At Logan Airport, limos meet passengers at a designated stand in each terminal: Terminal A’s Arrivals-level lot across from the curb, Terminal B’s Departures-level curb between doors B-205 and B-208, Terminal C’s ground-level stand inside the Central Parking Garage, and Terminal E’s Lot 2 on the Arrivals level for international arrivals. Here’s exactly where to go at each one, plus how the pickup system works and what to expect at customs.
Logan Limo Pickup: How It Works
The four pickup points at a glance:
- Terminal A: Arrivals level, lot across from the curb, exit Door A102
- Terminal B: Departures level, curbside between doors B-205 and B-208
- Terminal C: Central Parking Garage, ground level, reached via skybridge
- Terminal E: Arrivals level, Lot 2, near Door E107 (past customs for international arrivals)
Behind those four spots is a Massport-run system, not an informal arrangement. Every limo and car service operating at Logan checks in with the airport’s commercial vehicle pool and receives a time-stamped permit before heading to the curb. Once called forward, a vehicle gets a 10-minute window to complete pickup — which is why a well-run service tracks your flight and times its check-in closely, rather than idling curbside for an hour waiting.
Curb congestion follows fairly predictable patterns. Terminals A and B tend to tighten during the 4-7 PM domestic rush, when several flight banks land within the same half-hour window. Terminal E sees its heaviest crowds after transatlantic arrival banks, typically late morning and early evening. None of this changes where your driver picks you up it’s part of why chauffeurs who run Logan regularly time their approach a few minutes differently depending on the hour.
| Terminal | Limo Stand Location | Primary Airlines |
| A | Arrivals (lower) level, lot across from the curb — exit Door A102 | Delta, Delta Connection |
| B | Departures (upper) level, curbside between doors B-205 and B-208 | American, United, Air Canada, Alaska, Spirit |
| C | Central Parking Garage, ground level — via skybridge from Terminal C | JetBlue, Cape Air |
| E | Arrivals (lower) level, Lot 2 — exit near Door E107 | All international arrivals |
This staging system exists for a practical reason: State Police and Massport enforce active no-loitering rules on the terminal curbs themselves, so a car idling at Arrivals for an extended period gets moved along regardless of who’s supposed to be picking you up. The limo pool and 10-minute window keep the curb clear for moving traffic while still guaranteeing you a spot to meet your driver — it’s a tradeoff for order over convenience, and once you know the system, it works in your favour.
Terminal A Pickup Points & Airlines
Terminal A is Logan’s Delta hub, serving Delta mainline and Delta Connection flights. After baggage claim on the Arrivals (lower) level, exit through Door A102 and cross the traffic lanes to the lot directly across from the curb look for the purple “Limo” signage marking the stand. It’s a short walk, and unlike Terminal C, there’s no elevator or skybridge involved.
Terminal A is a two-building layout a Main Building and a Satellite Building connected by an indoor walkway — so it’s worth knowing which side your gate was in before heading for the exit; both routes lead toward Door A102, but the walk is longer from the Satellite side. If your flight lands during the evening domestic rush, expect the lot to be busier than the curb itself, which is one reason chauffeurs prefer this stand over waiting curbside in moving traffic.
Terminal B Pickup Points & Airlines
Terminal B handles American Airlines, United, Air Canada, Alaska, and Spirit, and it’s Logan’s busiest terminal by gate count. Pickup here is on the Departures (upper) level rather than Arrivals — after collecting your bags on the lower level, take the elevator or escalator up one level and exit through any door between B-205 and B-208. Your chauffeur will be parked curbside along that stretch, in the horseshoe.
Because Terminal B serves several major carriers out of the same building, its curb can be the most congested at Logan during peak banks heading up to Departures rather than lingering on the Arrivals level is usually the faster route to your car. If your driver texts a specific door in that B-205 to B-208 range, it’s worth walking to directly rather than exiting at the nearest one and working down the curb.
Terminal C Pickup Points & Airlines
Terminal C is JetBlue’s home terminal at Logan, also used by Cape Air. It’s the one terminal where pickup isn’t curbside at all: from baggage claim, follow signage up to Level 3 (the bridge to Central Parking), cross the enclosed skywalk to the Central Parking Garage, then take the elevator down to the ground level and follow signs to the limo stand. It sounds like more steps than it is — the wayfinding signage is clear — but it’s worth knowing in advance so you’re not expecting a curb pickup that isn’t there.
This routing exists because Terminal C’s own curb is reserved primarily for taxis and short-term drop-off, with limo and car service consolidated into the parking garage to keep both areas moving. It adds a few extra minutes of walking compared to A, B, or E, so factor that into how long “landed” to “car” actually takes if you’re timing a tight connection or a call ahead to your chauffeur.
Terminal E International Arrivals & Customs Buffer
Terminal E handles every international arrival at Logan. After landing, you’ll clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection before reaching the public arrivals hall — standard processing typically runs 15 to 45 minutes, with Global Entry members usually clearing in under 10, and CBP’s redesigned exit area lets cleared passengers head straight for the doors instead of waiting in a second exit line. Once through, exit near Door E107 and follow the purple “Limo” signage to the stand in Lot 2.
The advice worth following: schedule international pickups for 45 to 60 minutes after wheels-down, not right at landing time. That buffer covers customs processing plus baggage claim, so your chauffeur is waiting when you walk out instead of you waiting on the curb — or your driver getting bumped past their 10-minute window before you’ve even cleared passport control.
Picture a family of four landing at Terminal E after an overnight flight — grandparents included, four checked bags, everyone jet-lagged. Rather than navigating an unfamiliar customs hall and hunting for a curb in a foreign airport, their chauffeur is waiting just past the exit doors with a name board, already tracking the flight’s actual landing time, and helps load bags before walking the group out to the vehicle at Lot 2. No crossing traffic lanes with rolling suitcases, no calling a number and hoping the car that pulls up matches the description — just a name, a face, and a straight walk to the car.
Curbside vs Meet-and-Greet Service
Curbside pickup: the standard option. You make your way to the terminal’s designated limo stand — as described above — and your chauffeur is parked and waiting, usually with a text confirming the exact spot.
Meet-and-greet service: your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal, typically at baggage claim, holding a name sign, and walks with you through the terminal and out to the vehicle, handling luggage along the way. It’s popular for international arrivals, first-time visitors unfamiliar with Logan’s layout, elderly travelers, or large families who’d rather not navigate an unfamiliar terminal alone. It carries a small additional fee beyond the standard flat rate, quoted at booking.
Tips for Smooth Logan Pickups
- Confirm your arrival terminal on your boarding pass or airline app before landing — airlines occasionally shift gates and terminals
- Keep your phone charged and on; your chauffeur’s contact details and pickup updates come by text
- Provide your flight number at booking so pickup timing adjusts automatically for delays or early arrivals
- For Terminal C, head for the Central Parking Garage skybridge rather than looking for a curbside car
- For international arrivals, budget 45-60 minutes after wheels-down before expecting to reach the curb
- If you can’t locate the stand, call or text your chauffeur directly rather than searching multiple doors

Terminal Pickup FAQs
Quick answers to the questions travelers ask most before landing at Logan:
Where do limos wait at Logan Airport?
Each terminal has its own designated limo stand set by Massport: Terminal A’s lot across from the Arrivals curb, Terminal B’s Departures-level curb between doors B-205 and B-208, Terminal C’s stand inside the Central Parking Garage, and Terminal E’s Lot 2 on the Arrivals level. Your chauffeur will text the exact spot once they’re checked in.
Which airlines use Terminal C at Logan?
Terminal C is JetBlue’s home terminal at Logan, along with Cape Air. Airlines occasionally shift gates and terminals, so it’s worth confirming your specific terminal on your boarding pass or airline app before you land.
How long after landing should pickup be scheduled?
For domestic flights, most chauffeurs time pickup for shortly after your scheduled baggage claim, with complimentary wait time built in. For international arrivals at Terminal E, plan on 45 to 60 minutes after wheels-down to account for CBP processing, which typically runs 15 to 45 minutes (under 10 for Global Entry members) plus baggage claim.
Does Logan have a limo waiting area?
Yes a Massport-designated limo pool where chauffeurs check in and receive a time-stamped permit before heading to the terminal curb. Vehicles get a 10-minute window to complete pickup once called forward, which is why pre-booked chauffeurs time their arrival closely to your flight rather than waiting curbside indefinitely.
What is meet-and-greet airport service?
Meet-and-greet means your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal, typically at baggage claim, holding a name sign, and walks with you to the vehicle rather than waiting at the curb. It’s popular for international arrivals, first-time visitors, elderly travelers, or anyone who’d rather not navigate an unfamiliar terminal alone, and it carries a small additional fee.
Why isn’t my driver waiting at the curb when I land?
Massport doesn’t allow vehicles to wait indefinitely at the terminal — chauffeurs check in with the limo pool and get a 10-minute window only after your flight has landed and they’re called forward. A well-run service tracks your flight and times that check-in so the driver arrives right around when you reach the curb, not before or after.
What if I can’t find the limo stand?
Text or call your chauffeur directly you’ll have their number ahead of pickup and confirm your terminal and exit door. Logan’s terminals each have their own layout, and Terminal C in particular routes through the Central Parking Garage rather than the curb, so a quick call beats guessing.
