As Boston is a city brimming with cars and limited parking spaces, driving a compact car is preferable to bulky vehicles. Boston’s streets are also very narrow in many places, so choosing a smaller car makes navigating the streets easier.
If you are driving through a school area, you must not go over 20mph. In popular areas with narrow streets and bends in the road the driving limit is 30mph, whereas you are allowed to drive at 40mph on the outskirts of the city where there is more space. On regular highways you can speed up to 50mph and 60mph on an interstate highway. All roads are marked with speed limit signs as well. Especially at intersections, there may be traffic cameras, so be sure to adhere to all road regulations.
Finding a parking space in Boston can be like finding a needle in a haystack and be mindful when you do find a park, that there are lots of parking meters around. Boston also has multiple parking garages like the Boston Common Parking Garage where you will pay around $11 per day, or the Post Office Square Garage for about $9 per day. Alternatively, there are also parking lots outside the city to avoid traffic altogether. Riverside Station Parking on Grove Street, has the green line subway which can take you into Boston in under an hour. Rote 128 in Westwood is another parking lot in the outskirts of Boston, where you can take the Franklin Line train into the city.

Pros:
Excellent staff at pick up and drop off.Cons:
Car smelled like cigarette smoke and wasn't very clean. Line to pick up car at the airport was VERY long, took over an hour to get the car.8.0 Very good
Anonymous, May 2021
Pros:
Easy pick up and drop off for the most part at the airport except the National employees weren’t at the counter when flights got in making a great many people standing in line for both National and Alamo so the Alamo people could help us.Cons:
Car smelled like something had been either in the car and got moldy or a wet animal had been inside causing the first day to be almost Unbearable to drive in.10.0 Wonderful
David, Dec 2020
Cons:
No one at counter at BOS upon arrival at 10:30pm. No sign saying to go up to where cars are. Finally found my way there. After saying they didn’t have the 8 seat suburban available that I had reserved, they eventually found one. Everything was great after that.2.0 Poor

Anonymous, Aug 2020
Pros:
They had issues with their credit card reader/computer and I had to wait for them to call my credit card company to verify it. This was at 1100pm after a long day of travel.... so it was a little annoying.Cons:
The car was pretty beat up on the exterior and interior. Good news was they didn’t charge me for the condition of the car. I would have spent most of the rest of night circling things on the form otherwise.3 locations in Boston

Sondra, May 2021
Cons:
The pick up in Boston was horrendous. Waited 30mins for the shuttle which by then was packed even by pre-COVID standards. ZERO safety protocols in place. Then it took another TWO hours in line to get a filthy car with multiple warning lights activated. No thanks.3 locations in Boston
