Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Boston car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of the pickup time, many prepaid reservations qualify for a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarise yourself with the rental policy. Check your confirmation for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Boston?

Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or give yourself more space with a full-size or an intermediate. After some luxury? Browse our premium rides.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Boston?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Boston. Be aware that rental companies will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent larger or luxury models of cars. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking to avoid any surprises when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Boston?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a ride to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Boston car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Boston rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some will charge extra costs. It's better to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
