KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Wakefield

  • Having car rentals in Wakefield provides the convenience of being able to explore the area at your own pace. You can easily visit nearby attractions, go shopping, or dine at various restaurants without relying on public transportation schedules. Some attractions, parks, and recreational areas may not be well-served by public transport in Wakefield. Having a rental car allows you to access these locations more easily. Wakefield is well-positioned near many attractions in Massachusetts and New England. With a rental car, you can easily take day trips to nearby cities, coastal areas, or scenic landscapes.
  • If you're seeking Wakefield car rentals at an airport, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) stands as the optimal choice in this area. The airport hosts all rental car operations in one easy location called the consolidated Rental Car Center. Access to the center is made easy by buses that run approximately every 5-6 minutes, serving Airport Station, airport terminals, and the rental center. Look for the white and blue buses near the curbside on the lower level of each terminal. Inside the Rental Car Center, you'll find rental services offered by about 12 major rental brands, providing a wide array of options for your convenience.
  • Wakefield is a pedestrian-friendly town, especially around its downtown area. In car rentals in Wakefield, watch out for pedestrians at crosswalks and when approaching pedestrian-heavy areas. Utilize GPS or navigation apps to plan your routes and avoid getting lost in unfamiliar areas. Massachusetts weather can change quickly. Be prepared for rain, snow, or fog, and adjust your driving accordingly. Massachusetts law prohibits the use of handheld electronic devices while driving. Use hands-free devices for phone calls and navigation. If traveling on highways, be prepared for toll roads, especially on major routes in and around Wakefield.
  • On weekdays from approximately 7 am to 9 am and afternoons from around 4 pm to 6 pm, main roads such as Main Street, North Avenue, and Water Street may experience increased traffic.

If your trip is for a romantic getaway, a luxury car can be a great choice.

On highways and major roads outside of residential and school zones, the speed limit is typically 45 mph or higher, depending on the specific road and posted signage.

Pros:

Staff at pick up was friendly and helpful

Cons:

Staff at drop off attempted to indicate I had not picked the car up with 1/2 tank of gas and tried to make me go away to fill it when I returned it 3/4 full. I had a flight to catch and drop off was unnecessarily delaying.

Customer service was great and the process was fast. The car that I took had a problem with lights, I could hardly see at night. It needs to be serviced and I also pointed out to the customer service agent. The wipers need to be changed too as it was hard to see as if I was not driving a 4x4 truck

Pros:

Yes, except it was difficult to find them. Drove around the parking lot of the hotel and didn't see their office. Finally went into the hotel lobby and was told where they were in the building.

Cons:

The car I picked up had not been cleaned...it was filthy. I was told that if I could get it detailed for $20-30 that they would reimburse me for it. It just seemed unacceptable to give me a car that had not been cleaned since the last renter. Good thing I had sanitizing wipes with me that I used on all the surfaces I was using. Never have I rented a car that was filthy before.
