Route Notes

I-90 West (Mass Pike) the entire way - through Worcester, Springfield, and the Berkshires, across the New York line to the Albany exits. The Pike through the Berkshire hill sections slows in winter weather, and the Westborough–Worcester segment congests on weekday afternoons. There is no faster alternate; the variable on this route is departure timing, which TiLimousine plans with you at booking.

Albany Corporate and Government Travel

Boston-to-Albany requests often include Empire State Plaza, state agencies, Albany Med, Wolf Road, or Tech Valley. Same-day round trips with a waiting service period can be quoted from the complete meeting itinerary.

Albany International Airport (ALB)

Albany International Airport sits 10 minutes northwest of downtown off I-87. TiLimousine runs direct Boston to ALB transfers and reverse ALB pickups. For travelers connecting through Boston instead, Logan Airport pickups pair with the Albany run as a single booking.
