Top tips for renting a car in Massachusetts

  • Most car-rental agencies in Massachusetts operate from the major airports and cities throughout the state. The state of Massachusetts uses EZDriveMA to manage its toll roads and offers four different options for paying tolls. Car rental provides an excellent option for discovering the state of Massachusetts at your own pace and convenience.
  • Operating a mobile phone or mobile electronic device while driving is illegal in Massachusetts; penalties may include fines and license suspension. If you’re traveling with your pet, Massachusetts law prohibits drivers from letting their dogs loose in the back of pickup trucks. Also, seatbelts are mandatory for both drivers and passengers while you’re driving in Massachusetts. Finally, when you’re driving with children in the car, be sure to use a federally approved and properly fitted child passenger restraint—i.e., a secured car seat.
  • Cars must be parked in designated parking lots if you’re renting a car in Massachusetts. In this New England state, you must come to a full stop before making a right turn at a red light. However, there are certain areas where right turns at red lights are not permitted. You will see a sign on the traffic light or in plain site if this is the case.
  • For new drivers in Massachusetts, it can be confusing to understand which tires are best to have. It’s recommended that you rent a car with snow tires if you plan to visit the state in the winter. However, if you’re going to be driving off-road as well, you would need to add chains to your snow tires to get through the snow. And if you’re going to be driving in the absolute worst of conditions, then studded tires are a more realistic option for you.

FAQs about renting a car in Massachusetts

  • Should I rent a car in Massachusetts?

    Whether you are traveling to Massachusetts for business or leisure, a car rental service can help you get around and accomplish your mission at your own preferred pace and pleasure. With your Massachusetts car rental, you can check off every item on your to-do list at your convenience rather than spend hundreds of dollars on taxis or rideshares, or trying to determine the right bus to catch. A rental car allows you to take control of the road and explore every corner of the state, which you might not be able to do with public transportation. Best of all, you can search and find great deals on Massachusetts rental cars online on platforms like KAYAK, where you can find massive discounts on your car rental.

    Massachusetts is a fun state to explore. However, drivers in Massachusetts are known for their aggression. It takes local expertise to drive around safely, especially in a city like Boston.
