Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “Which days have the lowest car rental rates?”, “Which month has the best car rental rates?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “How does the daily rate change with rental length?” and “How much do rentals cost by car type?” are built from the daily rates Priceline customers actually paid for rental cars in Boston, grouped by pick-up month, day of the week, how far ahead they booked (up to 90 days), how many days they rented and the type of car. A city’s charts include rentals picked up at its airports.
Where a location has too few rentals to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from nearby locations with similar prices and fit it to the rates booked here.
Because past rates don’t reflect today’s market, each chart is then fitted to the rates found in this page’s current search: its value at the search’s own pick-up month, day, booking lead time and rental length is set to the current good-deal rate.
The Good to Know deal cards and the cars listed on this page come directly from that recent search, not from historical bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I consider renting a car for my Boston trip?
Renting a car in Boston gives you incredible freedom and convenience, allowing you to explore beyond the city's historic core. It's perfect for venturing out to the beautiful New England coastline, visiting charming surrounding towns, or easily getting to destinations like Cape Cod or the White Mountains at your own pace. While Boston has public transit, a car opens up a world of possibilities for an enriching travel experience.
What's the average cost for car rentals in Boston, Massachusetts?
Renting a car in Boston typically runs about $79 per day, with January being the cheapest month at $54 and October the priciest at $97. The most affordable car type is the Supplier Choice Car at $63 per day, while the Mid Size SUV is the most popular choice. Rates barely change by day of week, staying between $78 and $79.
Where are the main car rental pick-up locations in Boston?
You'll find the most convenient car rental pick-up locations right at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), which offers direct access to a wide array of rental agencies. There are also various downtown and suburban locations if you prefer to pick up your vehicle after arriving and settling in.
What types of vehicles are typically available for rent in Boston?
Boston's car rental fleet is diverse, offering everything from economy cars that are perfect for city driving and parking, to comfortable sedans for longer journeys, SUVs for families or those needing more space, and even luxury vehicles for a special touch. You'll find options to suit every travel style and budget.
Is it easy to navigate Boston and the surrounding areas by car?
Navigating Boston's historic streets can be a bit challenging at first, especially with one-way streets and unique layouts. However, with GPS or a good mapping app, you'll quickly get the hang of it. Once you're out of the immediate downtown, road networks are generally straightforward, making it easy to explore the wider Massachusetts area and beyond.
What are the common parking options in Boston?
Parking in Boston can be pricey and limited, especially in popular downtown areas. You'll find options like metered street parking (often time-restricted), public parking garages, and hotel parking (which may incur additional fees). Planning your parking in advance, especially for popular attractions, is a savvy move.
Do I need special insurance for a rental car in Boston?
While your personal car insurance or credit card might offer some coverage, it's wise to review your policy details carefully. Rental agencies offer options like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), supplemental liability insurance, and personal accident insurance. Consider what gives you peace of mind for your Boston adventures.
What's the typical age requirement to rent a car in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, the minimum age to rent a car is generally 21 years old. Renters between 21 and 24 years old may incur a 'young renter' fee. Always check the specific rental agency's policy as age requirements and fees can vary.
Are there any toll roads I should be aware of in or around Boston?
Yes, Boston and the surrounding areas have several toll roads, bridges, and tunnels, notably the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90), the Callahan and Sumner Tunnels to Logan Airport, and the Tobin Bridge. Many tolls are electronic (EZ-Pass/E-ZPass MA), so your rental car may come equipped with a transponder or you'll be billed by mail. It's good to be aware of potential tolls to avoid surprises.
Can I add an additional driver to my Boston car rental?
Absolutely! Most rental companies allow you to add additional drivers, though there might be a daily fee per extra driver. All additional drivers must meet the same age and licensing requirements as the primary renter and be present at the time of pick-up to sign the rental agreement.
What documents do I need to pick up my rental car in Boston?
You'll typically need a valid driver's license from your home country or state, a major credit card in the primary renter's name, and your rental reservation confirmation. International travelers may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to their valid foreign license.
What are popular day trips from Boston by car?
With a rental car, you can easily embark on fantastic day trips! Explore the historic charm of Salem, Massachusetts; enjoy the beaches of Cape Cod; discover the quaint towns of coastal New Hampshire; or even head north to the scenic White Mountains. Your car unlocks endless possibilities for exploring New England.
Should I book my Boston rental car in advance?
Booking your Boston rental car in advance barely changes the price, with rates staying around $78-79 per day whether you book the same day or a week out. Since timing doesn't save you money, booking early is still worth it to ensure you get the car type you want, especially SUVs and minivans which are popular and may sell out.
What if my travel plans change after booking my car rental?
Priceline understands that plans can shift. Most car rental reservations offer flexibility, allowing you to modify or cancel your booking, often without a penalty, depending on the terms of your specific reservation and how far in advance you make changes. Always check the cancellation policy at the time of booking.
What's the best way to get a great deal on a car rental in Boston?
To snag a savvy deal on your Boston car rental, compare prices across different providers on Priceline, book in advance, consider renting during off-peak times if possible, and be flexible with your vehicle type. Signing up for email alerts can also help you catch exclusive discounts. It's all about empowering you to find the perfect ride for your trip!
