Auto Rental
Please note that The Lenair Healing Center is located in a somewhat rural area. Access is on a town-maintained gravel road. During the winter and early spring months (snow and mud season), it is sensible to rent a 4-wheel drive car at the airport, if one is available. The roads in Vermont are very well maintained, however there are occasional days of harsh driving conditions.

Cell Phone Service
Benson (as well as many rural parts of Vermont) has spotty cell phone service. Please plan ahead. Using a landline to contact us may be required in our immediate area.

Limousine and Shuttle Service
Being a rural state, transportation services in Vermont are not as plentiful as in major metropolitan locations – there are no taxis in Rutland.
