Moultonborough to Portland

Sue Doe-Nym · 10-24-2019, 08:53 PM

We are very fortunate in having some wonderful friends. At dinner tonight, the topic of January 2nd came up, and they offered to drive us! Honest, we didn’t even hint. So....we have their generous offer, plus the car rental reservation at Enterprise, in case the friends either can’t do it or change their minds. The Enterprise option, while not cheap, is at least possible, so maybe this will be helpful to someone else. Hope so.

This idea is long on time but cost efficient:

Two of you drive to the airport 1/1.

One rents a car.

Both drive home, separately.

On 1/2, you drive the rental car back to the airport.

You pay for only one day of the rental car but have spent some money on gas and given up three hours of your time.

You know....that’s pretty ingenious if you have the patience. Thanks for the thought. It could work. 🤓

Sue, did you call the Winnipesaukee Livery Service I posted above? Was there a problem with them?

Also there is a person in Wolfeboro named Ken Berry who drives cars to Florida. I assume he would drive somebody to Portland but maybe not. He used to own Berry Transportation years ago.

Thanks...Winnipesaukee Livery is $165+tip. We appreciate having the contact number, and a live person actually answered the phone.

Ok. I wondered if you checked. I am glad to know. Try Ken Berry.
