KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bedford

  • Located approximately 15 miles northwest of Boston, Bedford has a rich history dating back to the American Revolution. You won't be hard-pressed to see elegant colonial houses, local libraries that preserve Revolutionary history, and beautiful natural scenery. While you can get around the town using commuter buses and trains, public transportation can be noisy, uncomfortable, and time-consuming. You can avoid all the stress by picking up car rentals in Bedford, and you’ll have the flexibility and convenience of accessing various attractions at your own pace. You can visit Minuteman Commuter Bikeway and Bedford Public Library or shop at the town's famous Chip-In Farm via car.
  • If you’re flying to Bedford, you'll likely land at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), the nearest airport to Bedford at about 23 miles away. The upside to renting a car at the airport is you can conveniently continue your onward journey as soon as you land, while you’ll avoid the costly taxi fees and public-transportation prices. All rental-car companies at the airport have desks in the consolidated Rental Car Center (RCC), which you can access by boarding the blue-and-white shuttle buses at the curb side on the lower level of the airport terminal. Some rental-car providers at the airport are Avis, Hertz, National, Budget, Enterprise, and Easirent.
  • Driving car rentals in Bedford is relatively safe and manageable. Nevertheless, driving around the town has its fair share of challenges, so drivers must exercise caution and be attentive. Like any other town, pedestrians might jaywalk instead of crossing the street at crosswalks. Distracted driving—particularly text messaging—is a huge problem that might cause drivers to veer from their lane. It's critical to be alert when you see pedestrians and other motorists around you.
  • All major cities and towns in Massachusetts have traffic congestion during the peak travel times. Bedford is no exception. The town's roads become heavily congested with traffic during rush hour. In the morning, you can expect bumper-to-bumper traffic from 6 am to 10 am, while the evening rush hour lasts from about 3 pm to 7 pm. We recommend you drive during off-peak hours (11 am to 2:30 pm) and steer clear of major local highways and commuter zones that tend to be heavily traveled.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Bedford are around 76% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What car type is recommended for driving in Bedford?

    Rental-car providers offer a wide range of car rentals in Bedford, and your choice typically depends on your specific needs. Suppose you're traveling solo; in that case, you might rent a small compact car. If you've traveled to Bedford for business, a five-passenger luxury sedan is a good choice. You can also rent a standard or intermediate SUV if you're traveling with family, as these offer ample storage space and good ground clearance to make it over large rocks on any rough off-road trails, unpaved roads, or old and bumpy roads.

  • What's the speed limit in Bedford?

    Besides texting and other distractions, speed is the third highest cause of vehicular accidents in Bedford. So, observing the speed limits and slowing down at appropriate times in Bedford is crucial to avoid collisions and trouble with the law. The speed limit in densely populated neighborhoods, the downtown area, or unmarked roads is 25 mph. The maximum speed limit on highways is 65 mph, while the speed limit in school zones is 20 mph.

  • What are the best places to park in Bedford?

    Finding parking spaces for Bedford car rentals can be challenging, but you can alleviate the hassle by booking a hotel with complimentary parking. Many accommodations offer free parking to guests. Some of these include the Bedford Plaza Hotel, Hampton Inn Boston Bedford Burlington, Homewood Suites, Archer Hotel, Sonesta Simply Suites, and Extended Stay America Suites. When driving around town, you can find public parking spaces at top-rated garages near downtown Bedford, which puts you close to the town's dining and shopping spots. The average parking rate is about $2 an hour.

Cons:

The rental staff was nowhere to be found when I arrived to pick up the car. I was not able to rent a car and it completely messed up my travel plans. Do not rent from this location. It is completely unreliable. Stay clear. I will not attempt renting a car from this location ever again.
