At Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), you do not need to call a taxi via phone or an app for a standard pickup. Instead, you follow the signs for "Ground Transportation" and "Taxis" at the arrivals level of every terminal. Each terminal has a dedicated, staffed taxi stand where vehicles are lined up and ready for passengers. A dispatcher will usually be present to help you and tell you which car to enter. These taxis use a standard meter system, and there is a mandatory $3.00 airport fee added to the fare. If you prefer a ride-hailing service like Uber or Lyft, you cannot use the taxi stand; you must go to the designated "Ride App" pickup areas, which are located in the Central Parking garage for most terminals. Taxis remain a popular choice at Logan because they are allowed to use the curbside for pickups, which is often more convenient than walking to the parking garage with heavy luggage, especially during the cold Boston winter months or during periods of high "surge pricing" for apps.
