Cambridge, Massachusetts is world-known for being the home of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The city is part of the Greater Boston area. When visiting, you’ll want to see Harvard’s iconic campus and square as well as the museums near it like The Harvard Museum of Natural History. The city of Boston is a close drive away and there you will see Freedom Trail, the route central with museums and historic sites, and the Boston Public Garden. Finding street parking spots in the city can get a bit competitive, but there are various parking lots to leave your Cambridge car rental if necessary. There are at least 20 car hire locations in Cambridge to choose from, plus the agencies at the Boston Logan International Airport. The most common are the economy car rentals but they also have the option for luxury hired cars in Cambridge as well.
If you’re in Cambridge only to see the city centre, you can definitely walk around as it’s very pedestrian oriented and safe. However, we suggest you make the most out of your trip and try to find a cheap car rental in Cambridge. This will give you access to all the attractions in the area and put less of a restriction on your trip’s timeline. Your trip to Cambridge wouldn’t be complete without seeing Portsmouth. It’s one of North America’s oldest cities along with Boston and only about one hour north in New Hampshire. If you’re feeling adventurous, we recommend not missing out on a bike ride along the Shining Sea Bikeway on Cape Cod. When driving your car rental in Cambridge, it’s best if you avoid Route 28, which goes into Boston, especially during rush hour. Parking in the city may take a bit of patience but there are car parks throughout Cambridge if you can’t find an on-street spot.
When you’re driving your car rental in Cambridge, respect the speed limit as they are pretty strict about it. Pedestrians in the city always have the right of way so you must yield to them at crosswalks. Along those same lines, you must not block a crosswalk or stop on one when waiting at a light or stop sign. They’ve passed a law in Massachusetts outlawing texting and driving, so be sure to keep your phone stored away and out of reach. Nevertheless, we suggest looking up the city’s department of motor vehicles to check for any law updates before driving your rental car in Cambridge.
