What affects drive time on 12 Boston routes and how to plan a departure time: peak periods, seasonal routes and route-by-route notes.
Read guide →Published · Updated
Holiday travel in Boston has two problems. Logan Airport is packed and rideshare prices are unpredictable. Uber and Lyft surge during peak demand windows — exactly when you need a ride most. A pre-quoted private chauffeur addresses the second problem: the pricing for your itinerary is agreed in your written quote before you travel.
Boston's three major holiday travel peaks:
Thanksgiving. Holiday travel days can be crowded at Logan and on the main highways. If you have any flexibility, plan departures away from the peak travel days, and request the date early.
Christmas. If you have flexibility, plan holiday departures and returns away from the peak travel days, and request the date early.
New Year's. New Year's Eve is a busy night for ground transportation, and rideshare prices may rise sharply late in the evening.
Logan is busy during holiday windows. Follow your airline's recommended arrival time for your flight, and allow extra time on peak travel days.
Rideshare pickups at Logan use a designated area, which can be busy on high-volume days. A meet-and-greet can be requested with the reservation; if it is included in the confirmed reservation, follow the meeting instructions provided for that trip.
See the Logan International Airport page for terminal maps and full pickup details.
Some chauffeur companies add a holiday surcharge. When you compare providers, ask whether one applies to your date and where it is stated.
At TiLimousine, any charge that applies to a holiday itinerary is set out in the written quote for that trip.
Rideshare prices are not fixed in advance, so they can rise well above the usual rate on peak holiday nights and at busy airport times.
A private chauffeur quotes the itinerary in advance and you accept that quote in writing, so the pricing is settled before the day rather than changing on the day.
Holiday travel requires more lead time than regular travel. Request New Year's Eve transportation as early as you can.
