KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Chelsea

  • Car rentals in Chelsea, MA, provide you with the freedom to explore Chelsea and its surrounding areas on your own schedule. You can visit attractions, go on day trips, and take detours without relying on public transportation schedules. In addition, some attractions in Chelsea closer to the Boston area, such as the Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, and the New England Aquarium, may not be easily accessible by public transportation. Having a car allows you to visit these places and explore nearby cities like Cambridge and Salem.
  • Chelsea, Massachusetts, is located near Boston, and the nearest major airport serving the area is Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). Major Chelsea car rentals operate their counters at BOS, making it convenient to start your tour of the town as soon as you land. Popular agencies operating here include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Alamo, Thrifty, Dollar, Payless, and Advantage. The Rental Car Center, or RCC, is situated away from the airport terminals but is easily accessible via a free shuttle bus service.
  • While driving habits can vary from person to person, Bostonians, including those in Chelsea, are often characterized by assertive driving styles. Expect drivers to be somewhat aggressive and fast-paced, especially during peak traffic times. Still, like many urban areas, Chelsea focuses on pedestrian safety. Be prepared to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and be aware of the potential presence of bicyclists and pedestrians, particularly in downtown areas. Remember that road usage and regulations can also change over time due to urban development projects. So, it's advisable to check with local authorities or consult up-to-date maps or GPS navigation systems.
  • As you drive Chelsea car rentals through Massachusetts, remember that the area experiences traffic snarl-ups during peak travel hours on weekdays. This occurs in the morning (7 am to 9 am) as people commute to work or school and in the evening (4:30 pm to 6:30 pm) as residents return home. If you visit between December and March, ensure your vehicle is winter-ready. This includes having appropriate tires (winter or all-season with good tread), working brakes, functional lights, and a well-maintained heating system.
