Car rentals in Springfield allow greater access to suburban areas, which are not as walkable as the downtown area. These neighborhoods are generally more car-dependent than other parts of the city, as the public transit is less extensive in the suburbs. Springfield car rentals also give more convenient access to nearby attractions, such as a visit to Boston or the shores of the Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. The journey to Boston via car takes about 1h 30min, while the same trip via public transit takes nearly 6h and requires multiple transfers. Public transit stops in the general area of the Atlantic shore but rarely travels along the coast if you are hoping to experience several miles of shoreline.
Springfield is primarily served by the Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, but travelers may also arrive in Boston at General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport. At Bradley International (BDL), you can access each individual rental company via their free shuttle from the airport terminal. Be sure to know which company you are renting through when you fly because you will need to find the specific company shuttle. If you fly into Logan International (BOS), take the Massport airport shuttle to the rental car center for free.
Travelers who are driving car rentals in Springfield should be aware of pedestrians and cyclists as the city is working to develop more bike lanes and walkable neighborhoods. Springfield is known as the Crossroads of New England due to the heavy amount of cargo that passes through on freeways, the Connecticut River, and the many train routes that cross through the city. Because of this, drivers should be aware of large trucks when driving on the freeways and carefully check for oncoming trains at railroad crossings.
Though Springfield does not have a notable rush hour that will dramatically impact your travel times, it still has heavier traffic in the mornings and evenings. As one of the hubs for festivals, events, and tourism in the Pioneer Valley, Springfield can have sporadic traffic backups that travelers can avoid by checking event schedules if they are passing by an attraction, such as the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. As with most northeastern cities, Springfield experiences challenging weather in the winter months, particularly when nor’easter storms dump snow on roadways. If you are unfamiliar with driving in snow, consider delaying your travel for heavy snow, and drive cautiously if you need to drive in a storm.
Springfield, Massachusetts is well known for its breathtaking and historic scenery. You will want a cheap car rental in Springfield to take some unforgettable scenic drives. If you take Route 102 East of Stockbridge, you can get to Western Massachusetts' Route 20, renowned for its history and natural beauty. You can see huge trees, vibrant mountain terrain, and the Jacob's Ladder Trail. You might also want to check out the Botanical Garden or the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge.

A cheap car rental in Springfield is the way to go when considering how to get around. Why?

While you are driving around, as well as when you have to fill the tank before you return the car, Springfield is the place to be when you are gassing up your car.
Like cheap car rentals in Springfield, driving in Springfield can also be cheap. While the Massachusetts Turnpike has many toll gantries, you can avoid paying a toll in Springfield.

The same is true if you travel between these four exits in any order.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Springfield?

All-wheel drive is easier to use for inexperienced winter drivers than four-wheel drive, as the rotation rate of the tires adjusts to your turns and makes the drive smoother.
