While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Boston?

Wondering if booking a rental car when visiting Boston is worth it? The answer is yes. hired cars in Boston help to move anywhere and anytime, especially when visiting the suburbs. Boston is one of the busiest towns in the US, and therefore you need a city car rental to visit some of the tourist sites that aren’t walkable. As a Boston visitor, you should visit the neighbouring towns and enjoy the serenity and outdoor activities in those areas. For example, you can drive to Manchester and visit their Science and Industry Museum, marvel at the city's ornate town hall, visit Old Trafford, and explore the creative Northern Quarter. You will need a cheap car rental or people carrier rental in Boston to visit some of these places since they cannot be accessed by foot. Also, most hotels and the city's historical landmarks are within the city centre, making it easy to get around on foot or using public transportation in this area.

Will I need a special driving license or permit to drive a rental car in Boston if I'm visiting from another country?

If you aren’t a US citizen and want to use Boston car rentals or an electric car rental in Boston, you must produce a valid, unexpired driving license from your home country. In Boston, you aren’t allowed to use learner's permits or photocopies of your license. In case you are a foreigner, and your license is in a different language other than English, you will be required to submit an international driver's permit alongside your valid driving license.

When I dropped the car off with Janet R. she was excellent! I was wearing a sling on my right arm because I have broken my shoulder. She couldn’t have been more helpful with me and my luggage. The wheel on the luggage had broken and I couldn’t make it move with one hand. She brought it downstairs for me on the elevator. I so appreciated that! She deserves a raise, and a promotion!

Person at drop-off claiming to be the owner of the location - he did NOT give me his name - was incredibly intense and rude about having the car cleaned before drop off. The car was clean - we only used it for 6 hours - but he insisted we get it fully washed or we would be charged $450. As I tried to show how clean it was by pulling out the car mats, he touched me to pull me back from the car and told me to get off his lot. It was a terrible and intense 15 min experience and I believe I was trying to be taken advantage of (other people at drop off felt the same way). I eventually just asked for my receipt and he told me he wouldnt charge me the $450 after all. I think there may be some sort of scam (in concert with the carwash) going on or there is just something very different about this location. I will NEVER rent from there again and I may never rent from Avis again because of this experience.

There were a few people outside that saw me arrive but did nothing to help and quickly disappeared. Went inside to the counter and waiting in line for a while... only to finally get to the front and be told "oh you just have to leave the keys in the car and you can go." Terrible.

After making the reservation on line, I went in person to the office to add an additional day to the rental. After waiting in line for 30 minutes at an office in downtown Boston staffed by a single person (the rare office not out at the airport), the person in the office did this and quoted me a price which was essentially the same as the initial quote with one more day at the same daily rate. When I went later to print the rental information which was emailed to me I discovered that the price had gone up by 35% (for taking a 9 day rental to a 10 day rental) with an increase in both the base rate and the daily rate. After close to an hour on the phone with unhelpful customer service, I cancelled the rental and went to Enterprise instead — a price comparable the original quote from Hertz, with an office staffed by multiple people eager to be helpful. An experience which will shift my loyalty in the future.

Tried to rent me a Tesla, but where we were going did not have easy access to charging stations, then had to pay to “upgrade” to a lower class gasoline car. This was not requested or mentioned in reservation, but what can you do. I tried calling to change my vehicle drop off location to another near by location and customer service was poor, lady barely spoke English and could not understand what I was asking. I basically gave up. The car was otherwise fine.

I was delayed because of storms and finally got to Boston around 330 am and the offices had closed at 130am so I had to wait an additional 2 and a half hours before I could try to pick up my rental. When it was finally time to pick up my car they took an additional hour getting cars “ready” for customers. The car I had had been cleaned in haste and there was still food and trash underneath the seats but at this point I was ready to just be on the road to my destination. When it was time to drop off the car I was charged an additional $113 dollars for taxes and surcharges which I thought was included with the initial rental. Knowing how Thrifty operates I will chose a different company from now on and will not refer them to anyone.
