Rent a Bus to Highmark Stadium: The Complete Transportation Guide

Abbott Road in front of Highmark Stadium closes to all northbound and southbound traffic at 8:00 AM on game day — hours before most Bills fans are even thinking about leaving the house. GPS navigation routes everyone straight down Abbott Road, which is why thousands of motorists discover the closure live, in a line of cars that has nowhere to go. The new $2.1B Highmark Stadium that opened June 23, 2026 changed a lot of things about a Bills game: 60,108 seats arranged in a tighter bowl, a 360-degree canopy sheltering 64% of the crowd, a world-record snow-melt system running through the roof, heated concourses, and an entirely new lot layout built from scratch.

The road closure problem is exactly the same. This guide covers how charter bus and party bus rentals to Highmark Stadium actually work — the dedicated Bus & Limo Lot (Lot 3), the Tailgate Village setup, the $350 pass that gets your group in, the approach roads that work on game day, and everything a group needs for cold-weather January tailgates in a brand-new building.

TLDR: Charter bus and party bus rentals for Highmark Stadium park in the dedicated Bus & Limo Lot (Lot 3) with access to Tailgate Village, skip the ECC South Campus rideshare walk, and handle the Route 219 to Route 20A approach — so your Bills Mafia energy starts the moment everyone boards, not in a parking-lot scramble on a closed road.

What's New at the $2.1B Highmark Stadium for the 2026 Bills Season

Fifty-two years of game-day muscle memory ended on June 23, 2026, when the ribbon was cut on the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park. The new building sits across from where the old stadium stood, but the experience is fundamentally different. The 360-degree canopy — protecting 64% of the seating bowl while deliberately leaving the field open to the sky — is the signature engineering feature, designed specifically to eliminate the swirling wind patterns that made the old upper deck almost uninhabitable in January.

Beneath the canopy runs the world's largest stadium snow-melt system, with roof sensors that automatically monitor and melt accumulations. Inside, heated concourses and radiant heating above select seating sections complete the cold-weather upgrade.

The capacity is 60,108 — the tightest, loudest configuration the Bills could build. The first regular-season NFL game at the new stadium is September 17, 2026, when the Detroit Lions visit for the Week 2 home opener. From that date through January, every home game draws from downtown Buffalo, from Rochester, from Erie and Niagara Falls, from communities spread across hundreds of miles of Western New York.

Getting those groups to Orchard Park and back — without parking chaos, without the Abbott Road discovery at 8:05 AM, and without one person in every car skipping the tailgate to stay sober — is exactly what a bus solves. For the full picture of Buffalo Bills game-day group transportation, see the Buffalo sporting event transportation page.

Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to Bills Games?

Bills Mafia runs some of the most committed parking-lot tailgates in the NFL. Groups of 20, 30, even 50 people coordinate from different ZIP codes across Erie and Niagara counties to hit the same lot at the same time — and that coordination collapses the moment one car takes a wrong turn on Route 20A or parks in the wrong color lot. One charter bus or party bus rental fixes the whole thing: one pickup, one arrival, one dedicated spot in Tailgate Village, and nobody volunteering as the only sober person in the group because somebody had to drive.

The math on a 40-person group driving separately is worse than most people calculate before game day. Each car needs its own advance parking pass at the new stadium, where rates have climbed more than 50% from the old Highmark pricing. Each car navigates the Route 20A corridor separately on game day.

Each car sits in the same post-game lot crawl. A 40–56 passenger charter bus covers your entire group under one $350 Bus & Limo Lot pass (purchased in advance through the Bills Ticket Office), one coordinated approach on the correct route, and one post-game pickup while everyone else works through the color-coded exit sequence. And if your group wants the rolling tailgate from the moment the bus pulls away from Buffalo — a party bus with color-changing LED lighting and Bluetooth sound turns the ride to Orchard Park into part of the celebration, not transit to get there.

Comparing charter bus, party bus, and minibus options through Buffalo group transportation services shows every vehicle type and rate range for the 2026 season.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at the New Highmark Stadium

The dedicated setup for buses and limousines at the new Highmark Stadium is Lot 3 — the Bus & Limo Lot, which includes access to Tailgate Village, an exclusive tailgating area within the lot designed specifically for groups arriving by bus or limo. This is a separate designation from the numbered lots that regular cars use, and it comes with a meaningful post-game advantage: the Bus & Limo Lot stays open one hour after the game ends, while all other official lots close two hours post-game. That extended window matters when your group is filtering out of a 60,000-person crowd.

Because the new Highmark Stadium is in its inaugural season in 2026, the Bills recommend verifying your exact lot entry point and approach corridor on their official stadium page before your game date — procedures may be refined as the first season progresses. What is confirmed for 2026: all stadium parking is cashless, advance purchase is required for the Bus & Limo Lot, and there are no bus parking passes sold at the gate on game day. Plan accordingly, because a missing or unpurchased pass is not fixable once you're on Route 20A at 10 AM.

The Bus & Limo Lot, Tailgate Village, and the $350 Parking Pass

The Bus & Limo Lot parking pass is $350 per vehicle, purchased in advance through the Bills Ticket Office at 1-877-228-4257. That single pass covers your entire bus — so for a 50-person group, it is $350 for the vehicle versus 10-plus separate car passes at the new stadium's elevated 2026 lot rates. The Tailgate Village within Lot 3 gives bus groups an exclusive tailgating space, separated from the general lot congestion where regular fans compete for curb position.

One important distinction the Bills draw: full tailgating privileges inside the Bus & Limo Lot area are specifically reserved for limousines with a capacity of 11 or fewer — for full-size charter buses, the Tailgate Village section is the designated tailgating space. When you purchase the Lot 3 pass through the Bills Ticket Office, confirm the exact setup for your vehicle size so the group arrives knowing exactly where to stage.

The Tailgate Village setup gives bus groups something the general lots do not: a reserved space where your crew can set up and tailgate together, locked in advance, before a sellout crowd starts competing for every square foot of lot space. Bills home games are consistent sellouts, and high-demand dates — the September 17 home opener against Detroit, divisional matchups against New England, New York, and Miami, and any primetime kickoff — fill the general lots for hours before kickoff. Your group's Lot 3 reservation is locked in while everyone else is still checking availability the week before the game.

Rideshare at ECC South Campus — and Why Your Bus Skips It

Uber and Lyft operate at a designated zone on the western end of ECC South Campus, accessed via the sidewalk along Southwestern Boulevard, per the Bills' official ride-share guidance. That zone requires a walk from the stadium gates to reach — and making that walk twice, against a 60,000-person crowd, once before and once after the game, is part of what makes rideshare at an Orchard Park stadium a friction experience rather than a convenience. Post-game surge pricing in Erie County after a Bills game is another variable that never improves on the walk back.

A charter bus or party bus rental parks in Lot 3 and stages for your post-game pickup, so your group loads at an agreed spot within the one-hour post-game window and skips both the walk and the surge entirely.

Abbott Road Closes at 8 AM — Game-Day Routing for Every Group

This is the piece of information that most Bills game planning guides skip and every first-time visitor to Orchard Park learns the hard way: Abbott Road closes to all northbound and southbound traffic at 8:00 AM on game day — hours before a 1:00 PM kickoff, half a day before a primetime game. Because GPS routes the majority of traffic down Abbott Road, the discovery typically happens in a line of stopped cars with no exit option. The correct game-day approach for groups coming from Buffalo, the airport, or I-90 is Route 219 south to Route 20A east (Big Tree Road).

From downtown Buffalo: take I-190 south to Route 219 south, then exit at Route 20A east (Big Tree Road) toward the stadium. From I-90 west, connect to Route 219 south then Route 20A east. Do not put "Highmark Stadium" or "1 Bills Drive" into a navigation app on game morning and follow the result — it will route you to Abbott Road and add an unplanned detour to your morning.

The approach via Route 20A from Route 219 is how the stadium itself wants vehicle traffic to arrive, and it is the route a bus from this site will use to reach Lot 3.

Additionally, Route 20A from Abbott Road to Southwestern Boulevard converts to two-lane, one-way westbound traffic approximately 30 minutes before the game ends — another detail that affects exit timing for groups who plan to walk back out before the final whistle. Know the pattern in advance, agree on your post-game assembly point near Lot 3, and the bus exit is clean.

Every Way to Get to Highmark Stadium Compared

This site helps you compare bus options, but here is an honest look at every realistic choice for a group heading to Orchard Park, so you can make the call that fits your headcount and how the day is supposed to go.

For a single person or a couple, rideshare or public transit are workable calls. But once your group grows large enough to fill more than two or three cars, the coordination math on separate vehicles — different arrival windows, scattered parking, individual passes, and at least one person per car who cannot drink — tips decisively toward one bus. That is who this guide is built for, and the Tailgate Village in Lot 3 is specifically designed to give that group a better game-day experience than the general lots.

What Size Bus or Party Bus Rental Does Your Group Need for Bills Games?

No two Bills fan groups are the same headcount. Comparing vehicles through the full vehicle lineup on this site shows every option across every group size — here is how the choices break down for a Highmark Stadium run.

For Bills games, the choice comes down to headcount and how much tailgate gear is coming along. A party bus keeps the energy rolling from pickup all the way to Tailgate Village, with LED lighting and a sound system making the Orchard Park ride part of the Bills Mafia experience. For large crews hauling grills, folding tables, and folding chairs, a full-size 40–56 passenger charter bus gives you the undercarriage bays to swallow all of it, plus an onboard restroom for the cold ride home after a January game.

ADA-accessible vehicles are available — note the need clearly when you request your quote.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Rental Prices for Bills Games in Buffalo

Comparing all-inclusive quotes through this site takes under 30 seconds and shows the price before you commit to anything. There is no single sticker rate, because every quote is shaped by a few clear variables:

• Vehicle size — a 56-passenger charter bus and a 14-passenger Sprinter limo are different hourly rates.
• Total hours — how long the vehicle is dedicated to your group, counting pregame tailgate time and the post-game wait.
• Date and demand — the September 17 home opener against Detroit and January divisional matchups price differently than a mid-October Sunday game. The Bills sell out consistently, and peak dates see higher demand for available vehicles.
• Pickup location — a downtown Buffalo pickup is a shorter run than a group originating in Rochester, Niagara Falls, or Erie PA.

To give you an idea — these ranges help you budget, not current market rates or guaranteed quotes: Sprinter vans and limos generally run $120–$280/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $150–$300/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $175–$350/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $250–$450/hour; and full-size 40–56 passenger charter buses run $125–$250/hour or $900–$2,000/day. Actual pricing shifts with date, mileage, and vehicle type. The $350 Bus & Limo Lot pass from the Bills Ticket Office is a separate, stadium-side cost — not included in the vehicle quote.

A Game-Day Pricing Example

To give you an idea: a 44-person Bills fan group arranges a 50-passenger party bus for the Week 2 home opener against Detroit on September 17, 2026. Pickup is at 9:00 AM from South Buffalo, at Lot 3 by 10:30 AM — four hours before kickoff. The tailgate runs through noon, the group walks in, and the bus stages nearby for a post-game pickup within the one-hour Lot 3 window.

A 9-hour all-inclusive rental at that headcount might run $2,500–$3,000 — roughly $57–$68 per person — with the Abbott Road approach, the Lot 3 position, and the post-game exit all part of one rental. This is example pricing for planning purposes, not a rate or quote.

Bills Mafia Tailgate Planning for Bus Groups

The Bills Mafia runs one of the most celebrated parking-lot cultures in the NFL, and the new Highmark Stadium's Tailgate Village in Lot 3 was built with that tradition in mind. Here is what tailgate planning looks like specifically for a group arriving by bus.

Plan to arrive when lots open. Official Highmark Stadium lots open four hours before kickoff, and Tailgate Village access begins at the same time. For a 1:00 PM kickoff, that means lot access starting at 9:00 AM.

Factor in game-day drive time on Route 20A (slower than off-peak — add 30–40 minutes from Buffalo depending on the game), and the first hour of lot opening is the right target for groups who want a full tailgate window before heading in.

Pack for the undercarriage bays. A full-size charter bus's undercarriage bays can hold grills, folding tables, canopy tents, and camp chairs without any of it riding in the cabin. That is a genuine advantage over driving separately, where tailgate gear that doesn't fit in someone's trunk stays home.

Gas and charcoal grills are standard at Bills tailgates. Just remember: the bus cannot arrive towing anything — all gear rides inside the luggage bays, which is exactly the right fit for a motorcoach setup.

Know the tailgating rules for your vehicle type. As noted in the drop-off section, the Bills distinguish between limousines (11 or fewer capacity) and full-size charter buses for tailgating purposes within Lot 3. The Tailgate Village is the designated space for bus groups.

Confirm the exact setup for your vehicle size and group count when you contact the Bills Ticket Office at 1-877-228-4257 to purchase the Lot 3 pass — it is one question worth asking before game week.

Agree on a post-game assembly point before kickoff. The Bus & Limo Lot closes one hour after the game. Set a clear meeting spot near Lot 3 before your group walks into the stadium — no one should be texting "where are you" in a 60,000-person crowd while the lot closing window counts down.

Cold-Weather Game Planning — What Late-Season Bus Groups Need to Know

The new Highmark Stadium was literally engineered around Buffalo winters. The 360-degree canopy eliminates the wind swirl that made the old stadium's upper deck almost uninhabitable by December, the radiant heaters above select seats are a genuine upgrade, and the world's largest stadium snow-melt system keeps the canopy clear without fan intervention. Once you are inside the bowl, the cold-weather experience at the new stadium is meaningfully better than the old one.

The Tailgate Village in Lot 3, however, is still an open-air parking lot in Erie County, and a group arriving for a late December or January home game should plan as if they are spending three hours outdoors in Western New York — because they are.

For bus groups, late-season cold-weather games add one practical consideration: the post-game window in a January Bills game can be brutal. Standing in the Lot 3 area at 20°F waiting for a bus stuck in post-game traffic is avoidable with clear pre-game planning. Agree on your post-game assembly spot, set a realistic loading time (15–20 minutes after the final whistle is workable for getting your group together), and the bus can have the interior climate-controlled and ready when you walk out.

Some bus groups use the vehicle as a warm-up point during halftime or extended timeouts in particularly cold conditions — with the bus staged in Lot 3, that option exists.

Lake Erie-effect snow squalls are their own category of late-season risk in Orchard Park. A squall can deposit significant accumulation in a short window, and Route 20A and Route 219 can slow substantially in those conditions. The new stadium's snow-melt system handles the canopy; Route 219 and Route 20A are the Erie County Department of Public Works' job.

If your game date carries a winter storm watch, padding an extra hour into your departure from Buffalo is straightforward planning, and a bus group has that flexibility without anyone individually deciding whether their car can make it.

Getting to Highmark Stadium from Buffalo, BUF Airport, and Western New York

Highmark Stadium sits in Orchard Park, in suburban Erie County, 10–12 miles south of downtown Buffalo. Orchard Park is a residential suburb — there is no walkable transit connection from the city, and the NFTA's Orchard Park service requires a transfer and a significant walk to reach the stadium lots. Private group transportation is how Western New York gets to Bills games, which is why charter bus and party bus requests for Highmark Stadium run throughout the entire NFL season on this site.

From downtown Buffalo: I-190 south to Route 219 south, exit at Route 20A east (Big Tree Road), head east toward the stadium. On game day, use this route — not GPS — because GPS defaults to Abbott Road, which closes at 8:00 AM.

From Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF): Groups flying in for big Bills matchups — divisional games, the home opener, any potential January playoff date — land at BUF (4200 Genesee St, Cheektowaga, NY 14225), about 15–18 miles from Highmark Stadium. A direct group pickup from BUF arrivals gets out-of-town Bills fans straight to Lot 3 without splitting a travel group across rideshares on arrival day. See the BUF airport shuttle guide for how group pickups work at the terminal, or the Buffalo airport transportation page for group arrival options across Western New York.

From Rochester, Erie PA, and longer hauls: Groups driving 75–95 miles from Rochester or Erie benefit most from a charter bus. A 90-minute ride each way becomes a shared experience — nobody deciding whether they can have a drink at the tailgate because they drew the short straw for the drive — and the undercarriage bays handle luggage for groups making a weekend of it. For groups connecting from Rochester, Rochester party bus and charter bus rental options are available for pickup in that market.

For a larger Western New York multi-city run, the Buffalo group transportation page covers options across the region.

The 2026 Bills Season at the New Highmark Stadium

Every home game of the inaugural 2026 Bills season at the new Highmark Stadium carries a dimension it has never had before — and arranging group transportation early is how you actually attend the ones that matter. The high-demand dates for the 2026 season:

• September 17, 2026 — home opener vs. Detroit Lions. The first regular-season NFL game at the new stadium. Transportation demand for this date is the highest of any early-season Bills game in years. Plan early — the Bus & Limo Lot pass from the Bills Ticket Office and the vehicle rental both should be secured before training camp.
• AFC East divisional home games (New England Patriots, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins). Division games are the most consistently high-demand Bills dates of the season. Arrange group transportation as soon as the schedule is set and your tickets are confirmed.
• Primetime home games (Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football). Late kickoffs shift the tailgate window and the post-game return significantly — factor a later night into your group plan when you request a quote.
• December and January home games. Cold weather is a planning variable, the canopy is a meaningful upgrade, and the Lot 3 post-game window in 20°F weather with an inch of snow on Route 20A is where a warm bus genuinely earns its keep.
• Potential home playoff game. The Bills have been a consistent postseason contender. A January home playoff game at the new Highmark Stadium — the first ever in the building — would be one of the most in-demand Buffalo events in decades. Available buses will go first. If a playoff scenario develops, call 716-647-4700 immediately, not the week before.

Types of Groups That Rent a Bus to Highmark Stadium

The same charter bus or party bus setup works for a Bills game regardless of what kind of group is on board. These are the groups that request Highmark Stadium transportation most often:

• Large fan groups and tailgaters. The core use case — 20 to 50 Bills fans who want to tailgate in Lot 3 Tailgate Village without coordinating a caravan or sorting out a designated driver. See Buffalo sporting event transportation for every vehicle type available.
• Corporate and suite groups. Move clients and staff from downtown Buffalo hotels or offices to a suite or premium section without anyone managing individual parking passes. See Buffalo corporate event transportation.
• Out-of-town fan groups. Groups flying into BUF from other NFL cities for a divisional game or the September opener — one charter bus from the arrivals curb handles all pickups together. See the BUF airport shuttle guide above.
• Concert groups. Highmark Stadium hosts major touring acts, and stadium-scale concerts in Orchard Park have all the same Abbott Road and Route 20A logistics as Bills games. A Buffalo concert bus rental handles the approach and the post-show exit the same way.
• Birthday and celebration groups. A Bills game that doubles as a milestone celebration — the rolling tailgate on a party bus from Buffalo to Orchard Park is the opening act, with the onboard LED lighting and sound system setting the tone before the bus ever reaches Route 20A.
• Bachelor and bachelorette groups. Bills Mafia tailgate culture makes a Bills game an unexpectedly strong option on a Buffalo bachelorette party bus itinerary — a few hours of outdoor Lot 3 energy before the group transitions to downtown Buffalo venues after the game.

Going to another Buffalo venue the same weekend? The same group transportation options cover KeyBank Center for Sabres games and concerts and Sahlen Field for Bisons games. Multi-stop itineraries that combine a Bills day with downtown Buffalo stops the same evening can be arranged when you request your quote through this site.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to Highmark Stadium

Where does a charter bus drop off at the new Highmark Stadium?

Charter buses and limousines use Lot 3 — the Bus & Limo Lot, which includes access to Tailgate Village, the dedicated tailgating area for bus and limo groups. This is the Bills' designated area for oversized vehicles at the new stadium, and your Lot 3 pass must be purchased in advance through the Bills Ticket Office at 1-877-228-4257. Because the 2026 season is the inaugural year at the new stadium, verify your exact lot entry route on the official Buffalo Bills stadium page before your game date, as procedures may be updated through the season.

How much does bus parking cost at Highmark Stadium?

The Bus & Limo Lot (Lot 3) parking pass is $350 per vehicle, purchased in advance — there is no day-of bus parking at the gate. All stadium parking at the new Highmark Stadium is cashless and advance-only. That $350 covers your entire bus versus $40–$50 per car if your group drove separately in the official lots.

Contact the Bills Ticket Office at 1-877-228-4257 to purchase the pass and confirm your Lot 3 setup.

Can a bus group tailgate at the new Highmark Stadium?

Yes — the Bus & Limo Lot (Lot 3) includes access to Tailgate Village, the exclusive tailgating zone for groups arriving by bus or limo. The Bills draw a distinction within the lot: full tailgating privileges in the Bus & Limo Lot itself are specifically for limousines with 11 or fewer passengers, while the Tailgate Village section is the designated tailgating space for full-size charter buses. Confirm the exact setup for your vehicle size when you purchase your Lot 3 pass through the Bills Ticket Office at 1-877-228-4257.

Why does Abbott Road close and when does it close?

Abbott Road closes to northbound and southbound traffic at 8:00 AM on game day — several hours before kickoff — to manage the vehicle flow approaching the stadium lots. Most GPS apps route traffic straight to Abbott Road and discover the closure in real time. The correct game-day approach is Route 219 south to Route 20A east (Big Tree Road).

Check the official Bills stadium page for the current game-day traffic plan for your specific date, as it may include additional closures for primetime or high-demand games.

How much does a charter bus or party bus rental to a Bills game cost?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours (including tailgate time and post-game wait), your specific game date, and pickup location. To give you an idea — not a guaranteed rate: Sprinter vans and limos run $120–$280/hour; small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $150–$300/hour; mid-size party buses (20–30 passengers) run $175–$350/hour; larger party buses and minibuses (35–50 passengers) run $250–$450/hour; and full-size charter buses run $125–$250/hour or $900–$2,000/day. The $350 Lot 3 pass is a separate, stadium-side cost.

Call 716-647-4700 or use the online quote tool for an all-inclusive comparison in under 30 seconds. See the Buffalo party bus prices page for current ranges.

How early should a group arrive before a Bills game?

Official lots open four hours before kickoff. For a group tailgating in Tailgate Village, arriving in the first hour of lot access gives you the best setup window. Factor game-day drive time into your pickup time from Buffalo — add 30–45 minutes over off-peak travel on Route 20A.

For high-demand dates like the September 17 home opener or divisional matchups, arriving earlier rather than later means avoiding the peak Route 20A approach congestion that builds in the two hours before kickoff.

When does the Bus & Limo Lot close after the game?

The Bus & Limo Lot (Lot 3) closes one hour after the game ends, compared to two hours for the regular stadium lots. This is a tighter post-game window — agree on a clear assembly spot near Lot 3 and a post-game loading time before your group goes into the stadium, so the bus can be staged and loaded within the one-hour window.

Where is rideshare pickup at the new Highmark Stadium?

Uber and Lyft operate at the western end of ECC South Campus, accessed via the sidewalk along Southwestern Boulevard. That zone requires a walk from the stadium gates both before and after the game, through a crowd of 60,000 people on high-demand dates. Post-game surge pricing in Erie County after a Bills home game is an additional variable.

A charter bus or party bus rental parks in Lot 3 and stages for a pre-arranged post-game pickup, skipping both the walk and the surge.

What does the new Highmark Stadium canopy actually protect fans from?

The 360-degree canopy covers 64% of the seating bowl and was specifically engineered to eliminate the swirling wind that made the old stadium's upper sections especially brutal in late-season games. The canopy is paired with the world's largest stadium snow-melt system, heated concourses, and radiant heating above select seats. The field is intentionally left open to the sky — the canopy is for the fans, not the turf.

The Tailgate Village is an open-air lot and is not covered by the canopy. Cold-weather game planning (see above) still applies for your pregame tailgate and the walk between the lot and the gates.

Are ADA-accessible buses available for Highmark Stadium trips?

Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are available through transportation providers serving Buffalo. Note your accessibility requirements when you request a quote. For ADA parking and stadium entry at the new Highmark Stadium, check the official Bills stadium page for current ADA lot locations and accessible gate information at the new building.

How far is Buffalo Niagara International Airport from Highmark Stadium?

Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) is approximately 15–18 miles from Highmark Stadium, typically 20–25 minutes off-peak. For out-of-town Bills groups flying in for divisional games, playoff dates, or the home opener, a direct charter bus pickup from BUF arrivals collects the whole group at one spot and runs straight to Lot 3, instead of splitting arrivals across multiple rideshares. See the BUF airport shuttle guide above for group pickup logistics at the terminal.
