The short version

  • Flat $105 per vehicle, one way, with the first 35 minutes of border wait included.
  • Roughly 25 miles from BUF, plus whatever the crossing costs you on the day.
  • Rideshare cannot make this trip, because the apps do not cross the border.
  • Clifton Hill hotels fill on weekends and school breaks, so book the pickup early.

What is actually on Clifton Hill

Clifton Hill is the entertainment core of Niagara Falls, Canada. Hotels, restaurants, arcades and family attractions like the SkyWheel are concentrated along a short, walkable strip, which is why it suits families who would rather park the luggage once and walk from there.

Because it is walkable, most visitors staying on or near the Hill do not need a car for the rest of the trip. That is the main practical argument for a transfer over a rental on this particular route.

Travelling with children

Clifton Hill is one of the most family-heavy destinations we serve, so child seats come up constantly. Tell us the seat type and how many when you book, so the correct seats are in the vehicle rather than sorted out at the curb.

There is a small fee for each additional seat beyond the first, disclosed up front rather than added later.

Booking around peak weekends

Weekends and school breaks tighten both hotel rooms and pickup slots. Once your flight is confirmed, booking the transfer at the same time is the simplest way to avoid a squeeze at the arrival time you actually want.
