Train from Providence to Beacon Hill

I am flying into Providence on Saturday night and I am staying in Beacon Hill. Is there a train that can take me from the airport to this location, I get in at 9:40 PM. I was also wondering if there is a train that would leave around 4:00 AM because my flight out is on Monday at 6:30AM. Thank you in advance for your help.



Train from Providence to Beacon Hill


There is only one train station in Providence - the Providence Train Station that has both Amtrak and MBTA train service. The MBTA train will take you to Boston, but it won%26#39;t be in service by the time you land. In Boston, the trains also don%26#39;t start that early in the morning. Your best bet at this point is to rent a car and drive into Boston yourself. It should take 1 hour.



Train from Providence to Beacon Hill


Just looking at the times on your itinerary, I agree that you should rent a car for your visit. Rent one from Dollar right at the airport (it%26#39;s about $25-30 per day)and drive it to Boston Saturday night. The Boston Common Garage is nearby Beacon Hill and would be a good place to park it at $11 per 24hrs weekend rates. It will be so much easier and cheaper having a rental. Just the cost of taking a taxi to the train station and then back to the airport would be $60. Definitely rent a car for this trip. Good luck.




If for some reason you can%26#39;t or don%26#39;t want to drive yourself, the only other option would be to hire a car service .... but it will cost you ....





Unfortunately Providence is only a cheaper alternative to Boston/Logan if you have access to a car.






Yikes. I%26#39;d rent a car. If there were a 4am train, I would not trust it...once you get to Providence, you have to get to the airport from the train station.





If you land at 940pm...say 10pm by the time you leave the terminal..it%26#39;s a bus to the train station and then is there a train that late and... if there were, you%26#39;d get in past midnight...





I%26#39;d rent a car and park it at the Common Garage.



MUCH easier to drive. Without traffic, you should make it in about an hour.
