Jul. 2019
Pros:
Nothing - I was unable to make the rental because the hours of the rental car location were a lie.Cons:
The online hours listed for Budget Car Rental say it is open until 7 pm. However, when I arrived at 4 pm, there were no employees there. I waited for an hour, but no one showed up. I called the location, & it said "all of our employees are busy" - the store hours are a lie.8.4 Excellent
Jun. 2019
Pros:
Easy pick up, nice car.Cons:
There was no one at the counter mid-afternoon to receive my car. I waited for 20 minutes and then left my Budget key in the dropbox even though the box was only marked for Avis, not Budget.4.0 Okay
Oct. 2018
Pros:
Ease of dropping off the car. Simply pulled into the lot adjacent to the terminal, parked, and dropped keys at counter.Cons:
The agent’s attitude when I mentioned that I was expecting a discount for returning the vehicle with more gasoline then when I picked it up. He immediately said that was not possible; even though, I was told differently by a Budget representative when I called the company’s customer service line earlier in the day. He also did not seem interested in my concerns regarding the cleanliness of the vehicle I noticed shortly after picking up the vehicle.2.0 Mediocre
Aug. 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
The car given to me had very bad brakes and I was unable to drive the car. I took it back the next morning and they refused to give me a full refund for the car. It wasn't even the car I had intended to rent! The service was horrible at the counter and they didn't even have the car I wanted to rent. The customer sevice with Budget has been awful. I am still fighting to get my refund for the one day I did not even drive the car!!!9.2 Excellent

Both the Worcester and Westboro MA offices did an excellent job taking care of my needs and requirements.Cons:

Jan. 2018
Pros:
Counter service was super nice and apologetic the type of car I reserved was unavailable.Cons:
The car I reserved was not available. Three new Subaru's in the lot would not start so I was given a just returned Nissan Versa. The car reeked of throw up and when I stopped down the road to fill up the gas tank which was on empty - I then saw the entire drivers side of the vehicle has throw up from the drivers window all down the car - now frozen in the lovely weather. It was a long ride from Mass to New York in a puke smelling tiny car.Hertz

Top tips for renting a car in Worcester
- A Worcester car rental will give you the freedom to explore all that there is to see and do in the region. It will permit you to see and do more off the beaten track without being dependent on local transport. Car rentals in Worcester will give you the convenience to step beyond the city center and take a number of easy drives to explore the area, such as Newport in Rhode Island, or hug the coast and stop in at coastal towns like Cape Cod, Gloucester, or Rockport. The nearby Berkshires are another fabulous visit a close drive away. You can also take a spin down to the Boston harbor to eat seafood, sightsee, and enjoy the history of the city for the day. You can even drive further north and check out historic Salem.
- If you plan to fly into Worcester, you’ll arrive at the Worcester Regional Airport (ORH). Regardless, the Worcester Regional Airport is a great place to pick up your car rentals in Worcester, as it is roughly a 10min drive to the city center. Simply proceed to the car rental counters, which are located in the main terminal on the lower level of the airport. The international Boston Logan Airport (BOS) is another great alternative as there are sometimes more flight options and the airport is under an hour away. The Boston Logan Airport car rental center is located on Tomahawk Drive.
- While driving in the city of Worcester, take note of and approach carefully busy intersections and stop signs, as some have potentially hindered views. Also, drive carefully around pedestrians around the Southwest cutoff and cyclists around the Seven Hills cycling routes.
- Rush hour in Worcester starts at 6:30am and is usually cleared up by 9:30am. Later in the day, roads start getting congested around 2:30pm until about 6pm. Interstate 290 experiences the worst congestion, so avoid driving on this major highway if possible during these peak times. If you’re on a schedule or catching a flight, keep these times in mind when planning your route. Worcester gets considerable snow in the winter, so be sure to practice safe winter driving practices, such as trying not to drive during a blizzard, making sure to clear snow and ice from your windows and lights, leaving a good amount of space between you and other drivers, and braking early.
- Book your rental car in Worcester at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Standard rental cars in Worcester are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average
