Boston is one of the busiest towns in the US, and therefore you need a city car rental to visit some of the tourist sites that aren’t walkable. As a Boston visitor, you should visit the neighbouring towns and enjoy the serenity and outdoor activities in those areas. For example, you can drive to Manchester and visit their Science and Industry Museum, marvel at the city's ornate town hall, visit Old Trafford, and explore the creative Northern Quarter. You will need a cheap car rental or people carrier rental in Boston to visit some of these places since they cannot be accessed by foot.

If you are visiting for the first time and planning to use rental cars in Boston, it is good to check with the city's Department of Motor Vehicles for recent law changes.
