Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Boston car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility while traveling is important. That's why most prepaid bookings provide a full refund if you cancel at least six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. It's still good to go through your rental policy though as there are some exemptions. If there's nothing specified there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.

Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no issue for an economy car — the most in-demand rental type in Boston. Jump behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic effortlessly. Reliable, affordable and with terrific mileage, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Boston can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Boston?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related restrictions to bear in mind before locking in your wheels in Boston. If you're a young motorist, most rental providers will charge an extra fee and limit the kinds of cars you're able to rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between outlets. It's a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Boston?
Renting a car in Boston is a breeze. Normally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. After choosing your wheels, look up the terms and conditions to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to the pickup date.
What side of the road do you drive on in Boston?
Motorists in Boston drive on the left, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Spend a bit of extra time getting comfortable with your car before getting on the road.

Where can I find a Boston car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Boston rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's ideal to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
