When choosing Amherst car rentals, it is recommended to rent a car that is suitable for the winter season. Therefore, a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive car is the best type of vehicle to navigate through snow, ice, and slippery conditions. A midsize SUV is larger than a sedan, making it easier to handle in snowy and icy conditions since it offers extra grip and stability. This type of car is also high enough off the ground, which decreases the chances of getting stuck in snow or other weather-related terrains.
The speed limit in Amherst, MA varies depending on the road type and zone. In residential areas, the speed limit is typically 25 mph, unless otherwise posted.

Jul 2018
Pros:
the employee at the New Haven Tweed Airport (a woman whose name I didn't catch) was the only competent and pleasant person I worked with. she was great.Cons:
From the amherst, ma pickup where garrett asked me to wait for 30 minutes while the delivered the car late, to the long wait and confusion with no staff at the UMASS location, to the online support on sunday who (INCORRECTLY and adamantly) told me my rental was actually due 3 hours before the reservation said it was due, I had a horrible experience. the only good thing was the helpful employee at the tweed new haven desk. also it was incredibly overpriced and i was given a nissan rogue qhen i requested a rav4. i get that it said i could get something similar, but i dont think many people would say those two cars are really comparable on safety, quality, and gas mileage. i will do everything in my power never to rent from you guys again.7,2 Good
Mar 2018
Pros:
The young man who helped me with the car was incredible...a great attitude and so positive..a real asset to your companyCons:
The office was closed when i got there. But the person came in from the College ave office ten min later. I don’t understand why the prices for UMASS are cheaper than College, which is 10 min away. What’s the point if that office is rarely open? The only vehicle available was a van, not a car, and it hadn’t been washed. Other than that, the service was great bc of the guy who checked me in.5,2 Fair

Pros:
Car was reliable, new, good on gas, etc.Cons:
Car smelled pretty bad the whole time. Seemed like a previous renter had thrown up in it and the car cleaning did not do the trick.2 locations in Amherst
