The Experience

Before You Go

Bring proper ID

US and Canadian citizens must carry a passport or government ID plus proof of citizenship for cross-border travel; the driver will check this before departure.

Allow extra time for customs

Peak hours and weekends can add delays at the border—build in buffer time when scheduling flights.

Confirm vehicle size

Choose a sedan, SUV or van based on passengers and luggage, and note infant-seat requests when booking.

Flight monitoring

Opt for flight monitoring so the driver can adjust pickup or drop-off if your flight is delayed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

Conservation Note

Cross-border water management and invasive species control are priorities here; minimizing idling and choosing efficient transfers reduces your trip’s carbon footprint.
