One thing to note when choosing a cheap rental car in New Bedford is that your choice is dictated by the things you plan on doing while in the city and the number of people and luggage you’ll carry. Small and compact cars are the most suitable if you are not traveling over long distances and are also easy to maneuver through the city with. Larger cars with a capacity of more than 5 people are more suitable for long distances and exploring the outdoors with friends and family. If you can prioritize comfort over everything else, you can choose a car from the premium car collection.
Like any other vehicle in New Bedford, rental cars are subject to paying a congestion fee. Therefore, any time you enter the city’s congestion charge zone with your rental car, you must be prepared to pay the charge.
Be mindful of the 20mph speed limit in alleyways and the 50mph legal limit in the city when driving your New Bedford car rentals. Although the speed limit is the same in residential areas as it is in the town, you should be alert for any modifications that may be signaled by road signs. When driving your New Bedford car rental through neighborhood streets in the morning and the evening, go more slowly.
With EV charging stations distributed across various destinations in New Bedford, you can conveniently rent an electric car while in the city. EVgo Charging Station and ChargePoint Charging Station are some of the popular places you can charge your electric car.

There are a number of good parking spots within the city, and if you are in the area close to Kyler’s Catch Seafood and Kitchen, you can park at one of the Public Parking lots, the City of New Bedford parking and the Baseball Field.

I didn't like the fact your cigarette lighter didn't work, the safety of our wellbeing wasn't there, we couldn't use the gps nor be able to charge it or phones. So if anything would of happened to us we had no way to find us or call for help. Very disturbing.One location in New Bedford

Jun 2020
Pros:
Staff were nice and car was reasonably pricedCons:
Car smelled horribly of cigarettes. I went back and asked for a different car, which had the same problem. Staff were unsurprised you hear that the cars had strong smoke smell and did not have another car to offer. I tried to clean myself and keep windows open as I needed the car but the smell was awful. I have never experienced such a poorly cleaned/smoke ridden rental car.6.0 Okay
Sep 2018
Pros:
It was a new reliable car that drove nicely. Pick up and drop off was easy and convenient.Cons:
I had to take the car home right after pick up to clean the inside of the windshield. It was so dirty I couldn't see out of it. We packed up the car and left for our vacation. When we arrived at our destination, we pulled the suitcases out of the trunk to find them to be wet! We drove through some rain and apparently it makes it's way inside the trunk. We had some wet clothes which was a huge inconvenience to try to get dey in a hotel room. It wasn't a good way to start my vacation.8.8 Very good

The lady who waited on me was an angel! Somehow my reservation had been canceled but she got me the car I needed and a slightly better deal than my original reservation! I was in and out in 20 minutes. AND the drop off in New Jersey I was waited on even though I had gone to the Budget vs Avis which was what the car had papers for. Thanks for the awesome service!Cons:

Convenient pickup and drop off for this one way rental. The car was a nice one and comfortable. Basically was clean, but the windshield needed further cleaning. It was badly streaked, but that was just a minor inconvenience.One location in New Bedford
