Getting a taxi from the airport - Do I need the Uber app? Please help.

[xsquared]

I will be arriving in Boston Logan Airport late at night and it would definitely be quicker for me to take a taxi from the airport instead of using public transport to my accommodation.

I've never used the app before, but is this better than just hailing the next available taxi?

TIA

There will be an official taxi rank (don’t accept offers from people approaching you) probably managed by someone in airport uniform. Take one of those, trips to the city are usually a fixed price in the US

I can't say for your specific location, but I have used Uber in various countries. It has always been great value and very reliable.

You need the app, set up payment details in advance. Fares are agreed in advance, and no need to carry cash. You can tip through it too.

All very convenient.

There’s a special pick up bay for people using apps like uber and lyft at Logan. I’ve taken an uber a few times there and never waited more than 5 mins for one

There is an official taxi stand. Works very well and efficient. No Uber needed in my opinion.
