Buffalo Airport Shuttle to Oakville, Ontario

- 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours
- about 75 miles
- US to Canada, both directions
For travelers heading to Oakville, the lakeside town between Burlington and Mississauga. Use it to confirm Oakville rather than either neighbour, and to understand that the town has more than one centre, so the street address decides the drive.
This is the right page if
- You are visiting a home or business in Oakville.
- You are staying near the harbour and the Lakeshore Road downtown.
- You want one vehicle from BUF rather than a connection through Toronto.
You may want a different page if
- You are heading to Burlington to the west, which is a separate town and rate. See that page.
- You are going to Mississauga to the east, closer to Pearson. See that page.
What to know before you arrive
Oakville is not one place with one centre. There is Old Oakville around the main harbour and the six blocks of Lakeshore Road downtown, and there is Bronte on the west side with its own harbour and beach, and there are the residential neighbourhoods that spread north from both toward the QEW. All of it is Oakville, and none of it is walkable from the rest, which is why the street address is the first thing dispatch asks for.
The other thing to know is that Pearson is closer. Travelers choosing Buffalo for an Oakville trip are usually doing it for the fares or the flight, and for them the single vehicle from BUF door to door is the whole point: no connection, no rental, and no working out how to get from Pearson down to the lake.
Good to know
- Oakville’s Lake Ontario shoreline includes three harbours.
- Downtown Oakville runs six blocks along Lakeshore Road East from the harbour to Allan Street and is home to more than 400 businesses.
- Bronte, on the west side of town, has its own harbour and beach and draws visitors in spring, summer and fall alongside the Lakeshore Road waterfront.
- The town holds more than 1,400 hectares of parkland and open space.
- From Buffalo Airport, Oakville is reached by way of the Peace Bridge and the QEW, beyond Burlington and short of Mississauga.
How your trip works, step by step
- Book with the exact street address. Old Oakville by the main harbour and Bronte on the west side are both Oakville and are a real drive apart.
- Add your flight number so the pickup is planned from your actual landing.
- Your driver crosses at the Peace Bridge, with the first 35 minutes of border wait included, then runs the QEW past Burlington.
- Drop-off is at the door, the harbour or the hotel you gave.
Trips we plan on this route
A traveler visiting relatives on the west side gives the Bronte address rather than just Oakville, so the driver leaves the QEW at the right exit.
A couple staying near the downtown harbour gives the hotel name and their return flight, and both legs sit on one confirmation.
A traveler who flew into Buffalo for the fare books door-to-door to an Oakville office rather than connecting through Pearson.
What to have ready when you book
- Exact street address, and whether it is Old Oakville, Bronte or a northern neighbourhood
- Flight number and landing time
- Whether your address is actually Burlington or Mississauga instead
- Passenger count and luggage
- Passports or accepted documents for the crossing
Questions specific to this trip
Why do you ask which part of Oakville?
Because the town has more than one centre. Old Oakville by the main harbour and Bronte on the west side are a real drive apart, and the residential areas spread north from both. The street address tells the driver which QEW exit to use.
Is Buffalo really the right airport for Oakville?
Pearson is closer, so people choosing Buffalo are usually doing it for the fares or the flight. For them the advantage is a single vehicle from BUF to the door, with no connection and no rental.
Can you drop us at the harbour or the downtown?
Yes. Give us the hotel or the address on Lakeshore Road, or the Bronte harbour if that is where you are heading, and the driver drops you there directly.
How much is a shuttle from Buffalo Airport to Oakville, Ontario?
The flat rate is $330 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 Oakville, Ontario?

Do I need a passport to travel to Oakville, Ontario?

Can I take an Uber from Buffalo Airport to Oakville, Ontario?
