Though Boston is a small city through which one could easily get around by walking, there is also not much to see within the city centre and a Car Hire would come in handy in helping you visit the outskirts of the city by car. The Car Hire companies at Boston Airport, US offer a huge variety of cars to choose, ranging from tiny Volkswagen Beetles, to 4x4 pick-up trucks to full-size SUV and RVs. These categories cater to every group, from hippie yahoos, to singles, to couples, to large families.

Hybrid cars are also available and very popular. For going green and wanting to save the planet, however, you pay more that the renter who opts for the typical compact car. Quite an irony, if you think about it. Most of the rental cars in Boston are operated automatically meaning there is no clutch and no gear shifts. For those not used to these particular makes, you will find yourself braking a lot but soon enough, you get the hang of it. Manually operated cars are also available but mostly for the ‘sporty’ makes. On average, the daily charge of a rental car ranges between 15$ and 85$ but this figure may be higher or lower as influenced by a variety of factors.

It would be of use to be informed that the streets of Boston are poorly marked and adhering to absolutely no logic at all. For example, a street name can just change abruptly and so when getting a Car Hire rental, it would be advisable to request one with GPRS mapping to enable you get around. Finding parking space around Boston is rather tough with residential areas requiring one to have a resident permit before parking. Parking lots around the city are also rather expensive but good thing most top restaurants offer valet parking. Just remember to tip well.

On the outskirts of the city, there are a variety of places you could find of interest. By driving north, for starters, headed towards Maine, there are a number of exits along the road, which lead to some of the oldest towns in the country. The incredible ancient architecture could be worth your several minutes. Driving towards Mohawk Valley in the west could bring you to wild forests with several bears and a drive along the Appalachian trail will not only be relaxing abut also pretty breathtaking as you are mesmerized by the beautiful works of nature. Or you could take your Car Hire rental and head south towards the Plymouth Rock. Whatever your destination of choice is, navigating Boston via a Car Hire rental is definitely worth the hire.
