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
Most Boston to Albany bookings are working trips: Empire State Plaza and Capitol meetings, state agency visits, Albany Med and healthcare appointments, and corporate travel to the Wolf Road and Tech Valley corridors. Same-day round trips with the driver holding in Albany are quoted as a single flat rate - common for delegations doing one day at the Capitol.
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 with flight tracking. For travelers connecting through Boston instead, Logan Airport pickups pair with the Albany run as a single booking.
