There are also plenty of hotel options and resorts that are closer to the major attraction sites. Unlike other cities in the US, such as New York and Philadelphia, which experience high congestion levels throughout the day, Boston experiences traffic congestion during the rush hours only. However, suppose you have booked hired cars in Boston, it’s recommended to avoid the major roads in the city, such as Fresh Pond Parkway, American Legion Highway in Revere, and Morton Street, as they are constantly congested. If you want to experience fantastic road trips, airport transfers, or see nearby attractions, you can book a cheap car rental in Boston. There is ample parking in Boston, as the city has more than 12% of land dedicated for parking.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Boston?

Wondering if booking a rental car when visiting Boston is worth it? The answer is yes. hired cars in Boston help to move anywhere and anytime, especially when visiting the suburbs. Boston is one of the busiest towns in the US, and therefore you need a city car rental to visit some of the tourist sites that aren’t walkable. As a Boston visitor, you should visit the neighbouring towns and enjoy the serenity and outdoor activities in those areas. For example, you can drive to Manchester and visit their Science and Industry Museum, marvel at the city's ornate town hall, visit Old Trafford, and explore the creative Northern Quarter. You will need a cheap car rental or people carrier rental in Boston to visit some of these places since they cannot be accessed by foot. Also, most hotels and the city's historical landmarks are within the city centre, making it easy to get around on foot or using public transportation in this area.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Boston

In Boston, you can be fined heavily for using a hand-held electronic device while operating a motor vehicle. Talking, texting, or using the internet on your phone is prohibited when driving except when used in hands-free mode. The law in Boston requires every driver driving either a private or a passenger's vehicle to wear a seat belt or sit in a child passenger restraint. Any driver found violating this law is eligible for a hefty fine. This law applies to both natives and visitors who are driving hired cars in Boston. If you are visiting for the first time and planning to use rental cars in Boston, it is good to check with the city's Department of Motor Vehicles for recent law changes.

Will I need a special driving license or permit to drive a rental car in Boston if I'm visiting from another country?

If you aren’t a US citizen and want to use Boston car rentals or an electric car rental in Boston, you must produce a valid, unexpired driving license from your home country. In Boston, you aren’t allowed to use learner's permits or photocopies of your license.
