Buffalo Airport Shuttle to Fallsview Hotels
The Fallsview hotel district sits directly above the falls, and every major tower is a flat-rate drop-off from Buffalo Airport. We deliver you straight to the lobby so there is no walking with luggage from a distant taxi stand.
- From Buffalo Airport (BUF)
- 35 to 55 minutes
- about 25 miles
- US to Canada, both directions
For travelers who have booked, or are still choosing, a hotel in the Fallsview district of Niagara Falls, Ontario and need airport transportation from Buffalo (BUF) to the correct tower on the Canadian side. Use it to confirm Fallsview is really your destination, and to book door-to-lobby drop-off at the right address.
This is the right page if
- You booked a Fallsview Boulevard tower such as the Hilton, Marriott Fallsview, Hyatt Regency, or DoubleTree and want to be dropped at the lobby, not a shared stop.
- You are attending an event at the Scotiabank Convention Centre or Fallsview Casino Resort and staying in the district.
- You are still comparing hotels and want to understand what "Fallsview" actually means before you book a room or a ride.
You may want a different page if
- Your hotel is on or near Clifton Hill, Victoria Avenue, or the entertainment strip. That is a short distance away but a different arrival. See that page.
- Your hotel address ends in NY, is on Rainbow Boulevard, or is near the Seneca Niagara casino. That is Niagara Falls, New York, with no border crossing. See that page.
- You want a specific named hotel confirmed. The major Fallsview hotels each have their own page with entrance and connection details. See that page.
What to know before you arrive
Fallsview Boulevard runs along the ridge directly above the Horseshoe Falls and concentrates the tallest hotels, the Fallsview Casino Resort, and the Scotiabank Convention Centre within a few blocks. Because it is a one-way street network on a slope, the difference between the correct lobby and the wrong corner is real when you are arriving with bags after a flight.
The most common booking mistake here is assuming any hotel labeled "Fallsview" is on the boulevard. The Sheraton Fallsview is actually on Falls Avenue next to Casino Niagara, closer to Clifton Hill than to the Fallsview Casino. It is still a flat cross-border trip from BUF, but telling us the street address, not just the brand, lets the driver plan the right approach.
Good to know
- Fallsview Boulevard is the hotel and casino district set on the ridge above the Horseshoe Falls; Niagara Falls Tourism calls it the heart of Niagara Falls.
- Fallsview Casino Resort is the largest gaming resort in Canada, with more than 3,200 slot machines, 110 gaming tables, the 372-room hotel, the Avalon Theatre and the OLG Stage.
- Not every hotel with "Fallsview" in its name sits on Fallsview Boulevard. The Sheraton Fallsview is at 5875 Falls Avenue, in the Falls Avenue Resort beside Casino Niagara and Clifton Hill, a different part of town.
- Fallsview Boulevard connects on foot to Table Rock, the casinos and Clifton Hill, so the districts sit close together but are not the same address.
- From Buffalo Airport the Fallsview district is about 25 miles and typically 35 to 55 minutes including the border crossing.
How your trip works, step by step
- Book with your exact hotel name and its Fallsview street address so dispatch confirms the correct tower and the flat cross-border rate.
- Add your flight number. We track the inbound flight and set your pickup around the actual landing time, not a fixed window.
- Your driver meets you at BUF and drives to the Rainbow Bridge or Peace Bridge, handling the crossing. The first 35 minutes of border wait are included.
- Drop-off is at your hotel’s own lobby entrance on the Fallsview one-way streets, so you are not walking uphill with luggage from a distant curb.
Trips we plan on this route
A delegate flying into BUF for a show at the Scotiabank Convention Centre books to a Fallsview Boulevard hotel within walking distance, with a flight number so the pickup tracks the landing.
A family that has not booked a hotel yet uses the district facts to decide: Fallsview for falls-view towers and the casino, Clifton Hill for the walkable arcades and attractions a short distance downhill.
A couple staying at the Fallsview Casino Resort hotel books lobby drop-off and adds their return flight so dispatch can plan the departure pickup at the same time.
What to have ready when you book
- Exact hotel name and Fallsview street address (brand name alone is not enough)
- Flight number and scheduled landing time
- Passenger count and how much luggage
- Child-seat needs and children’s ages, if any
- Confirm every traveler has a valid passport or accepted document for the crossing
Questions specific to this trip
How do I tell whether my hotel is "Fallsview" or "Clifton Hill"?
Fallsview hotels sit on or just off Fallsview Boulevard on the ridge above the falls, near the Fallsview Casino and convention centre. Clifton Hill hotels are down the slope toward the river, near Victoria Avenue and the arcades. If your confirmation lists Fallsview Boulevard you want this page; if it lists Victoria Avenue or Clifton Hill, use the Clifton Hill page. When in doubt, send us the street address and we confirm.
Is the Sheraton Fallsview on Fallsview Boulevard?
No. Despite the name, the Sheraton Fallsview is at 5875 Falls Avenue, part of the Falls Avenue Resort next to Casino Niagara and Clifton Hill, not on the Fallsview Boulevard ridge with the Hilton and Marriott. It is still a flat cross-border trip from BUF; just give us the address so the driver plans the correct approach.
Do all Fallsview hotels get the same flat rate from Buffalo Airport?
Yes. The cross-border trip to the Fallsview district is a flat per-vehicle rate regardless of which tower you book, because the distance and border crossing are the same. The rate is confirmed before you book.
How much is a shuttle from Buffalo Airport to Fallsview Hotels?
The flat rate is $105 per vehicle, one way from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF). The price is confirmed before you book, with no surge pricing and no hidden charges.
How long is the ride from Buffalo Airport to Fallsview Hotels?
The drive is about 25 miles, about 35 to 55 minutes, depending on the border crossing on the day you travel.
Do I need a passport to travel to Fallsview Hotels?
Yes. Every traveler crossing into Canada is responsible for carrying a valid passport or other accepted travel document. Requirements vary by citizenship and age, so check official government guidance before your trip.
Are there extra fees if the border is slow?
Your flat rate includes up to 35 minutes of border wait time. On the rare occasion a crossing runs longer, additional time is billed transparently at $35 per hour, with no hidden surcharges.
Can I take an Uber from Buffalo Airport to Fallsview Hotels?
Rideshare apps do not cross the US and Canada border, so an Uber or Lyft cannot complete this trip. A private cross-border shuttle like ours handles the entire route and the crossing.
Will you track my flight if it is delayed?
Yes. Add your flight number to your booking and we track your arrival, adjusting pickup so your driver is ready when you land.
Is the ride to Fallsview Hotels private?
Yes. Every booking is a private vehicle for your group only. You are never placed in a shared ride or routed through other passengers’ stops.
