KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Acton

  • Are you traveling to Acton on vacation? That's a great idea because you finally get to visit and admire the places you've envied maybe for years. The city has several areas of attraction. It's okay to use public transport, but that will mean a lot of hassle, including rushing to catch your bus or train. Even worse, public buses or trains will only drop you at the fixed terminals, forcing you to connect with taxis and town cars. I bet that's an experience you want to avoid. To this end, get a car rental in Acton to beat the hassle. For instance, Gillette Stadium is about 39.2 miles from the city center. Sports fanatics can get there in about 40 minutes via car instead of 2h 45min by bus and train.
  • Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is the closest to Acton, about 28 miles away. So, you'll likely land here if flying into the city. The airport has multiple car rental companies, including Dollar, Avis, Budget, Payless, Enterprise, Hertz, Easirent, and National. All the car rental companies get situated at the airport. To locate the car rental desks, follow the "Rental Car Center" sign and board the blue and white shuttle at the lower level.
  • Driving your car rentals in Acton is generally an easy and enjoyable experience because the roads are well-established and properly marked. Other drivers are typically patient and follow the traffic lights strictly. So, when driving your Acton car rentals, be sure to abide by all traffic light rules and speed limits to avoid being stopped by traffic officers. Again, the city has a zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving. You shouldn't have alcohol while driving your car rentals in Acton.
  • Action experiences heavy traffic despite having well-established roads, especially during rush hours. This is because many residents use personal cars when going and coming from their secular employment, leading to dense traffic. Weekday Rush hours begin from 6 am to 10 am, and the evening rush hours start from 4 pm to 7 pm. Traffic snarl-up is even worse on Thursdays and Fridays. So, avoid congested areas during these hours.

I called local agent while traveling to ask question. He referred me to a (useless) 800 number which had never answered. Agent hung up and would not answer my subsequent phone call. His name was John (Bedford).

I was trying to rent a 4 wheel drive SUV in such snowy time but they only gave me front wheel drive one. I ended up getting stuck in the snow and paying $250 for towing fee. It is quite a disappointment that a customer couldn’t get what he was looking for.

Car check engine light came on so I returned the car to the nearest Budget Rental and was told I would have to pay them $200 for dropping off the rental at a location different than where I picked it up, a one-way fee. On top of that to get back to where I picked up the rental they tried to charge me a 2nd $200 one-way fee. Because their car broke down. Unbelievable.

There were no cars available when I arrived a little after my scheduled time. They failed to call me to tell me not to come to pick up the car, and when I got there they said it would be 48 hours before they could get me any vehicle let alone the vehicle I had reserved.

The staff at Enterprise rental in Maynard could not be more helpful. We were going on a trip to Maine and they made sure we had the right vehicle for the trip. Outstanding service?

Renting a vehicle for summer trip out of Boston (or anywhere!) was much more challenging than ever due to (almost post) COVID and the shortage with high gas prices. Everyone I interacted with through National acted as if the knew me and actually cared that we got what we needed (minivan for 6 + luggage), we’re super helpful with delayed pick up due to Hurricane Elsa blowing through, and even made sure we secured a safe Uber to get everyone (+ more luggage!) back to the airport as stress free as possible. What potentially could have been the most challenging part of our trip was a delight!

Cons:

The rental staff was nowhere to be found when I arrived to pick up the car. I was not able to rent a car and it completely messed up my travel plans. Do not rent from this location. It is completely unreliable. Stay clear. I will not attempt renting a car from this location ever again.
