Boston University Private Transportation
Campus tours, graduation ceremonies, academic meetings, and family visits all bring people to Boston University. For these occasions, we provide Boston University private transportation with a professional chauffeur, a vehicle sized to your group, and pickup arrangements based on your campus destination.
We review these arrangements with you before the visit, so you know where to meet your chauffeur at the start of the day and on the way back.
A Warm Welcome to BU Starts at the Correct Address
Boston University’s Charles River Campus extends for nearly two miles along Commonwealth Avenue. For admissions visits, the starting point is the Alan and Sherry Leventhal Center at 233 Bay State Road, which welcomes prospective students for information sessions and campus tours.
For a family visiting from elsewhere in Massachusetts, a private chauffeur can pick everyone up from home or a hotel and take them to Bay State Road.
A few details worth knowing:
- BU’s standard admissions visit combines a 45-minute information session with a campus tour in a program lasting approximately two hours.
- BU requires advance registration, and popular dates can reach capacity weeks ahead, so reserve your campus appointment and any department visits before arranging the vehicle.
- Tours and information sessions follow the university’s published calendar, and availability can vary during academic breaks.
When you book, we confirm your start time and talk through how you want to travel: a point-to-point trip, a return pickup set in advance, or our hourly service, where your chauffeur stays available afterward. Once the program ends, you might leave right away or stay longer to explore BU, so the type of reservation affects how waiting and extra stops work:
- For standard pickups, we offer 15 minutes of complimentary wait time. If the wait goes beyond this grace period, standard wait-time fees may apply.
- Additional stops are included with hourly service, and the wait-time policy does not apply to hourly reservations.
- For point-to-point trips, additional stops may incur a fee depending on distance and time.
For families considering several institutions, exploring campuses across the Boston area can form part of a broader college visit, with individual appointments determining the itinerary.
Beyond Admissions: Different Days at the Same University
A parent attending an orientation, a faculty guest visiting a department, and relatives gathering for Commencement may need entirely different destinations.
That is where our Boston University car service becomes useful: you can specify the building and purpose of your visit rather than relying on the university’s general mailing address.
Two of those visits show the difference:
- Graduation celebrations. BU uses several locations for its ceremonies. Agganis Arena stands at 925 Commonwealth Avenue, while Nickerson Field sits at 285 Babcock Street.
- Academic and professional visits. Faculty guests, visiting speakers, and university partners usually need a particular school’s address. For example, the College of Communication is at 640 Commonwealth Avenue, while the College of Fine Arts is at 855 Commonwealth Avenue.
On graduation day: Commonwealth Avenue can become heavily congested, and nearby streets may close to general traffic, so your chauffeur may not be able to stop directly outside the entrance. We can suggest a meeting point away from any closed streets, but BU’s published instructions come first. If the university announces new road closures or changes to guest access, we may need to move the meeting point to a location vehicles can legally reach.
Graduates may need to arrive earlier than their guests for check-in or assembly, so the day may call for separate pickups before the ceremony. Some graduates also stay for additional activities afterward, and in that case their return trip may differ from the rest of your party’s.
Three Vehicles for Three Very Different BU Visits
We match each vehicle in our fleet to the occasion, starting with passenger capacity as a practical baseline.
- When grandparents or additional relatives join a graduation celebration, our Lincoln Navigator welcomes up to 5 passengers. The SUV fits everyone together on the way to Agganis Arena, plus space for five pieces of luggage.
- For families or groups of prospective students visiting BU, our Sprinter accommodates up to 14 passengers. This spacious vehicle offers comfortable seating, ample room for personal belongings, and a convenient way for everyone to explore the campus together.
- Our Motor Coach seats up to 55 passengers and offers high-back seats, power ports, and panoramic windows for an academic delegation attending a university program. Its luggage area holds up to 55 pieces.
Actual luggage space depends on bag sizes, so mention large suitcases or equipment when you contact us.
For an alumni gathering or a multi-family celebration, a shared transfer for everyone attending may also suit the occasion, particularly when participants start from the same hotel or meeting address.
Making Room for Boston Around Your Campus Appointment
Kenmore Square sits near the eastern end of BU’s Charles River Campus. If your day continues there or elsewhere in Boston, we can include your next stop in the plan:
- After an admissions session, you might want lunch nearby before the drive home.
- Following a ceremony, you might head to a restaurant elsewhere in Boston to celebrate with relatives.
- Alumni returning for a university function might prefer an evening pickup after seeing former classmates.
Three details to share when requesting service:
- Your exact BU destination. Include the street address and any entrance or guest instructions supplied by BU.
- The people attending. Mention children, older relatives, or accessibility requirements that affect vehicle selection.
- Your plans after the appointment. Include the expected end time, your preferred pickup location, and where you want to go next.
