkpoint by a security officer, the meter will continue to run and charge you 0.50 cents per minute. Therefore, if you stay there for an hour, you'll pay 0.50 cents per minute multiplied by 60 minutes, totaling $30.

On an average day, the wait time at the checkpoint is around 30 minutes, depending on your situation and the vehicle in front of you in the line. To avoid these extra charges, we suggest choosing our flat pricing option, which is $85 for a trip to American Niagara Falls and $95 for a trip to Canadian Niagara Falls.

All fares are all-inclusive, except for tips/gratitude. If you are satisfied with the service the driver provides, you can tip them. Otherwise, everything else is already included in the fare.

Please note that the prices displayed are for the entire car, not per person. The fare you see on the screen or hear over the phone is the total amount you will pay your driver. It's important to know that you can rent a van or a car for the same price, and all prices listed are for the entire vehicle.

Payment

Once your transfer is complete, you can pay the driver using either cash or a credit card, which can be done inside the cab or van. If a return transfer is scheduled, you can pay for each journey separately rather than the total amount upfront.

We regret to inform you that credit card payments must be made before crossing the Canadian border. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Thank you.

Yes, you can pay at any time. Our website also allows for online payments, but we must give you the pricing first. To obtain a low-cost, flat-rate price, please call us at 716-292-4425.

Rest assured that you won't encounter additional charges beyond what you've already quoted, as there are no hidden prices, taxes, or fees. Our plan even includes toll fees, so you won't have to worry about paying them separately. While tipping is optional, you may choose if you're satisfied with the driver's service. Finally, if there's a wait time of over an hour at the Canadian border, there will be a $30 fee.

Preparation

To ensure a smooth pickup, provide your flight number when booking your airport taxi. We'll monitor your flight and adjust the pickup time accordingly. After landing, your driver will wait for a generous 45 minutes, giving you enough time to clear security, grab your bags, and get to the arrivals hall to meet them.

After booking your transportation, you will receive an email with instructions on how to meet the driver. The driver will be waiting for you at the arrival level of BUF Airport. Our company is easy to locate since the airport is tiny. You can reach our live chat representative between 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST. We take pride in being the only company that offers a live chat for customer support.

You can schedule a transfer online at any time. However, we can only guarantee the transfer once you receive a confirmation email or phone call from one of our taxi agents. If you need assistance, our live chat is available 24/7.

When you book a car through our service, whether a four-passenger cab or a six-passenger van, you will have complete ownership of the vehicle for the duration of your journey. We only offer private transfers through our airport taxi company.

All transfers are made directly from one location to another. During your ride, your driver will only pull over in the event of an emergency.

Absolutely! We are fully insured and licensed, and all of our vehicles are authorized by the Buffalo Taxi Commission to transport passengers from Buffalo, NY, to Niagara Falls, Toronto, and other locations in Canada. However, be cautious of unauthorized taxi substitutes that may risk your safety.
