Traveling from Portsmouth, NH to Ogunquit, ME
Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 11:04 PM UTC

Can anybody tell me how can I get from Portsmouth, NH to Ogunquit, ME? From what I've found on net, and that is nothing, I think my only option is taxi. If that is so, how much would it cost? I can see it's some 20 miles ride..

Have you heard the expression, you can't get there from here? That's it from Portland to Ogunquit. I tried bus and train, even going into Boston to Ogunquit and came up nothing. It really isn't that far but there appears to be no public transportation. If you want to pursue the cab call a cab company in the area and ask the price. That would be better than a guess. The cab is crossing a state line and it might affect the fare.

Here's an out-of-the-box idea: Post a message here: http://nh.craigslist.org/rid

To see if you can arrange a ride that way.

Besides Craigslist, which is a great idea, you might want to check local college/university boards that offer/want rides from place to place. I think it would depend on when you are making the trip. Long weekends and holidays are the best times to try to find a ride. And it doesn't have to be exact either...Portsmouth to Ogunquit...it could be a driver driving from Boston to Bangor, driving on 95N who could pick you up and drop you off.

Good luck!

ok thanx to you all!
i've called couple taxi companies in portsmouth and got the tariff (around 50$). so i think that since my start point is actually new york, its better if i just go to boston and then take amtrak service to wells ME which is some 5 miles above ogunquit. that way is less expensive, takes almost the same time and plus i'll have chance to visit some friends in boston :)
cheers!
