Renting a car in Boston

Boston is one of the few American cities where a car is a liability inside it and essential outside it. The North Shore, Cape Cod, the Berkshires, Vermont and the White Mountains are all within a half day, and none of them are reachable on the T.

Our Boston fleet is deliberately smaller-bodied — the streets and garages here punish anything oversized — with all-wheel-drive crossovers on hand for ski season. We fit an E-ZPass in every car because the Pike and the tunnels are cashless.

Drives worth the miles

Cape Cod and the Outer Cape

Ninety minutes to the bridge, longer on summer Fridays. Leave before 2pm or after 8pm and you will save an hour.

White Mountains via I-93

Two and a half hours north for the Kancamagus and Franconia Notch. Peak foliage is the first two weeks of October.

What Boston renters say

4.50· 2 reviews in Boston

5 out of 5 stars
Small enough for my garage, comfortable enough for the Kancamagus in foliage season. E-ZPass included, tolls at cost.

Cape week with three kids. Delivered to Cambridge on time; the bridge traffic on the way down was the only bad part and that is not their fault.
