Traveling Between US and Canada

a friend from san francisco recently visited us.

they took a plane from san francisco to buffalo. contacted a car rental company from buffalo and then drove to toronto from there.

since we migrated here in canada, i have known a lot of people who have done that. and it goes both ways too. people from the US travel to buffalo or michigan and then drive over here while people from toronto drive over to buffalo or michigan and then fly to their US destination.

the reason a lot of people do this is because the airfare within the US is cheaper than the airfare between US and canada. so i guess it makes practical sense to fly to the border and then drive over.

and with a lot of car rental companies offering special deals and promotions, it even makes it more appealing to rent a car than to actually use your own car for road trips.

advantage.com offers up to 50% discount on luxury and convertible car rentals. now that is one deal that's definitely hard to pass up on.
