Please do not use online reservations within 24 hours of travel
time.
Our
transportation times are set to the ferry arrival and departure times, the
train times are not even close.
We pick up
and drop off at the ferries direct; the train requires another form of
transportation to get you to the MV ferries.
If the ferry
is late getting in we will wait for you, the train will be long gone and you
will have to wait hours for the next train (if they even have seats).
If the train
gets delayed, which it usually does, you will miss your ferry. If we hit
traffic, we have GPS to get you to your destination quickly by an alternate
route.
We are the
least expensive and fastest way to get to and from the ferries and Newport.
We meet the
most popular ferry times for Martha’s Vineyard and Block Island. Newport is on
the same schedule.
There is
limited space. Please call 917-861-1800 in advance or fill out the Online Reservations form.
