  • Renting cheap car rentals in Wellesley allows visitors to explore the city and its surrounding areas at their own pace and according to their preferences. Wellesley is also home to many significant historical landmarks, such as the Wellesley College Campus and the Hunnewell Estate, which can be challenging to navigate without a Wellesley car rental. Having access to a car rental in Wellesley will enable visitors to tour these places with ease while avoiding the hassle of dealing with public transportation schedules. Additionally, renting a car in Wellesley is often cheaper than taking a taxi or Uber, especially if you are traveling with a group of people or have multiple destinations to visit.
  • Boston Logan Airport (BOS) is the closest airport to Wellesley and is located approximately 17 miles east of Wellesley. The rental car offices at BOS are located in the consolidated rental car facility, which is accessible by the airport's shuttle bus. The shuttle stops are located outside each terminal, at the designated bus stops. Worcester Airport (ORH) is located approximately 33 miles west of Wellesley.  The car rental offices at ORH are located in the terminal building, making it easy for travelers to pick up their rental cars upon arrival. Bedford Hanscom Field Airport (BED) is the closest airport to Wellesley and is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Wellesley.

  • Wellesley is a suburban town located in Massachusetts, about 16 miles west of Boston. When driving cheap car rentals in Wellesley, there are a few things to keep in mind. Wellesley is a pedestrian-friendly town, and you should watch out for pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections. Moreover, some roads in Wellesley can be narrow, so use caution when driving on them, especially when there are parked cars on the side of the road.
  • Wellesley experiences heavy traffic during rush hour, which generally occurs between 7:00 am-9:00 am and 4:00 pm-6:30 pm on weekdays. The Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90), Route 9, and Route 16 are some of the major roads through Wellesley that can be affected by rush hour traffic. Wellesley also experiences cold, snowy winters.

It’s miserable service. They said there was no minivan which I rent and got confirmed. Even workers said no sorry and no explanation. Strongly recommend no use this service. Worst service I got. Even I wondered racism there. So disappointing.
