For people who need more space, a minivan serves as a good choice and will also provide the essential traction needed for icy roads. People who plan to drive mainly inside the city limits should consider a compact car like a smaller SUV, for instance.
Within the city limits, there is a maximum speed limit of 20-30 mph, while 55 mph is permitted on divided highways. On freeways, the speed limit is between 65 and 70 mph, so always check the posted signs to see which limit applies.

Would have liked to have been able to extend my use I would have liked to but the contract at the national number indicated it wouldn’t be possible at the current rate. I needed it for another month as my stay is extended. I then had to find a competitor which I hope is as good as Alamo.One location in Manchester

Pros:
The two young men at Enterprise and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport were extremely polite, knowledgeable about the type of vehicle we needed, and very helpful and solicitous re any questions or concerns we had. Especially important considering that we were going to be driving on snowy and possibly icy roads. The Kia Sorento with full time AWD and available 4WD was perfect. Overall, one of the best experiences we’ve had in renting a vehicle. Thank youCons:

Pros:
Drop off was easy, pick up was fine but all of the chargers were unclearCons:
The car smelled of smoke when we picked it up. It had sticker residue on all of the windows. It didn’t seem like it was thoroughly cleaned - lots of dust/dirt throughout the interior. Didn’t make us feel like it was properly cleaned especially during a pandemic. Very disappointing.4.0 Mediocre

Cons:
Car smelled like cigarettes, called Priceline to review options of returning the vehicle as the booking was made through them. Priceline customer service is horrible as they take 10 business days to respond to any requests, by the time my rental would be due back. Never using Priceline again10.0 Wonderful
