Late night uber from BDL

Submitted by jewcyjen305 t3_y5gt4b in Hartford

Hi all- flying into BDL tonight by midnight. Would you say there was a fair amount of taxi’s and Uber’s available at that time?

Edit: found a uber within a few mins, thanks guys! Forever scarred by flying into SLC with no available Uber’s.

Yes, Uber has a lot that has at least 10 to 15 Uber drivers in it at all times.

Curious to know how you know this is accurate. I’ve had a tough time getting an Uber from BDL to Glastonbury after 11, I gave up on Uber after a few long waits. Now I usually just pay the parking garage fees, leaving my car there to drive home. Also, OP - where are you going to from bdl? The further away your destination is, the less likely you’ll find a driver (my own experience only).

I've had trouble getting Ubers too BDL from Glastonbury. I'm usually on a 6am flight Monday morning and a couple of times have had to scramble and get in the car to drive myself.

So much easier to step out of an Uber and walk directly to precheck.

Same, except I’m occasionally Tuesday or Wednesday on one of the Delta flights out at 545/6 lol. The last time I had an Uber ready for en route and he canceled when about 5 mins away, I had to change plans and drive. Luckily precheck only had a few people in line otherwise I would have been really tight for time.

I live in Windsor, I always just grab a taxi from the taxi stand. Faster than waiting for the Uber.

This doesn’t shock me, as a gig worker myself, I understand why Uber and Lyft drivers who station at the airport would not take a bdl to Gbury trip.

Agreed - not surprising at all esp at that time of day, either early or late.

Outside of super COVID times, I've had no trouble getting an Uber/Lyft (always compare!) for the late flight. They tend to surge at that time though as there are 3 (I think) flights that come in close to each other near midnight.

Yep, I got burned once and it was bad enough that my job allows me to park at BDL most trips, haha! Glad you made it safely!

Should be fine. There are also regular taxis you can call.
