BORDER CROSSING Crossing the US–Canada border at Niagara Falls, the St Lawrence Seaway (Wellesley Island State Park, Ogdens-burg or Massena) or on Hwy 87 north of
Champlain, NY on the way to Montreal is generally straightforward, though lines can be a hassle. All travelers entering the USA are required to carry passports, including citizens of Canada and the USA. If you’re
driving a rental car from Canada or Mexico you’ll need documentation from your rental car company showing permission to bring the car to another country (check the policy before making the trip). Otherwise, you’ll simply need documentation proving
you’re the owner of the vehicle. MAPS

nightmare of exits and fast interchanges between major roads. Road signage is not always well-placed or easy to interpret.
