Book Your Niagara Trip





Three crossings are the ones a pre-booked taxi uses. Your driver picks among them for your destination and the current wait. The Whirlpool Rapids Bridge is a fourth crossing, and it is NEXUS-only, so it is not a standard taxi route.
The closest crossing to BUF and downtown Buffalo. Carries a lot of commercial traffic, so waits can change quickly. A common choice for Toronto and for Niagara Region destinations on the Fort Erie side.
Leads straight into the Niagara Falls, Ontario tourist district and Fallsview hotels. It is the most convenient crossing for the Falls, and it can also be the busiest on weekends and holidays.
The northern crossing. Often a quieter option when the Rainbow Bridge is backed up, and handy for Niagara-on-the-Lake and wine country. It can slow down on busy weekends.
For departures, tell us your flight time when you book. Coming back from Ontario, we recommend leaving extra time for the crossing, and we will suggest a pickup time that matches your flight.
No hidden fees, no surge pricing. The price you see is the price you pay.
Our professional drivers are fully licensed, insured, and dedicated to your safety.
