KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Northampton

  • Car rentals in Northampton offer various benefits compared to using public transportation. They provide exceptional freedom to discover the city and its outskirts at your own speed, giving you the opportunity to visit less-traveled locations and picturesque countryside. By renting a car, you can save valuable time by avoiding the wait for buses or trains, allowing you to make the most of your sightseeing opportunities. Car rentals in Northampton are convenient, particularly when carrying luggage or shopping bags, as they provide a designated area to securely store your belongings. With Northampton car rentals, you can visit places like Smith College Botanic Garden and Mount Holyoke Range State Park.
  • If you fly to Northampton, you'll likely land at Bradley International Airport (BDL / KBDL), 27 miles away. Located within the Ground Transportation Center at Bradley International Airport (BDL / KBDL), all major rental car brands provide a seamless experience for picking up or returning vehicles and ensuring a swift departure.

Besides traffic challenges, navigating the city's one-way streets and limited parking spaces in the downtown area can be tricky.
