Peace versus Rainbow, from the October 18 numbers

Peace Bridge is the I-190 crossing from Buffalo to Fort Erie. It takes traveler and commercial traffic and feeds the QEW. Use it for Toronto, Pearson, Hamilton, Great Wolf Lodge, and anywhere west. At 4:40 a.m. EDT on October 18, CBSA listed travelers at 1 minute and commercial traffic at 4 minutes. CBP’s Ready Lane note is 2 p.m.–6 p.m. Monday–Thursday.

Rainbow Bridge is the traveler crossing between the two downtown Niagara Falls. It does not carry commercial trucks. Use it for Fallsview, Clifton Hill, and Casino Niagara. CBSA had travelers at 4 minutes at the same hour. CBP’s Ready Lane note is 3 p.m.–7 p.m. Monday–Thursday. Neither bridge is Whirlpool, which is NEXUS-only. The taxi picks the one that matches your pin and the live wait, not a standing preference.

Three bridges, one flat fare

From Buffalo or BUF a cross border taxi can use Peace Bridge (Buffalo–Fort Erie), Rainbow Bridge (Niagara Falls NY–ON), or Lewiston–Queenston. You do not choose at booking and you do not pay extra if we switch. The quoted rate to Niagara Falls ON stays $90; Toronto stays $280.

When each bridge makes sense

Rainbow Bridge

Best for Fallsview hotels, Clifton Hill, and Hornblower. Shortest to the Canadian falls once you are in Niagara. Weekend tourist lines can be long — that is when we leave Rainbow. See also BUF to Rainbow Bridge taxi.

Peace Bridge

Best for Fort Erie, then QEW toward Hamilton, Mississauga, or Toronto. Often faster for GTA drop-offs even if it looks “out of the way” on a map.

Lewiston–Queenston

Useful when both other plazas are stacked. Good for Niagara-on-the-Lake and some north-end Ontario addresses.

Drivers watch live plaza cameras the same way locals do. You sit in the car with your passport ready; they handle the commercial lane rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request Rainbow Bridge only?

You can ask. If that plaza is a 90-minute wait we will still use a faster bridge so you make hotel check-in. The fare does not change.

Do I pay bridge tolls extra?

Cross-border flat rates are quoted as all-in for the ride. Confirm at booking if you have an unusual extra stop.
