Transportation to/from Hancock to Copper Harbor

Post by lainekd »

We're getting creative with our transportation options for our upcoming trip. I'm wondering if it's possible to take a ferry out and seaplane back. Looks like one way trips are ok with both but we'd have to leave our car in one place and arrive in another. Looks to be about an hour drive. Does anyone know of any options?

Try Copper Country Limo https://coppercountrylimo.com/. It's not clear from the website if they're operating or not.

I've been told that Lyft (and possibly Uber) are active in the Copper Country, although I haven't confirmed that myself. However, cell service can be hard to come by in Copper Harbor, and there probably aren't too many drivers in the area...

Personally, I'm surprised a few enterprising Michigan Tech students haven't set up a shuttle business. It would be a great way to work part time, take classes and make extra money.

I am using Superior Taxi on a trip. Number is 906-369-3285.

Copper County Limo was helpful but is booked at the same time already and was able to refer me.
