Comparison · Logan Airport
Black car service vs. rideshare at Logan
Rideshare is convenient and often cheaper at quiet hours. A booked black car wins on predictability: a fixed fare, a curbside or inside pickup and a chauffeur who knows your flight. Here is an honest side-by-side.
Is a car service better than Uber from Logan Airport?
It depends on the trip. Rideshare can cost less at quiet times, but pickups are in the Central Parking garage and prices surge at busy hours. A booked car service quotes a fixed fare in advance, meets you at the terminal curb or inside at baggage claim, tracks your flight and offers larger vehicles and child seats on request.

When rideshare makes sense
Traveling light, alone, at a quiet hour and to somewhere close? An app ride can be the cheapest option, and we would say so. For families, groups, business travel, early-morning departures and late arrivals, a booked car is usually the better value.
Common questions
Is a car service much more expensive than Uber Black?
Booked online, our sedan fares are often close to app premium-tier pricing, and the fare does not surge.
Do I tip on top of the fare?
Gratuity is added at checkout when you book, so there is nothing to work out at the end of the ride.
