KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Johnston

  • Car rentals in Johnston, RI, are a sure way to enjoy unmatched convenience and flexibility. You will have the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, without aligning your itinerary to public transportation schedules. In addition, public transportation might not reach all the remote or less accessible areas in Johnston. A car allows you to explore off-the-beaten-path attractions like Dexter Pond, Pocasset River Park, and Roger Williams Park Zoo. Most importantly, you have the comfort of your own private space and don't have to share it with other passengers like you would on public transportation.

  • Johnston is located near Providence, meaning urban and suburban environments influence the driving culture. You can expect a mix of city driving and suburban commuting.
