where to meet your chauffeur at Boston Logan Airport
.
1. Provide Your Airline and Flight Number
Your airline and flight number are two of the most important details for an airport pickup. They help Boston Preferred Car Service identify your arrival terminal and monitor flight information when available.
Flight details are especially helpful if your flight arrives early, arrives late, changes gates, or has a terminal update.
2. Use the Arriving Passenger’s Mobile Phone Number
The mobile number on the reservation should belong to the passenger arriving at Logan Airport whenever possible.
This allows our team to communicate directly with the traveler after landing, confirm pickup details, and provide assistance if the passenger needs help locating the designated pickup area.
3. Watch for Your Chauffeur Information by SMS
For Logan Airport pickups, Boston Preferred Car Service sends an SMS message with your chauffeur’s name and phone number before pickup. This message usually goes out approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
After you land and collect your luggage, it is a good idea to text your chauffeur before heading to the designated LIMOS area. This helps confirm that you are ready and allows the chauffeur to guide you if needed.
4. Turn Your Phone On After Landing
After your flight lands, turn your phone on and check for any text, email, or phone communication from Boston Preferred Car Service.
Airport pickup areas, traffic flow, and terminal conditions can change. Staying available by phone helps keep the pickup process smooth.
5. Collect Your Luggage Before Going to the Pickup Area
If you checked luggage, proceed to baggage claim and collect all bags before going to the designated pickup area.
Going outside before your luggage is ready can create delays or confusion, especially during busy arrival periods.
6. Follow the Correct Terminal Instructions
Boston Logan Airport has multiple terminals, and each terminal has its own layout, baggage claim area, and designated limousine pickup location.
For private car service pickups, passengers should follow the instructions provided for their arrival terminal. Do not assume the pickup location is the same as rideshare, taxi, shuttle, or bus pickup.
7. Do Not Go to the Rideshare Area Unless Instructed
Private car service pickup procedures are different from app-based rideshare pickup procedures.
Boston Preferred Car Service uses the designated limousine pickup areas at Logan Airport. Going to the wrong curb or pickup zone may delay your pickup.
8. Look for a Sign with Your Last Name
For standard Logan Airport pickups, your chauffeur will meet you at the designated LIMOS area or Limo Stand for your terminal and will be holding a sign with your last name.
This makes it easier to identify your chauffeur once you arrive at the proper pickup location.
9. Request Meet-and-Greet Service in Advance If Needed
At Boston Logan Airport, chauffeurs are not permitted to meet clients inside the arrivals hall for standard pickups.
Passengers who need assistance inside the terminal may request meet-and-greet service in advance. With this service, Boston Preferred Car Service sends a separate greeter to meet the passenger in the baggage claim area with a sign displaying the passenger’s last name.
Meet-and-greet assistance has an additional cost and should be arranged before the trip.
10. Tell Us About Extra Luggage or Special Items
Airport pickups are smoother when we know your luggage needs in advance.
Please tell us when booking if you are traveling with:
- Multiple large suitcases
- Golf clubs
- Ski equipment
- Strollers
- Child seats
- Business equipment
- Oversized bags
- A larger group of passengers
This helps us recommend the right vehicle option based on the trip, passenger count, luggage needs, location, and availability.
11. Allow Extra Time for International Arrivals
If you are arriving internationally at Terminal E, allow extra time for passport control, customs, baggage claim, and possible inspection.
Even when an international flight lands on time, passengers may need additional time before they are ready to meet their chauffeur.
12. Contact Dispatch If You Do Not See Your Chauffeur
If you arrive at the designated LIMOS area or Limo Stand and do not see your chauffeur, contact Boston Preferred Car Service dispatch right away.
Our dispatch team can confirm your chauffeur’s location, help guide you to the correct pickup area, and resolve confusion quickly.
Please do not leave the airport or arrange other transportation without calling dispatch first. Leaving the pickup location without contacting dispatch may result in a no-show charge.
13. Keep Communication Simple
If you need help after landing, clear information makes it easier for our team to assist you.
Helpful details include:
- Your name
- Your airline
- Your terminal
- Whether you have collected your luggage
- Where you are standing
This helps dispatch guide you to the correct pickup area more efficiently.
