KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Plymouth

  • Driving a car hire in Plymouth allows you to explore the area at your own pace. You are not restricted by public transportation schedules or routes, allowing you to visit various attractions, beaches, and scenic spots at your convenience. Plymouth is rich in history, with attractions such as Plymouth Rock, Plimoth Plantation, and Mayflower II. Having a Plymouth car hire enables you to easily access these landmarks, and explore other nearby destinations, such as Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket.
  • The closest airport to Plymouth, Massachusetts, is Logan International Airport (BOS) in Boston. Logan International Airport is approximately 43 miles north of Plymouth and is the primary airport serving the region. At the airport, you can hire a car from the Car Rental Center, which is serviced with a bus from the airport terminals every 5–6 minutes. At the Car Rental Center, you can find car hire companies such as Sixt, Enterprise, Thrifty and Avis, among many others.
  • When driving your car hire in Plymouth, it is important to keep in mind that like many popular tourist destinations, Plymouth can experience traffic congestion, especially during peak travel seasons of the summer months with June, July and August being the busiest. Heavy traffic can lead to delays, frustration, and potential hazards on the road. Therefore, it is important to plan your travel times accordingly and remain patient while navigating congested areas to avoid potential accidents.
  • Weather conditions in Plymouth, especially during winter months, can be challenging for driving. Snowstorms, icy roads, and reduced visibility may increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, if you are visiting Plymouth during inclement weather, it is strongly recommended to exercise caution, adjust your driving speed, and ensure your rental car is equipped with appropriate tyres or chains to avoid any dangerous situations on the roads. Be aware of snow ploughs on the road during the winter and bear in mind that they travel under 35 miles mph.
  • Compact hire cars in Plymouth are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Plymouth?

    When booking your car hire in Plymouth keep in mind the season you will be travelling in and whether you are sticking to the city roads or planning on travelling further into the Massachusetts state. A mid-size saloon is a popular choice for driving in Plymouth. It offers a good balance of comfort, fuel efficiency, and manoeuvrability, making it suitable for navigating city streets and highways. If you are driving in the winter months, then a 4x4 may be more advisable due to the snowy and icy road conditions.

  • What is the speed limit in Plymouth?

    The speed limit in Plymouth and other residential areas is typically 25 mph and in urban areas and business districts, the speed limit is usually 30 mph. When driving on most state and local roads outside residential and urban areas, the speed limit is typically 35 to 45 mph. However, always follow posted speed limit signs, as they can vary depending on the road conditions and location. On highways and interstates in Massachusetts, the maximum speed limit is generally 65 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park my car hire in Plymouth?

    During your stay in Plymouth it is good to know that there are free parking areas, such as the free car park on Spring Lane, located within walking distance from several tourist sites, such as Grist Mill and the historic part of the city. Be careful because the car park can fill up quite quickly through the spring to autumn months. You can also find free street parking along Court Street (Route 3A), Main Street, Main Street Extension, Market Street and Depot Square. Here, the parking is only free for the first 2 hours.

Hertz refused to honor the Kayak price, said Kayak had made a mistake and they wouldn't do anything about it.They quoted a price that was 250% higher than the Kayak price and wouldn't budge. I was told that Kayak is a third party agent and couldn't make an offer like that. I tried calling both Hertz and Kayak customer service and had no success. I am very disappointed in both Hertz and Kayak and do not intend to use either again.
