Buffalo → Niagara Falls, NY: key facts

Niagara Falls, NY from Buffalo Airport (BUF) by private transfer: $120 per car (1–3 people) or $160 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 40 km via I 290 and I 190, roughly 45 min when traffic is light and 45–55 min when it is not.

Meeting point: 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. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Niagara Falls, New York, is the American city on the east bank of the Niagara River, about 40 km by road from the airport. The usual drive takes I-290 west across Amherst and Tonawanda and joins I-190 north, which crosses the river twice over the Grand Island bridges before reaching the Niagara Scenic Parkway and the city centre. The trip stays entirely in the United States, so no border crossing is needed. Summer weekends and holiday evenings bring heavier traffic near the falls and the state park parking areas.

Niagara Falls State Park occupies the riverbank and Goat Island right next to downtown, with Prospect Point overlooking the American Falls and the Cave of the Winds on Goat Island. Old Falls Street leads from the park into the compact centre, where most hotels and the casino stand within a few blocks of each other. The Niagara Falls Amtrak station is on the northern side of the city, and the Whirlpool State Park and the gorge trails follow the river north towards Lewiston.

Public transport instead: NFTA-Metro bus 24 Genesee (24L limited-stop trips on weekdays) from Buffalo Niagara International Airport to Metropolitan Transportation Center, downtown Buffalo, every 20-30 minutes all day (24); 24L weekdays only. NFTA-Metro bus 40 Buffalo/Niagara Falls from Metropolitan Transportation Center, downtown Buffalo to Downtown Niagara Falls and Portage Road Transit Center, about hourly on weekdays, 1 change. There is no direct public bus from the airport to Niagara Falls; the usual combination is route 24 to downtown Buffalo and route 40 from the Metropolitan Transportation Center via Grand Island to Niagara Falls.
