KAYAK’s 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.
  • You should be aware that renting a tiny automobile is more practical whether you're in the Central Business District, Belmont Hill, or Chandler Hill because these locations have moderate to heavy traffic. If you are traveling to any of these three places, the consideration of renting a small car will be cost-effective since you will be able to save up on fuel and be able to easily maneuver the busy streets. It is advisable you stick to the expressway when driving cheap car rentals in Worcester since it has moderate to no traffic.
  • The availability of several cheap car rental providers in Worcester has made it possible to access different parts of Worcester. The fact that they are all conveniently situated within the area encourages you to use the 290 Interstate, which passes through the lovely city. The 290 Interstate will undoubtedly ensure that you are connected to the remainder of the city because it branches to various other highways. Route 9 provides a direct connection to the highway, allowing for a comfortable ride to Boston. It also makes it easy and quick to drive from Worcester to Springfield or the Mass Turnpike through the 1-90 or 1-290, respectively.
  • There are several off-road trails in Worcester that you may take advantage of if you enjoy off-roading. That includes the 35-mile trip to Holland and the Gun Tail, which are in the southwest and offer similarly difficult terrain to the picturesque locations. Thrifty and Enterprise have SUVs that are off-road ready. Some of the available vehicles have substantial luggage capacity that let you transport your camping gear. Additionally, Enterprise has several cars that can accommodate more than five passengers, which is perfect if you're going off-roading with a group.
  • 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 41% cheaper than other car types, on average

Friendly and accommodating staff.

Cons:

I don’t know if there’s a way to incentivize other renters not to smoke in the cars. That was an issue that came up for me.
