I live in Milan, New Hampshire. Deep in the woods. I need to get to Manchester Airport. Let's say I have no one to help me, but I do have money. I cannot use a car. If someone else were to provide a car and drive it, say in a transport service/limo, then I could use it. Is there any possibility to get where I need to go?
I would need a ride to the bus to concord. It's a 3 and a half hour walk and the only bus leaves before 8 am.
You need to speak to someone local in the service industry. The Inn at Ox Bow is in Milan. Call them and ask if they know of a local driver who can take you to Manch Airport for a fee.
This is the answer. A hotel, inn, hunting lodges, atv groups. The other thought is to post the request on a local facebook (milan, berlin) page. See if there's anyone that wants to make some extra cash to help you out.
Regardless of your age, see if there’s a local senior citizens center, and call them. They likely have experience in helping people who don’t drive find their way around.
Also, if there’s a local town Facebook group, you might find someone in there.
It looks like your best hope would be to get yourself to Berlin. Look online for taxis, maybe you have an Uber out there. Grab the bus in Berlin to North Londonderry, From there a quick Uber to MHT airport.
There are no Ubers out here. Maybe there's this thing called FAST TAXI, but that's in North Conway. I have no clue if they come out here.
Fast taxi is ass and it won't go that far
Try posting on nextdoor.com and see if there is some college kid or such who can help. Or try one of those task rabbit like services. You aren’t that far up. Someone around you is looking to make a few bucks.
Also, same for Task Rabbit. out of their coverage.
Nextdoor doesn't exist for me.
https://mauraatyourservice.com/ does airport transportation/incredibly reliable - it'll be expensive though if you're ok with the price, but definitely reach out to her! There aren't many other options up here, I reached out to another private service once but it was soooooooooo expensive.
To reach her (from her website):
-messenger to facebook.com/MauraAnnette Chappelle (you do Not need to friend me)
-if you don’t use facebook please text …. (603)915-1241 (no phone calls)
Grace Limousine Service services all of NH. Excellent service 603 666 0203.

I’d hit up Rob’s Rides. He is based in Berlin. If he can’t get you to the airport you need he can get you to the lower Irving’s in Berlin where the Concord Trailways bus does a pick up around 7:00 am. I don’t know what time your flight is, but that might be your best bet. If taking the bus is not an option and Robs Rides doesn’t travel far enough south, call Dave’s Taxi. They are out of Littleton and I do recall them transporting to airports, although I don’t know the costs.
call your townhall
Why not take the Concord Coach bus? Just schedule your flight around when you’d get to Manchester, which would be in the early afternoon.
I'd love to, but I would need to figure out how to get to the bus stop. It's a three and a half hour walk, and while the drive is short, I don't have a car and even if I could I lack the ability to drive currently. I have no family nearby, and the only bus leaves at 7:40 am.
Can't help ya, I always drive when I'm up in Milan.
Maybe search in Bethel/Newry since that's the biggest close tourist industry with Sunday River. Might have more options for rides.
All this being said... You said you had money to spend. You're going to spend it.
It's not going to be cheap. It's probably going to be a couple hundred dollars.
Would it be possible to move your flight to Boston logan? Concord coach line goes directly there so you would only have to worry about getting to the bus stop.
Even if I did/could, I'd still need to get to the concord coach bus at 7:40 in the morning with no transportation of my own.
Check out task rabbit. You can hire people that have been verified for all kinds of things including rides. Good luck 🙏🏼
How do I find that? I looked up "Drive", "Driver", "Rides", "Vehicle", "Transportation", no available selection for someone to transport me came up.
Edit: Task Rabbit doesn't reach where I am.
Sorry. Perhaps an add in your local paper for someone with professional references or recommendations.
The idea to contact a local senior center is a good one too. Expect to pay $50+ an hour for their round trip.
I haven’t read all the comments but, how about leaving a day early with whoever you get to drive you, to a motel/hotel near the nearest bus station? Get up early and walk to the bus station. As long as you got time to kill, you may have better luck making your way there. Just a suggestion.
That'd add a hundred bucks onto the cost, and it's still an hour and a half's walk there. That'll probably still be a full hour before sunrise, and I don't know the sidewalk situation.
You did say you have money.

There are private car services, but it is going to cost a lot. If you are willing to pay most services will make the drive to you. Might be able to cut costs by getting a ride to Concord and take the bus to Manch.
