4. Step 3 – Crossing the US–Canada Border by Taxi

Crossing the border for the first time can feel scary. In reality, with the right documents and an experienced driver, it is usually very smooth.

For a complete checklist, review:
👉 Basic Requirements & Documents to Enter Canada:
https://buffalo-airporttaxi.com/required-documents-taxi-from-buffalo-airport-to-canada/

You can also see our broader cross-border guide:
👉 Crossing US–Canada Border by Taxi:
https://buffalo-airporttaxi.com/crossing-us-canada-border-by-taxi/

Documents You Should Bring

For most travelers, you will need:

  • A valid passport for each traveler

  • For U.S. permanent residents: passport + valid Green Card

  • For children: passports according to your country’s requirements

You do not need an eTA if you are entering Canada by land (taxi). eTA applies to air entry only.

What Happens at the Border

  1. Your driver joins the line for the border crossing.

  2. When you reach the booth:

    • The driver hands over passports or asks you to do so

    • The border officer may ask you a few simple questions (where you are staying, how long, purpose of visit)

  3. In most cases, this takes only a few minutes if documents are correct and you answer clearly.

All BUF Buffalo Airport Taxi™ drivers are experienced with cross-border procedures and will guide you through what to expect.
