You step out of the terminal into the sharp air off Lake Erie and a driver is already waiting — a clean sedan, a crisp name sign, and the promise of a low-stress run into the city. The ride peels away from the airport, past low industrial warehouses, then onto streets where Buffalo’s brick grain elevators and Art Deco skyline slide into view.

Confirm flight and pickup windows
Even though drivers track flights, message your flight number and expected pickup window to avoid missed connections.
Request child or infant seats in advance
If you’re traveling with kids, reserve the appropriate car seat — the operator provides them but needs notice.
Allow extra time in winter
Lake-effect snow and salt/sand operations can slow roads; build a 30–45 minute buffer in your schedule during winter months.
Have a clear drop-off address
Downtown Buffalo has one-way streets and restricted zones; provide the exact hotel entrance or address to avoid extra circling.
Valid ID and travel documents
Needed for hotel check-in and to confirm booking details with the driver.
Phone and charger or power bank
For communication with the driver and to access your booking confirmation.
Small carry-on or daypack
Keeps essentials accessible during the short transfer and avoids waiting at baggage claim if possible.
