Through Curb, you can book a ride up to 48 hours in advance, ensuring a driver is dispatched to your location at a specific time. If you prefer the traditional route, you can call long-standing companies like Boston Cab Association (617-536-5010) or Metro Cab. For airport transfers to Logan, Boston Logan Taxi Cab offers an online reservation portal specifically for scheduled pickups. Unlike ride-share services (Uber/Lyft), which use "on-demand" logic and surge pricing, scheduled Boston taxis offer more predictable flat rates for certain zones. In 2026, it is recommended to schedule your ride at least 24 hours in advance if you are traveling during peak morning rush hours or major events at the TD Garden to guarantee availability in Boston’s busy traffic environment.
