Dark driveway, early flight
Before the morning departures, reserve an early ride to Bradley Airport from Hartford
To reserve an early ride to Bradley Airport from Hartford, CT, or from any of the other 35 towns on the roll, send the request with your flight time and flight number by the evening before. This page stays with the hours before sunrise: what a public flight board listed on two October mornings, the latest a request can reach the office for a pickup before 9 a.m., and where the car leaves you at the terminal.
One Connecticut car company with its own livery permit quotes, drives and is paid for each ride; it pays the office in Hartford a set amount for every ride it accepts, and riders pay the office nothing.
Airport details as of October 2026. After 7:30 p.m. on the day of a ride, use the number on the car company's written confirmation.
Read off the board: October 13 and 14
As of October 2026, Bradley International Airport has one passenger terminal, Terminal A, with a third concourse that opened early in 2026. On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, the first passenger departure on a public flight board was scheduled for 5:23 a.m., and 13 departures were scheduled before 7 a.m. On Wednesday, October 14, the count scheduled before 7 a.m. rose to 18.
Treat those numbers as two dated readings of one public board, written down to show how busy the stretch before 7 a.m. can be. Your own date carries its own list. For the ride, the time that counts is your flight time, and it goes into the request next to the flight number.
Evening cutoff for morning pickups
A pickup before 9 a.m. is handled in the 7 p.m. reply run of the evening before, so the request must reach the office by 6:45 p.m. that evening. Sending it on an earlier day works too. Once 6:45 p.m. has passed, the form only accepts rides from the day after next; for a morning flight at that point, call +1 (860) 293-7514 before the office phone closes at 7:30 p.m.
You give the flight time; the car company sets the pickup time. It reads your address and the flight time, writes back with its fare, and after you say yes it confirms the ride in writing with the pickup time on it. Set the alarm by that written pickup time. Until the car company confirms, nothing is reserved, and the office in Hartford can still withdraw or change the request for you.
At the Departures road, bags counted
As of October 2026, the car leaves you on the Departures road outside Terminal A, and from there the walk inside is yours. Up to three riders fit the sedan; four to six take the SUV. The bag count you put in the form is what the car company plans around, and it says in writing when the bags call for the SUV.
The office phone opens at 6:30 a.m., so for anything earlier on the morning of the ride, call the number on the car company's confirmation. Flying home through the same airport? Choose both directions on the form, or see how to reserve a pickup from Bradley Airport to Hartford for the day you land.
- Your flight number, the same one written in the request
- Every bag you counted in the form; tell the car company ahead if that count changes
- The car company's written confirmation, with the pickup time and its own phone number
- The building door or gate code you gave in the request, so the driver can reach your door
