5 Things you should know before traveling on the Booze Bus

Did you know that alcohol is much cheaper with the Booze Bus? In fact, prices average around 40% less than those offered by Ontario’s LCBO outlets, even after taxes and duties are paid. A Booze Bus trip to Grand Island NY USA helps Ontarians take advantage of these prices. Here’s a couple of things you need to know before traveling with us.

Booze Bus is a free service.

Is the Booze Bus Legal?

Yes, the Booze Bus is legal and you can import up to 45 litres of alcohol when you cross the border between the US and Canada. This limit is your personal importation allowance. You must be an Ontario resident 19 years of age or older and use that liquor for personal use only (no resale permitted).

At our warehouse, you place your order and pay the bill in Canadian dollars, then we load up your purchases and return you to the pick-up point in as little as three hours from departure time.
