KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Methuen

  • Are you planning a visit to Methuen? That's a fantastic decision because the city features a wide selection of stunning and vibrant attractive areas making it well worth a visit. But you can elevate your stay by getting car rentals in Methuen to access several destinations. Although the city has good public transportation services, you want to avoid the hassle of rushing to the bus station to get to your location. To that end, Methuen car rentals offer affordability and convenience for getting to tourist spots. Art lovers can visit Sutton State Forest, 48 miles; Methuen Museum of History, 37.6 miles; or Windham Town Beach, 11.3 miles from the city center.
  • If you’re flying into the city, you’ll land at Manchester Airport (MHT), about 26 miles from the city center. Take advantage of the multiple car rental companies at the airport to get your Methuen car rentals. Expect Alamo, Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, Xpress-Rent-A-Car, and National. The rental desks are located onsite across the baggage claim areas.
  • Driving your car rentals in Methuen is a safe and enjoyable experience, thanks to the well-developed roads. Other road users, including commuter bus drivers, are less impatient. They strictly adhere to traffic rules. So, be sure to abide by all the traffic rules. Slow down when approaching roundabouts. Also, the city has a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving. Therefore, you should not have alcohol in your system when driving your Methuen car rentals.
  • Like other cities in Massachusetts, Methuen experiences dense traffic, especially during rush hours, because most residents access the city center via personal vehicle. Typically, morning rush hours begin at 6 am to 10 am, and the evening rush hours start at 4 pm to 7 pm. Plan your routes well to avoid traffic delays impacting your driving experience.

Consider renting a compact if you travel alone and have just a few bags. But when you are in groups of four or five, look for an intermediate or standard car rental. Passengers traveling upcountry should go for a vehicle with a big fuel tank since gas stations are far apart in rural areas. But if you plan to visit off-roads, consider an SUV to beat navigation issues.

The city has multiple posted speed limits. Pay attention and abide by them to avoid speeding tickets.

  • Where are the best places to park in Methuen?

    You'll ultimately need a parking lot when driving your car rentals in Methuen. In this case, consider downtown because there is a wide selection of options. Look for parking spots around industrial or commercial areas. Parking in downtown Methuen lets you stay closer to the city's essential amenities like accommodations, eateries, business centers, and vibrant nightlife. Additionally, you'll access the freeways seamlessly, enabling you to beat traffic congestion on streets. But before parking, understand the parking policy and requirements. The cost of parking your car rentals in Methuen varies significantly with location. However, it costs around $1.25 per hour.

Pros:

The pick up staff was very nice and off hours drop off was easy.

Cons:

The car was disgusting. Given pandemic conditions and hertz emails saying they were doing a higher level of cleaning it was obvious this car wasn’t even vacuumed and we found old dirty glasses in the seat pockets. I spent two hours cleaning the car surfaces to make sure it was safe for my family. I sent emails to hertz as you can’t get a hold of anyone to talk to them and 0 response. Will not rent from hertz again as they obviously don’t take cleanliness during a pandemic seriously.
