172.0. "Looking for a Stretch Limo to/from Logan" by WHYNOW::NEWMAN (What, me worry? YOU BET!) Fri Sep 22 1989 01:36

    My wife, son and I are going to Florida for vacation in November.  My
    son would like to go to and from Logan in a stretch limo "that has a
    TV".  Since this is a very special vacation for all of us I would like
    to accomodate his wishes.
    
    I was wondering if anyone could recomment a Limo service from Maynard
    to Logan and then the reverse 9 days later.  Also, what type of $$$
    would it cost?

172.1Call Logan AirportCARTUN::DERAMOFri Sep 22 1989 12:3711
    I believe that there is an information line at Logan that can tell you
    about transportation in and out of the Airport. As I recall, there are
    a number of companies providing scheduled and charter transportation
    out along rt 2. At least one of them will pick up and drop off in
    Maynard.  
    
    These services would be significantly less expensive than renting your
    own limo. As for a TV ...

    Thanks for the pointer...  In this case, it appears as if the limo
    route will be within the price range for money allocated to the
    vacation.
    
172.3why pay to call loganNETMAN::DISMUKEChocolate lips don't lie...Fri Sep 22 1989 20:457
    why pay to call logan.  just look in your local phone book.  I used one
    from Hudson (I think it was Continental - I don't have a Hudson book to
    check) for my wedding 5 years ago.  They are cropping up all over.  I
    even have a friend who drives a limo and she is always busy!

172.4Littleton LimoHAVOC::MCGUIRETue Sep 26 1989 15:336
    I have used Littleton Limo several times and have been pleased with
    their service.  Their number is 1-800-222-5477.
    
    Have fun!
    
    
172.5COGITO::HARRISTue Sep 26 1989 15:482
    I used Acton Limo (which is actually in Maynard) but I wasn't pleased
    with their service.
172.6Not pleased with Littleton LimoRAINBO::WALKERWed Sep 27 1989 17:494
I didn't want a stretch limo, just a ride home from the Airport.  Well, they
picked up four other people besides me, and dropped me off last, so what
should have been a 45-60 min. trip turned out to be 2 hours.  Next time
I took a cab.
172.7no more for meDINER::SHUBINQuestion everythingWed Sep 27 1989 19:1110
    I took one of those limo services once and wound up having to change
    vans in Marlboro. It was really frustrating, and took forever. Aside
    from that, I left something in the van and it was returned crushed.

    I've given up on vans, cabs and limos. I had K&J taxi in Maynard tell
    me that they couldn't meet me at the helipad at PKO ("something came
    up") and I've been in too many vehicles that smelled of years of smoke.
    If I have to go to Logan, I drive myself or get a ride.

172.8Continental in HudsonEMIRFI::CAMBERThu Sep 28 1989 17:5913
    
    
    Continental Limo in Hudson is quite good.  I've used them a
    couple times for special occasions in the last 4 years and
    never had a problem.
    
    The last one we rented was a stretch w/TV,VCR,sun roof, opera
    lights (little lights around the interior fr subtle lighting)
    and it cost us $40 an hour.  They may have a different charge
    for transportation to/from Logan however.
    
    Good luck --S
    
172.9Framingham expressCASPRO::DUNNMon Oct 02 1989 17:4110

This isn't going to help the person in .0, but don't any of you take 
the Framingham express?

I take it and it's great.   Only 20 -30 min from here, $7.00 each way,
$4.00 to park you car in a fenced, attended lot.  They run every 1/2
hour most of the time, start very early and run till very late. 

Try it next time !!
172.10Make A Parking ReservationBIZNIS::MARINERTue Oct 03 1989 14:4612
    The only thing about the Framingham Express is sometimes you can't get
    your car in the lot.  They will tell you to park it outside but they
    won't watch it for you.   You can make a reservation tho.
    
    This actually happened to me one day, just an ordinary day, and I ended
    up driving clear into Logan and paying to park in a "secure" lot versus
    leaving the car out in an unguarded lot.
    
    So be forewarned.

172.11Try TravelIAMOK::DELUCONothing PersonalFri Oct 27 1989 11:493
    Also try the VTX TRAVEL infobase for your local travel contact
    (American Express).  I believe they can arrange one for you, even for a
    personal trip.
