Choosing the Correct Pick-Up Time for a Ride to Logan Airport

pick up time for a ride to logan airport dependable limoThere are many factors to consider when determining the correct pick-up time for your ride to Logan Airport.  In addition to getting to the Airport on time, there are also certain situations where you need to allow yourself more time at the Airport.  If you are scheduling a ride with a private car service, you should consider the following before determining your pick-up time:

  • Are you flying Internationally?
  • Will there be rush hour traffic?
  • Are you checking bags?
  • How many people are traveling?
  • Do you travel frequently?

At Dependable Limo, we generally recommend a pick-up time of 2 hours before the scheduled departure time for domestic flights.  If you are flying internationally, you will need to allow more time to pass through customs and our recommended pick-up time for international flights is 2.5 hours before the scheduled departure time.  Another factor to consider is if there will be traffic that needs to be accounted for.  If your ride is between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM you should allow for an additional 15-30 minutes depending on where you live.

The time that is takes to check bags and get through security at the Airport is another thing that needs to be considered when determining your pick-up time.  If you are checking bags, you may need more time at Airport and if you are traveling with a large group of people, you may want to allow more time for everyone to check their bags and get through security. Learn more about security at Logan Airport. Ultimately, the amount of time you allow yourself at the Airport is completely up to you.  The time it takes to get to your terminal for your departure can depend on how familiar you are with the Airport.  Once it comes time to make your reservation, we will always be able to provide assistance with determining the proper pick-up time.  Also, we generally prefer at least one day of notice before your ride to Logan Airport, but can accommodate requests on a shorter notice.
