Driving Tips for Boston

Here are a few driving tips when renting a car in Boston:

  • Navigate the rotaries: Boston has numerous rotaries (traffic circles), such as those found on the outskirts of the city. Traffic within the rotary has the right of way, so yield to vehicles already in the circle.
  • Narrow, one-way streets: Many of Boston’s streets, particularly in older neighbourhoods like the North End and Beacon Hill, are more narrow and one-way. Plan your route in order to navigate these tight spaces.
  • Pedestrians and cyclists: Boston is a pedestrian-friendly city with many college students and cyclists. Areas around universities like Harvard, MIT and Boston University are especially busy.
  • Use parking garages: Choose parking garages like the Boston Common Garage or the Prudential Center Garage. Street parking in Boston is restricted and a parking garage can be a better and safer option.
  • Driving during sports events: Traffic around Fenway Park and TD Garden can be heavy during Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics games. If you want to watch the game, check the sports schedule and plan your routes accordingly.

Best places to visit in Boston

Boston car hire offers the perfect opportunity to travel around the area and visit spots like these:

  • Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: Housed in a Venetian-style palazzo, you can find an impressive collection of art pieces, books, and manuscripts. Less than 0.2 miles from the museum, you will find plenty of car parks.
  • Blue Hills Reservation: Just 11 miles south of Boston, Blue Hills Reservation offers over 7,000 acres of hiking, biking and skiing trails. Driving is a convenient way to access this expansive park.
  • Walden Pond: Located about 20 miles from Boston in Concord, Walden Pond offers serene hiking trails and picturesque swimming spots. A rental car is the best option for visiting, as public transportation options are limited.

Jared was very professional, informed. polite and provided clearly explained options without making us feel like we were being sold to. We would have no hesitation to recommend Sixt and the overall experience was excellent - the only negative being the lack of vehicle knowledge on pick up of vehicle which devalued the driving experience significantly.
