Garitas vs BorderSmart

Check border wait times before you leave. Compare lanes, save your favorite crossings, and explore hourly patterns to help plan a trip from Mexico or Canada into the United States. TWO BORDERS, ONE LIST • Explore Mexico–U.S. and Canada–U.S. crossings separately. • Check 29 Canadian crossings and the available Mexican border ports. • Keep every favorite in one Home order, regardless of country. • Search, compare nearby crossings, and explore them on the map. CLEAR TIMES BY LANE • Check General, Ready Lane, SENTRI or NEXUS, pedestrian, and commercial waits. • Spot the fastest lane and compare the current wait with the previous hour. • If a source stops updating, Garitas avoids presenting it as live. PLAN A BETTER TIME • The 24-hour chart compares today with the typical pattern. • During a holiday week, compare Now, Typical, and the same holiday last year. It is historical context, not a forecast.
