Flight
Providence, RI is the closest main airport to Block Island. From there you can schedule a Lyft or an Uber to the Point Judith, Ferry Terminal. I recommend Lyft as you can schedule ahead. THE AIRPORT SURGE PRICES LIKE CRAZY! Lyft is around $50-$60 **You will need at least one hour to get from airport to ferry drop off. Please plan accordingly.

Vehicle Reservations: Those who booked a vehicle reservation must arrive at the ferry terminal to check in their vehicles one hour in advance of sailing time. **All other travelers are recommended to leave enough time to park their vehicles and wait in line to purchase their ferry tickets prior to boarding. It is recommended you leave yourself at least 45 min-1 hour prior to sailing time to arrive at the ferry terminal. ** If you chose to rent a car you will need to book a Car Ferry.
