Timing & Traffic
Logan Airport to Cape Cod: Car Service, Bus or Ferry?
What is the best way to get from Logan Airport to Cape Cod?
For door-to-door travel with luggage, a private car is fastest: Hyannis is about 70 miles from Logan, roughly 75 to 90 minutes outside summer weekend traffic, from about $271 in an executive sedan. The bus from Logan is the budget choice, and the seasonal fast ferry suits Provincetown trips without much luggage.
Your three options
- Private car service: from any Logan terminal to your door, flight-tracked, luggage handled
- Bus: scheduled coaches run from Logan to Hyannis and the Outer Cape; economical but on a fixed timetable
- Ferry: seasonal fast ferries run from downtown Boston to Provincetown, roughly May to October; you still need to get from Logan to the ferry pier
Fares and travel times by car
Online fares from Logan, tolls included: Plymouth about $192 (sedan), Hyannis about $271 (sedan) or $317 (SUV), Falmouth about $285 and Chatham about $319. A family of five with beach bags usually fits best in a luxury SUV.
The Sagamore Bridge factor
Almost every trip crosses the Sagamore Bridge onto Route 6. On summer Fridays heading south and Sundays heading north, the approach can add 30 to 60 minutes. Early-morning arrivals and midweek trips are much quicker. When you book, your chauffeur plans around bridge traffic and can suggest the best pickup time for your return flight.
Which option suits you?
- Traveling with children, car seats or lots of luggage: private car
- Solo traveler on a budget with a carry-on: bus
- Heading to Provincetown in summer without a car: ferry, with a short ride from Logan to the pier
- Arriving late at night: private car, since buses and ferries stop running
