Default Recommendation for Limo Service

I found an old thread (2012) on this topic. We are looking for a recommendation for a limo service from Laconia to Logan Airport. For us to park in Central Parking at Logan is approximately $285. Wondering if a shuttle or limo service would be around the same price point. Please let me know if you have a recommendation. Thanks!

I booked a limo for February (Grace Limo) to go from Derry, NH to Logan AP and back - cost $428 with driver gratuity. From Laconia it might be a bit more.

The total cost is a bit more than parking at the AP, but for me, the convenience is worth the extra money.

Leaving from Dover to Logan it was around $200 each way, plus tip. I am imaging Laconia will be more.

Did you look into Parkshuttlefly? Its $203 per week and they shuttle you right to your terminal.

Major,

Contact ASL Limo out of Gilford / Laconia. I have used them a number of times as recent as two weeks ago. Great company and super professional. They have a variety of cars to choose from based on your needs.

Highly recommended!

Dan

You can drive to Londonderry, park free and take the Boston Express to Logan, get dropped off/picked up at your terminal. I have also taken Laconia Taxi to Manchester and then whatever transportation I wanted from there. Limo convenience can't be beat, especially when you come back from overseas and it is snow and slush overhead and on the roads and the driver handles your bags. Priceless. Have a good trip.

If it were just me, this is what I'd do. We are returning relatively late at night from Europe and do not want the hassle of the bus and uncovering the car, if needed. I appreciate all the helpful feedback!

I usually park at the Anderson Transpo Center.... that way if for whatever reason your flight gets FUBAR, its not an expensive Uber.

Limo prices last time I checked were ridiculous.... it was cheaper to park in Central parking for my quick hop to EYW.

I had a great experience with Lakes Region Airport Shuttle. I wanted door to door Logan to Long Island. People were nice and everything worked the way it was supposed to. Highly recommend.

I have used Lakes Region shuttle for 15 years from Moultonboro to MHT and BOS they have always been on time and competitive . I think if you go on line they give you 10% off But you will still need to call

Are there enough of us to afford sharing a private jet from Laconia to EYW?

Just an option, but whether you are flying out of Boston or Manchester, some airport hotels allow you to leave your car in their parking lots, if you plan to stay overnight at their hotel. They usually have you park in a special area of their lots.

I know people that stayed overnight at airport hotel, and hotel allowed free parking for a week. This would be extremely convenient, if you have a real early morning flight (which are usually cheapest flight of the day).

Something to consider......

I'm surprised there aren't private flights from Laconia to Fl. Not enough interest?

Hi Tis, there are quite a few private flights from Laconia to Florida and other destinations. Net Jets is one of the most frequent operators running these trips, but there are several others as well. Average cost right now is running about $10,000 per hour for a mid-size jet, so the trip from Laconia to Florida is running about $30,000.

I see a lot of "net jets" flying in and out so I guess they are based somewhere else and just fly into Laconia? 30 is a lot, lot of money, but if three or four couples split the cost, it wouldn't be as bad.

Default Recommendation for Limo Service

Just last week I returned from Anchorage, Alaska. My husband drove me to the bus in Concord where I took it to Logan for $21 each way. Comfortable, on time, and you can’t beat the price!

From https://concordcoachlines.com/faqs/ ......

"Smoking is prohibited on all coaches. This includes all tobacco products as well as all tobacco-free-products and devices (e.g. e-cigarettes and vaporizers."

Is there WiFi on the bus?

Can I bring my bicycle on the bus?

Can I bring my pet cat on the bus?

How much does it cost, and how long does it take to travel by the bus from Concord, New Hampshire to Miami, Florida? ........

At $30k, three couples would each pay $10k.

I will gladly drive a couple down to FL for half of that and provide 60's/70's music, snacks, drinks and Dramamine.

The singing of mangled or out of order lyrics will require additional tip!

It's all about supply and demand. I'm looking at some prices in early to mid January from Laconia to Naples, FL, and the prices are coming in at around $20K. What a deal!

I used "Lakeside Limo" a couple of times for that route. Their rates were pretty decent.
