From the office in Hartford, CT, you can reserve a ride from East Hartford to Bradley Airport, or back home again after a landing, with one form. East Hartford sits right across the Connecticut River from downtown, about 51,000 people as of 2020, and every house, apartment and office inside its town line is on the roll. Send the address, the flight and the number of riders; the car company answers with its own written fare, and nothing is reserved until it confirms in writing after you say yes.
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.
Riverbank streets to the Manchester border
The car comes to whatever street address you give, as long as it lies within East Hartford. Neighborhoods here carry no separate village names on the roll, so one fare covers the whole town, from the riverbank streets to the houses near the Manchester border. Connecticut has no unincorporated land and no county government, which means every address belongs to exactly one town.
Your mail may print a different town name than the one you pay taxes to. Go by your property tax bill: if it says East Hartford, choose East Hartford on the form, and the starting figure for this town applies.
Landing late, getting back across the river
A pickup after your flight lands has to be set up ahead of time. As of October 2026 the driver typically waits inside the terminal, at the meet-and-greet area of the exit corridor your concourse uses, and the car company names that exact spot in its written confirmation. Cars may not sit at the curb. Put your flight number and scheduled landing time in the request, then text or call the number on the confirmation once your bags are in hand.
If you land after 7:30 p.m., the office phone is closed. Use the number printed on the car company's confirmation instead; that line belongs to the company that drives the ride, and it can answer questions about a delayed flight, a changed bag count or the meeting spot.
Over the bridge and north on I-91
Measured on a map router from the town center, the airport is about 15.4 road miles away. Most of that distance runs west on I-84 over the Connecticut River into Hartford, then north on I-91 toward Windsor Locks. That mileage is a distance, not a schedule, and the office prints no drive times; traffic on the bridge varies by hour and season. Neighbors a few miles south can also book a ride from Glastonbury to Bradley Airport on that town's own page.
