Buffalo → Ellicottville: key facts

Private transfer, Buffalo Airport (BUF) to Ellicottville: the car (1–3 passengers) is $200 and the van (4–8) is $280, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 88 km on the road via US 219 and I 90; about 1h 15min off-peak, 75–90 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the official meet and greet area with a sign showing your name: on the Upper Level of the East Terminal if you fly Delta, JetBlue, Southwest or United, or on the Lower Level of the West Terminal if you fly American or Frontier. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Ellicottville is a village in the hills of Cattaraugus County, about 90 km south of the airport and the base for the Holiday Valley and HoliMont ski areas. The drive heads south around Buffalo to US Route 219, an expressway through Orchard Park and Springville that turns into a two-lane highway for the last stretch through farmland and wooded valleys. Lake effect snow can make this road slow in winter, and ski weekends bring extra traffic on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

The village centre is small and walkable, built around the crossing of Washington Street and Monroe Street, with the brick Town and Village Hall, shops and restaurants. Holiday Valley lies just south of the village and has its own lodges and condominiums at the foot of the slopes, while HoliMont is a short drive west. In winter the area is busy with skiers, and in summer and autumn visitors come for the golf course, mountain biking and the fall foliage.

Public transport: NFTA-Metro buses do not serve Ellicottville, which lies in Cattaraugus County south of the Buffalo area; there is no public transport connection listed by the airport or NFTA-Metro.
