Can I take Uber from Logan still?
I heard Uber is banned from Logan but I am also reading that people are still able to take Uber from Logan.
I hope someone will clarify. I wish to take a cab/Uber to an off-site Hertz rental in Revere, MA. Picking up the car in Revere will save me $200 vs picking it up at Logan.

You need to be picked up at the Limo area.

I looked at the fare estimator and UberX is available whereas inside the airport only the higher priced UberBlack (livery drivers) are available.
I don't think shuttle buses run as frequently to the Hilton.

You do not need a shuttle for the Hilton - it sits in the middle of the airport and you can reach it via climate-controlled indoor skyways.
The Hyatt definitely needs a shuttle.

Uber has always been available at Logan. In order to pick up at Logan, the driver has to have livery plates, and clearance from Logan Airport. All Uber Black drivers have this, and some UberX drivers do. The app will only show drivers that have this permission.
Personally, I have never had an issue finding a driver at Logan. There is now surge pricing at the airport so that will likely increase supply (and price). For years, the airport never had surge pricing on airport pickups, so when it was busy the drivers had incentive to leave the airport and go back to the downtown area and get a surge ride.

The Lyft fare was $20. I remember pricing taxis and the estimated base started at $30. So are you just against Uber? My experience with Lyft at 4:15am makes me wonder why would ANYONE would take a taxi in the early morning when the T isn't open?
