Check out the website parksleepfly
We stayed at the millenium which allowed 2 weeks free parking with one night stay before or after your trip and it was $5 extra per day over the two weeks.

I'm pretty sure you can park longer than 2 weeks at all hotels.....you just have to pay for it.

Look into a limo to and from the airport it might be less expensive than doing the park/sleep/fly thing.

A Limo from Toronto, to BUF? That is at least $200 each way. Even my uncle who drives limo won't do that drive, lol I would love a limo, honest, but not in the budget.

we had someone use a limo service from Hamilton to Buffalo airport, and they loved it. was a lincoln town car i think for 4 or 5 people. They said it was very reasonabel under $200 return. STandard car limo not a stretch limo.

I agree that from the Hamilton/Burlington/Oakville area it is $200 or less. You can negotiate the price. A park and fly hotel package will cost(depending on the time of year) at least $100 plus the overage cost for going beyond the 14 days. With taxes you are probably in the $150 plus mark. Now, if you have an early morning flight that might factor in.

So maybe not less expensive(wrong choice of words on my part) but similar in price and no worries about the car.

We've used the Park Sleep Fly 3 times and its been worthwhile each time.
Especially if you have an early morning flight (you only have a 10 minute drive to the airport as opposed to depending on a longer drive with the possibility of traffic and cross border issues).
From TO to Buf by limo would probably be anywhere from $350 to $400 return compared to a one night stay ,with Park'n'fly which would be about $200 (including gas for your car journey)for the full 3 weeks of parking.

for those that need a park and fly, do you find the best rate is to call the hotels directly, or book through the park and fly site?

On the occasions we have used the Millenium Hotel, the ParkSleepFly website had better prices than the Millenium direct booking.

I was looking into this recently and called all the hotels that were listed on the sleep, park and fly and the website is alot cheaper then the rates the hotels offer directly.

If you are considering spending $150 (or more) for a car service, why not just drive yourself and park in the long term parking right at the airport? The weekly rate for the long term lot is $40 full price plus tax and there is a coupon you can get from the airport site that will get you 10% off. We have parked there as long as 10 days (so far) and have had only good experiences. There is a free shuttle that will pick you and your luggage up from the nearest 'hut' to your car (or drop off the luggage with others in your party, then go park and take the shuttle with no bags to save some time), then drops you off right at your car when you return. Here is the link to the coupon:

It's an extremely busy lot, especially at peak holiday times, but we have had no problems finding a spot enroute to WDW.
The first time we went, we did use park and fly at the Holiday Inn Express. It was extremely obvious that there was absolutely no security or maintenance on the lot where we were instructed to park our car while we were away. In fact there was quite a snowstorm and the lot was not even plowed out, so the driver of shuttle van actually said 'let the force be with us' as he gunned it through the snow pile to get to our car. We had to dig the car out, then attempt to get back out through the ruts left by the shuttle van . Thankfully we made it because it was late and cold (and we were not dressed for it). Certainly not worth paying extra for park n fly if that is what you get IMHO! We have parked across the street at the park n fly (or whatever it's called) and didn't save $$ and it took longer to get to our car. We have parked onsite at the airport ever since.
