Boston area car services

[Camster0307]

To my fellow Mass. DISers (and I know there are alot of you!): can you recommend a reasonable and reliable car service to go to TF Green airport in Providence? I live west of Boston, right off of 495; have never flown out of Providence before and don't know who to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

We've used Coach 2000 twice. They are out of Taunton. I haven't used a car service for 3 years. They were very nice and reliable back then. I wouldn't feel comfortable saying they are great because I haven't used them in so long. If it means anything though, we will be using them for my August trip.

thanks!

Anyone else?

I usually get someone to drop-off/pick-up before and after my flight since it's only a 45 min. drive for me. Otherwise I drive myself and park at Pre-Flight with a discount coupon.

It would probably only be a 45 minute drive for me too, but I've never done it before so I was hesitant to do it and thought it would be easier to just get a car. How easy is it to self-park and how expensive? I would imagine it's got to be better than Logan.

I think it'd be cheaper than a car service but it depends on how long you're parking for. Disney Ron posted this info on Pre-Flight:
It's $59.95 per week, but you'll see they have a printable coupon for 20% off which makes it $42.18 for the week. Not too bad.
Pre-Flight is off Rt. 95 at the Airport exit in Warwick. Once parked, a shuttle picks you and your luggage up at your car and drops you across the street at the terminal.

I'm in Westborough, and it's exactly 1 hr from my house to the terminal at TFGreen. If you choose to not take your car, try Knights Transportation. They are based in Grafton and I use them a lot to Logan. My mom used them to Green quite a lot when she traveled.

Thanks so much, travelin tigger - you've been so helpful! I'll go check it out!

Can you give me an idea of the cost? I don't mind driving TO Green the day we leave; but we return late on a Friday nite; I know I won't be looking forward to driving home. That's the biggest reason why I'm considering the car service!

I live on the Cape and use Kennedy Limousine or White Tie.. but in Boston I always use Boston Coach... now I am sure all of them travel, but you may want something more local..

I dont know how much they cost but Worcester Limo is also and option. I've heard that Knights is good too!

Howdy neighbor I'm a quick ride down route 9 in Natick/Framingham!

I think I've spent about $100 r/t when I've gone by myself. That's for a shared van ride. But that was to Boston, not Providence.

Ah, Natick & Framingham.... yes, my wallet and I are VERY familiar with that area!

Thanks for your suggestion. Glad I have, at least, a few places to check out now.
