Alternative Toronto Airport to Niagara Falls Transport

Aside from the abovementioned public modes of transportation, you can also travel privately, either by renting a car, hopping in a standard taxi, or by booking a private transfer.

Car rental is a flexible and mostly affordable option for travel. You can plan your own trip on your own time, and travel in a vehicle only with your friends and family. The disadvantage of car rental, aside from driving in a foreign country, is the expensive insurance waiver that you need to pay before picking up your car. If you are traveling on a budget, this can definitely put a damper in your holiday plans. Although it will be returned when you take the car back, the money that was held could have gone towards something more fun during your holiday.

For standard taxi cabs, the issue that arises is with getting a dishonest cab driver, who may overcharge you for your trip. It is usual practice in most countries for taxi drivers to add a premium to their price, due to picking you up from an airport. Be sure to negotiate the price with them before even stepping foot in the taxi.
