Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Boston car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid rental with six hours notice should allow for a full refund. However, this is not always guaranteed. It's worth checking your itinerary and cancellation policy. Still stuck for answers? Jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Boston?
Affordable, easy to operate and good on mileage, it's hardly surprising compact cars are the most booked type of rental in Boston. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Boston?
There are so many adventures to be had in Boston, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can roam around the greater area at your own speed. Add these awesome places to your list:
  • Make tracks to Lexington for an excellent sightseeing experience. Around 193 kilometres from Boston, it has many cool sights such as Keeneland Racing Course.
  • Around 177 kilometres away, Louisville is also a hit with travellers. Make sure you take in Churchill Downs while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • John Hancock Centre is situated 338 kilometres from Boston and is one of the region's most scenic nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air here.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Boston with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare fees, offers and providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Boston car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Boston?
Rental car rules in Boston require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Boston?
Generally, you'll need a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental outlets, so it's always a good idea to read the fine print.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Boston?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a set of wheels to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Boston car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a car rental in Boston, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you do your research.
