KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in North Kingstown
- Renting a car from any of the car rentals in North Kingstown offers unmatched flexibility and convenience. Unlike public transport options like buses or trains, a rented car from the North Kingstown car rentals allows you to explore the city on your schedule. It's especially advantageous for reaching destinations outside the town, such as Newport's Cliff Walk and its historic mansions, Jamestown's Beavertail State Park, or Narragansett's scenic beaches. With a rented car, you can efficiently navigate these attractions, which might be less accessible via public transport. Additionally, if you're interested in exploring the area's rich maritime heritage or enjoying leisurely drives along the coastal routes, a rental car becomes an ideal choice.
- Travelers flying to North Kingstown use Logan Intl Airport (BOS), New Bedford Regional Airport (EWB), or Providence T.F. Green Airport (PVD) as their destination airport. If you intend to rent a car at BOS, please note that the car rental services can be accessed in the Rental Car Center. The rental car center is easily accessible by a free airport shuttle from each terminal. At EWB, car rental services are accessed at the arrivals terminal near the baggage claim area.

Oct 2020
Cons:
Waiting outside before picking the car up and after dropping it off seems like a poor way to do business. I understand that in these times of COVID-19, businesses have had to make changes, but being able to wait inside for a ride seems do able.6,8 Okay
Sep 2020
Pros:
Staff was friendly, helpful and proactive. Thumbs up for this crew working at this location.Cons:
I understand about not letting people go inside due to pandemic issues. But please find a way to accommodate customers while waiting outside without having to be exposed to sun and rain. There must be a better way to operate. I also fell bad for these young staff working under these poor conditions. This is purely a top management responsibility.2,0 Poor

Pros:
The staff is very helpful and friendly.Cons:
The car was not spot clean. The windshield needs wiping from the inside in the vehicles I have rented. I normally take water and vinegar to do the cleaning myself, especially for night driving where the glare of the incoming cars make the marks more apparent.10,0 Wonderful
