Wondering if booking a rental car when visiting Boston is worth it? The answer is yes. Car rentals in Boston help to move anywhere and anytime, especially when visiting the suburbs. Boston is one of the busiest towns in the US, and therefore you need a city car rental to visit some of the tourist sites that aren’t walkable. As a Boston visitor, you should visit the neighboring towns and enjoy the serenity and outdoor activities in those areas. For example, you can drive to Manchester and visit their Science and Industry Museum, marvel at the city's ornate town hall, visit Old Trafford, and explore the creative Northern Quarter. You will need an economy car rental or passenger van rental in Boston to visit some of these places since they cannot be accessed by foot.

The law in Boston requires every driver driving either a private or a passenger's vehicle to wear a seat belt or sit in a child passenger restraint. Any driver found violating this law is eligible for a hefty fine. This law applies to both natives and visitors who are driving car rentals in Boston. If you are visiting for the first time and planning to use rental cars in Boston, it is good to check with the city's Department of Motor Vehicles for recent law changes.
