Boston to Hyannis Private Car Service

Hyannis is the gateway to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Most of our riders are headed for a ferry or a summer home. The drive from Boston runs about 74 miles. On a good day it takes ninety minutes. On a summer Friday it can take much longer.

We plan every trip around your departure, not the clock. Tell us your ferry or your check-in time. We work backward from there and watch the road the whole way.

Boston to Hyannis: Distance and Drive Time

Distance is fixed at 74 miles. Drive time is not. The Sagamore Bridge over the Cape Cod Canal is the choke point. In summer, Friday afternoons back up for miles.

When you travel	Estimated drive time
Off-peak weekday	~90–100 min
Summer weekend, early morning	~2h
Summer Friday afternoon (peak)	~2.5–3 hours

We monitor Sagamore Bridge traffic in real time. If it builds, we move your pickup earlier. You keep the buffer, not the risk.

Drive times last verified June 2026.

Connecting to Nantucket & Martha’s Vineyard

Two ferry lines run out of Hyannis. We drop you at the right dock for your boat.

Hy-Line Cruises runs from the Ocean Street Dock. It offers fast ferries to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard (seasonal, May-October). The Steamship Authority leaves from the South Street Dock nearby. It carries passengers and vehicles to Nantucket.

Here is how the handoff works:

• We confirm your ferry time and line when you book.
• We drop you curbside at the correct terminal.
• You unload, check in, and board with time to spare.
• We help with bags before you go.

Ferry parking near the docks fills early in peak season. A drop-off skips the lot search entirely.

Coming from Logan Airport

Flying into Logan and heading straight to Hyannis? We handle that run every day. You pick the pickup style that suits your trip.

Meet & Greet

Your chauffeur waits inside the terminal with a name sign, helps with bags from baggage claim to the car. This suits families, first-time visitors, and large groups.

Curbside Pickup

We meet you at the terminal’s pickup zone. This is quick and ideal for solo travelers with light bags. We track your flight either way.

Your flight lands late? Your car still waits. We adjust to the new arrival at no penalty.

Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Trip

Vehicle	Best for	Passengers	Luggage
Luxury Sedan	Couples and solo travelers	Up to 3	2–3 bags
Executive SUV (Cadillac Escalade)	Families with gear	Up to 6	5–6 bags plus extras
Transit / Sprinter Van	Groups and heavy luggage	Up to 10–14	Plenty

Island trips mean more bags than usual. Think suitcases, coolers, strollers, and beach gear. When in doubt, size up. We would rather give you room than leave bags behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you change my pickup if the ferry is delayed?

Yes. Share your return ferry details when you book. If the boat runs late, we adjust the pickup.

Do you provide child seats, and which types?

Yes, on request. We offer infant, toddler, and booster seats. Tell us the age and weight of each child. We fit the right seat before pickup.

Will you drop me right at the ferry dock?

Yes. We drop you curbside at the correct Hyannis terminal. We confirm Hy-Line or Steamship Authority when you book. No long walk from a parking lot.

Is the price really fixed for the 74-mile trip?

Yes. You get a flat quote before you book. No surge, no summer surcharge, no meter. The price you see is the price you pay.

How early should I book a summer trip?

Book as early as you can for peak weekends. Summer Fridays and holidays fill up fast. Early booking locks your vehicle and your rate.
