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.

When I picked up the car the fuel was 3/4 and I reported to the employee at the exit gate before I leave. She said she made a mark on my agreement and told me to return it the same way which I did. Now when I dropped off the van the gentleman told me to just put the key in the car and leave. I told him about the gas situation. He said ok. Now they email me the receipt showed that they changed me over $100.00 over from the previous agreement because of the gas. That is not right. I am going to contest unfair business practices

I went to the rental location. I was told that they did not have any cars. While waiting for an uber to go back to the hotel, someone returned a car that was then provided to me. While all of this was happening, I asked to use the restroom and was told it was only for employees. When I was finalizing my rental agreement, another customer came in and asked for the restroom while he waited, and he was told it was ok to use it. So, why was a paying customer like myself denied the use of the restroom, and another paying customer was allowed to use it? Is it because I am hispanic? I was also charged an extra fee for the car, because I had reserved a compact car, and I got a full car. Was this my fault? That you ran out of inventory? I had to take the first car that came in!!!

We had to wait several minutes for Guillermo to find us a car. In the meantime, at least 10 other people in line behind us, got their cars from other agents and left. When Guillermo finally found us a car, it turned out to be the wrong size. We requested and paid for a full-size vehicle, and we got an intermediate sized vehicle that squashed people together and was difficult to store all the luggage. The return check-in went smoothly, but the pick up was horrible, in the car we got was not what we ordered. So overall, this was not a good experience.

I rented through Costco. When I went to pick up my car, the service person said I was on the "do not rent to" list. I believe it had to do with a claim I filed last year that was resolved (or so I thought). The service person gave me a number to call and I got a voice mail twice which wasn't helpful - they never did call me back. The service person then made a few calls and finally agreed to rent to my husband. The service person was very helpful. It would have been nice to have known about this situation before showing up at the Budget counter.

Pros:

The car didn't break down.

Cons:

Adequate staff. The line was 2 hours long one person working while all the other rental companies had an average of 3 people working with no lines. The car provided was not as ordered , we ordered a fill size SUV and was given a 7 passenger kia with no room for luggage and could barely accommodate three car seats. After standing in line for 2 hours I took the car as we still had a 2-hour drive ahead of us. When I called 50 they were closed. I called them the next day and was put on hold for 1 hr and 15 min trying to get them to deliver me a different car. I never spoke to anyone and the call was dropped after waiting that long . We never got the car as ordered and they are still trying to charge me for the full size SUV. I will never rent from them again or Dollar.

First off I ordered an intermediate suv from you purposely not picking an electric one for which you had options. However you switched me to price line and price line downgraded my car to impact electric suv. I spent 2 hours on the phone. With them no resolve. After waiting 1 hour I. The rental line The rental company convinced me to pay them to “upgrade” back to the intermediate suv. The upgrade was more than the original rental but I had no choice since an electric wasn’t going to work and price line was solving nothing despite the fact I have the original order screen shot showing I purchased an intermediate suv. So we get ti the pickup area they only have electric sitting there and are pushing people to take them. They have gas cars but are keeping them offsite. Waiting their anouthet hour before we were given a vehicle in the end after paying for an intermediate suv 2 times over we were given a Chevy Malibu. A car not even an suv. I Will never do business with Dollar, price line or kayak again. The only real lose is Kayak I have been a customer for 15 years but after this I now longer can trust I’ll be getting what I paid for. My suggestion to you is don’t do business with others you can’t trust because it makes all the search variables you have useless and loses your customers trust.

The class of vehicle reserved and paid for in advance was not delivered. After a two hour wait to receive the vehicle I was offered a lower class vehicle for no discount and when I said so the attendant asked if I wanted to be put back to the end of the 90 minute line. He also took a bribe in front of other customers and moved a customer to the front. Raymond at Boston airport is a liability. They are understaffed and mismanaged. Never again.

Pros:

Car was clean, and manager at drop-off was kind enough to compensate us for the issues we ran into with the car.

Cons:

Agent at the counter tried to deceptively add a hefty insurance charge to the trip. Car clearly had not been serviced in a while because it developed major engine issues just a few days into our trip (including the engine shutting off while traveling through the mountains, we needed to engage the parking brake to stop the car), and exchanging it was a very difficult and laborious process.

The car was reserved and when we arrived they stated they did not have the car we reserved. They only had upgrades and made us pay $125 extra plus tax because they didn’t have what we reserved. It was such a scam and we should not have had to pay all that extra money if they failed to have what we reserved. I will NEVER use them again.

Pros:

Was economical. Car was fine, pretty typical rental process.

Cons:

Employees are trained to try to get you to purchase all the useless extras. The counter pickup experience is very slow, with the process sometimes taking 20-30 minutes for a single customer as they try to convince them that the insurance and extras are worth it. It's not that much different than other rental places, but definitely slower and slightly more obnoxious. Still, I'll always go with the cheapest rental.

Good price, nice car

Cons:

Our flight was changed due to a storm and when I called Advantage, the phone agent said as long as we picked it up within 24 hours of our original reservation, the car would be held for us and no changes needed to be made for the reservation. However, when we arrived, with our young children who had just traveled by plane, the car had NOT been held for us and we'd been marked down as a "no show." When we told the agent at the desk (Alexandra Garcia in Boston) that we'd called ahead, she said we could pay extra for a more expensive car, but she took no responsibility for the problem and was incredibly rude. What a horribly disappointing experience.
