Dartmouth Coach from Boston Logan Airport:
Dartmouth Coach discharges and picks-up passengers at Logan Airport Terminals A, B, C and E only. Please be aware that some coaches are dropping off passengers ONLY. Dartmouth Coach drops off on the upper level and picks up on the lower level.
Allow 30–45 minutes between Logan Airport and South Station to make connections. Due to traffic, the bus may not be able to stop in the exact location, but will pull to the curb as close as possible. The driver will exit the bus, and call the destination of that coach. It is important for passengers to pay attention and be in the designated area prior to departure time.
All Logan Airport arrival and departure times listed are for Terminal A. All other stops are approximate: for Terminal B, add 2 minutes; Terminal C, add 4 minutes; Terminal E, add 5 minutes.
A map of the Coach stops can be found here.
A range of national car rental services have offices in and around the Upper Valley.
Zipcars are also available on campus.
Amtrak offers once-daily service to/from the area, though the train station is 10-15 minutes from campus and the hotels, Uber/Lyft are not reliable in the Upper Valley, and unless the hotel can arrange pick up at the Amtrak station, this is not a great option)
Generally not reliably available in the Upper Valley, alas. Do not plan on being able to use such services. Sometimes they work; oftentimes they do not.
Advance Transit runs a bus service throughout the Upper Valley.
