KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Boston

  • Boston city is surrounded by amazing attractions located in its neighboring cities. These are ideal weekend getaway venues for most people looking to relax and enjoy some adventure. Consider getting a car rental in Boston, MA, to visit Mary O’Malley Waterfront Park with friends and family. It will take approximately 12 minutes to get from Boston city center to the park, which is about 4.6 miles away, using the US- 1 N route. On the other hand, a public bus will take longer as you will arrive at your destination after about an hour.
  • Boston City welcomes cyclists to cycle on roads that are traveled by vehicles. It would be in your best interest to be keen on cyclists as you drive on the streets. Cyclists sometimes run red lights and hop from cycle tracks to roads when crossing. When approaching junctions and pedestrian crossings, ensure you are clear before proceeding to avoid injuring cyclists and pedestrians. Otherwise, you could secure huge fines or jail time when you break traffic laws. It can be a little tricky if your car rental has a faulty insurance cover. Be sure to drive out of the pick0up point when your insurance is in order.
  • Boston has plenty of vibrant nightlife. You can enjoy such fun activities at Tunnel, Royale, Jillian’s at Lucky Strike, Icon, and Banshee Bar Boston, among many others. When visiting this city to enjoy such, consider getting by using a rental car. Boston car rentals make it easy and fast to get from one nightlife venue to the next. For instance, it will take about 18 minutes to get to Banshee Bar Boston from Jillian’s at Lucky Strike instead of approximately 40 minutes by a public bus.
  • Rent a car during your stay in Boston and gain ultimate flexibility to explore not only the vibrant city but also the surrounding areas while you’re there, such as Connecticut or New Hampshire. Opting for a rental car will make trips to destinations further out of the city center far easier, for instance the Foxboro Football Stadium, which is 28 miles from Boston and by car can be conveniently reached in half an hour.
  • Boston International Airport has a Car Rental Center which features a 4-level garage for the abundance of cars on offer and can be reached by the airport’s free shuttle service. The shuttle bus leaves from all terminals every 5-6 minutes. The buses can be found at the lower level of every terminal and are blue and white. In the Rental Center, there are various different rental services including Zipcar, Entertainment, Avis or E-Z Rent-A-Car, so it should be no hassle to find the perfect ride to further destinations.
  • Boston has a lot of traffic and navigating yourself through the many intersections can be confusing at times, however navigation systems can be easily added to a rental car and this will help you reach further destinations without any problems. Boston’s pedestrians are known to jaywalk and cyclists regularly don’t adhere to the traffic light regulations, so paying extra attention and double-checking for pedestrians and cyclists while driving is very important.
  • Boston is one of the cities with the worst rush hour in the US, so try to avoid it by going to your destination before or after (rush hour is most intense approximately between 5pm and 6pm on weekdays). Especially the intersections along Interstate 93 and the Route 128 are known to be clogged with traffic and should be avoided during rush hour times altogether if possible, as alternative side roads are also congested during these times. Also bear in mind that winters can bring snow and ice to Boston, and you should drive extra carefully.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Boston for $65 or less
  • Book your rental car in Boston at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Boston are around 25% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Intermediate rental cars in Boston are around 11% cheaper than other car types, on average

Be sure to lock in advance the type of vehicle you want, and the type of fuel. Make it very clear, especially if you have to go out of town.

Don’t get the toll pass unless you don’t have a smartphone. There’s ways around tolls here.

Save A LOT by renting downtown, not at the airport. If you haven't been in Boston for a while, be prepared not to have any idea where you are.

We were for the most part ok using a map on Apple CarPlay. We missed a few turns but overall the traffic was pretty smooth.

Make sure you have gps and don't hesitate to use

To get to the Rental Car Center from the BOS Airport, locate rental cars, take the blue Massport shuttle bus and it will announce Rental Car Center because a lot of us on the bus were not entirely sure where to go to rent our cars. Beware when renting from Thrifty from the Boston Airport.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Check the quality of your car seat and your child’s fit in the car seat before leaving the lot to pick them up. Bring them with you to pick up the car if possible.
AbieNov 2023
Give a call to the rental center to see what is actually in their inventory before your trip.

While I don't recommend driving in the city of Boston, it was nice to have a car to drive outside of Boston. We enjoyed our time in Boston walking most of the time. On our last day in Boston we used a rental car to drive through New Hampshire and Maine.
EddieJul 2023
Amazing! Great selection of cars, easy pick up and drop off, VERY CLEAN and in great condition. Best value for a luxury SUV rental we have ever had!

Get Avis, Budget group as they have 5 or 6 people working booth, so line not long.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Don’t rent from Avis, we would recommend Hertz.
MartinJul 2023
If you aren’t familiar with Boston, have your GPS ready. It can be confusing. Also, there are a lot of one way streets, so watch the signs. You always have to be aware of which lane to be in. You might actually have to switch lanes frequently just to drive straight ahead, as lanes that were drive straight lanes turn into turn lanes.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Give yourself extra time as all rental cars are off property. You have to take a blue rental car bus to the center and then make sure you get on the correct blue bus when returning (as they go to different terminals at Logan).
Verified travelerJul 2023
The sumner tunnel is closed. So make sure you tell who ever you’re meeting that it will take a little longer.
AshishJul 2023
To get to rental station from shuttle could take about 30 minutes- to an hour to reach so plan accordingly
Verified travelerAug 2023
If you have a preference for electric or gasoline say so upfront. Be patient and prepared for lots of traffic.

Don’t use Dollar/Thrifty unless you’re prepared to wait! It’s a good deal financially, but a bit time suck.

I rented a car to drive home to ME so it’s a non issue but Boston is an extremely difficult city to drive in if you’ve never been here before. There is minimal signage and people from Massachusetts drive very differently. When they want to merge they just do. You must be on the defense at all times. There is always traffic too. You do not need a car if staying in the city proper in fact I’d recommend against it. Between the T and Uber and really just walking, you can get everywhere you need to, plus there really isn’t any parking except expensive garages if you’re lucky enough to find one. And if you’re renting from the airport to go elsewhere you’re fine with GPS. But with GPS trying to find something downtown? Good luck. You’ll be stuck in traffic for days and never find what you’re looking for. If you’re renting a car to drive to the cape especially in busy season I hope your flight is very early or late because you will be stuck in traffic for hours as well
Verified travelerMay 2023
Parking was the worst. You might as well Uber or bike everywhere. Driving was interesting as I'm used to lanes and there aren't many lanes here; the roads kind of just throw you in there and see who wins lol. The drivers are pretty nice though and easy to flow with. The roads were very clean and in good condition.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Driving is very challenging in Boston. Many roads that are underground and then have to double back to get on the proper highway. Actually, my Google maps did a reasonable job considering all the underground transportation.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Be patient! And careful on the dropoff not to take the keys with you when you drop the car, there is a $250 charge for doing that.

They wouldn’t let me rent a car. My cc was compromised and even though I had 2 forms of government ID, a credit card with my name on it, 2 credit cards in Apple Pay, and my husbands credit card, they wouldn’t let me rent the car because the only physical card I had with my name on it I wasn’t able to use because the bank deactivated it for security concerns and mailed me a new one. Enterprise was not nice about it and I was stranded at the airport as I was needing to get to Maine.

Associates and staff were awesome. Problem was with the car. 1) There were numbers written with marker paint on windows that they didn’t take off, 2) there were wipes, a bottle and chip bag left in front passenger seat, 3) the car smelled like cigarettes smoke and 4) the left back tired air pressure was low they warning alerts were on the whole time in car until I pumped it before returning. The associate said that it’s possible due to weather and I took her word for it. She did offer to have the other staff to take a look but at that point, we were already at the gate and about to head out. Drove from Boston to Worcester with the air pressure warning the whole time in the rain and on the highway. Thank goodness no problems at all.

I booked a rental and set the pickup time through Kayak. There was zero mention of the hours for the pickup location and when I arrived at 5 (my scheduled time) I was unable to obtain the vehicle since it was closed. This required me to argue with enterprise on the phone to get the reservation cancelled, additional charges, and then I had to pay for Uber to drive me to the next rental car location which was 24 hours- that was a 3 hour Uber ride.

I would not recommend using budget rental at Logan. Take 30 min to get shuttle (rental counter not at airport). Shuttle was full and barely room to get on. Spent 45 min in line for counter to get the car contract. Was hoping that was it but NO, 30 min wait to get car in 3rd line in the parking garage. Then was another 15 min to get out of garage because lines at the exit. Time from luggage to actually having car and out of Logan was TWO HOURS. I don’t know who owns Budget, but they should be REQUIRED to test their process from beginning to end. This process was not built to be customer friendly and guess it’s what to expect when same company owns all the rental car companies and no real competition.

Excellent! Fast, easy pick up and drop off and AMAZING customer service from Julio, they go above and beyond! Got my partner and I a Lyft home and ice cold bottled water - didn’t even have to ask! Will absolutely be using Hertz - Freeport in Boston for any car rental needs I have as long as I live here. Thank you!!!!!

I showed up with a prepaid reservation, ID and forms of payment, and even went to the trouble of checking in online. I spent 2:30 hours in front of the counter and on hold with Hertz customer support before we finally figured out the issue their system was having and got me my car. It was an absolute nightmare. Never again.

I booked my car for 48 hours, but when I tried to drop it off after 47 hours, I learned the drop off location had closed 30 minutes earlier. Because the location was closed at the expiration time of my reservation, they charged me an extra day It would have been nice, when I picked up the car, if they had pointed out that the return location was going to be closed at 5pm on Saturday, as I could have easily been there by the 4pm closing time.

Pick up was painful! Waited over 45 minutes to get to the agent. She was nice enough but then gave me a car that was too big and I took it because I just wanted to get out of there… as I was about to drive out I wanted a smaller car so I had to go back inside (and wait) for the car I originally wanted

I had to go to the counter to pick up the car. The women behind the counter talked me into the full option. I wasn’t paying attention as we were ready to get going but on top of the prepaid rental they added the fuel plus $100 in fees. Then at drop off there was no one around and the line at the counter to speak to an agent was too long as we need to catch our flight.

I was misled by the person who served me. At first she told me she had no vehicles available. Seeing that I had to drive quite far, he told me that he only had electric vehicles. When I told him that it could not be that, he told me that by paying more he could offer me a gasoline one. That's not how things are done, in the end I paid the extra for the necessity and urgency, but never again.

Customer service was great! The only problems were the price doubling form the first quote, and now a $78 toll charge. I did go through some tolls, but certainly not $78 worth. Ended up being WAY more expensive than I planned.

Our pickup experience was horrible!! At first, the man I spoke with was very nice and picking up the car was easy. I installed the car seat (ridiculous they charge for these, they are legally required for safety) and went to pick up my husband and son at our hotel. When we tried to get my son in the seat, we realized the straps would not tighten properly on the seat. The drivers seat was also too high to the ceiling for my torso height causing my view of the road to be blocked by the rear view mirror. We returned to the rental counter to get a new car seat and swap vehicles. It was 10:05 am or so at this point. We did not get on the road until 11:30AM due to so much back and forth trying to do a simple car seat and vehicle swap. We were repeatedly told to go to the wrong area for assistance, and had to drive through the Boston airport property each time to get there only to be told nobody could help us. It was extremely frustrating and delayed our trip by hours. Our poor toddler was stuck in his car seat for way more time than necessary as a result. Horrible experience.

We rented a compact SUV to be picked up on Friday at 7PM. We arrived to the rental car center to find no lines at all other vendors and a line of what had to be 100 people waiting for cars at Thrifty. There was one poor employee that looked like he was going to cry. The line was long because they had no cars. We received no notification that there were no cars. We were driving at least two hours north to New Hampshire so we made a whole new reservation with Avis. I have been told I can submit that reservation to make up for the difference in price for the purchase at Thrifty. How is this ok when they were significantly overbooked and had no product?! Will never book this way again.

I don't enjoy booking a car by entering my information and credit card online, then getting a text message to filll out more info, take photos of my license, sign, so I can expedite pickup. Then I still have to go to a counter and do all that again. 3 times. Book online, walk to a car and get in. So easy. But no. And I was a given a much smaller car then I anticipated. You have too many classifications of cars that are not clearly delineated when booking. I'll be going with Hertz next time even if they cost more.
