KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Somerville

  • Very few things give the same thrill as going on vacation or even a business trip to a new city. If you want to make the most out of your Somerville trip, renting a car from car rentals in Somerville will be an ideal option. You'll have the flexibility to skip on public transportation, which in turn will result in utter freedom to explore any part of the city on your own schedule. You can personalize your trip as you deem fit and enjoy comfort, safety, and privacy, especially if you have young kids. You'll be free of restrictions, and you can pack as much cargo as you like since you have your own trunk, depending on the activities you intend to engage in. Imagine having the flexibility to venture out of the city to check out Old Sturbridge Village, about 58 miles away, or as far as Martha's Vineyard, about 94 miles away from the city, at your convenience.
  • The Rental Car Center at the Boston Logan International Airport is a few minutes away from the terminal. You'll find a shuttle bus at the lower level of the terminal that will take you directly to the center. You'll find Somerville car rentals along with the four-level garage, some of them including Enterprise, Thrifty, and Hertz.
  • Jaywalking has been an ongoing issue in Somerville for a couple of years now, to the extent of the police fining pedestrians for it. Route 28 and East Main Street are especially a problem for this. In downtown Somerville, be wary of other drivers who may not necessarily be concerned about running red lights. Avoid turning at a red light, going over sidewalks, and turning on a double yellow line.
  • Interstate 93 southbound in the morning commute at around 7am can be quite congested. It goes on until 9am, after which it dies down to manageable traffic. Evening traffic starts backing up at about 3pm, and you can expect a gridlock by 5pm, only to move a lot faster around 7pm. Highway 28 can be just as bad, so try to avoid these rush hours or give yourself extra time if you must commute. Downtown Somerville can also be congested during these times, so try to move earlier or later than everyone else to enjoy the road.
  • Medium rental cars in Somerville are around 72% cheaper than other car types, on average

2.0 Poor

Reid, Feb 2025

Passenger Van

KAYAK
Location drastically understaffed. One poor manager running the location alone, doing her best with a small stable of cars clearly behind on preventative maintenance. Waited two hours to get a vehicle (not in the class I reserved but a substitute), and with a broken window taped closed; otherwise I was told there would be no vehicles available. After returning the vehicle hours early I was charged an unknown $75 fee and received no receipt or accounting for this fee.
