KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Boston

  • Travelling to Boston for a holiday is worthwhile because you'll visit several attractive and stunning locations in and outside the city. But getting a convenient means of transport to facilitate your movements to various destinations can be a chore. Therefore, consider getting Boston car hire to explore the city and nearby places seamlessly. It's fine to use public transport, but certain places are conveniently accessible by car. For instance, you'll have the freedom to visit several destinations, including Blackfriars Art Centre, The Bubble Car Museum, ARK Wildlife & Dinosaur Park. These destinations are far apart, making car hire in Boston a perfect means of transport to access them same day.
  • If you’re flying into Boston, you’ll likely land at Grimsby Humberside Airport (HUY), about 71.3 km (44.3 miles) from Boston City Centre. The popular car hire companies at the airport include Avis, Budget, Firefly, Europcar, Sunnycars, Easirent, FLIZZR, and Keddy. Locate the desks at the main Arrivals terminals past Baggage Claim and Security areas. Booking your Boston car hire online will save you from long queues at the airport.
  • Driving in Boston is generally an enjoyable experience, as drivers are generally less impatient and follow traffic regulations strictly. They drive on the left side and pass on the right. So, when driving your car hire in Boston, be sure to abide by all the traffic rules, such as traffic light regulations and speed limits. The city doesn’t allow drinking and driving, so you shouldn't have alcohol content in your system when driving your car hire in Boston.
