How it works

From booking to keys in a few simple steps

Book online, get verified, and pick up in Revere or have the car delivered. Here's the whole trip, start to finish.

  1. Booking a BlueCar rental online in Boston on a laptop and smartphone, with rental dates marked on a calendar

    Book online

    Pick a car and your dates. A $350 booking deposit holds it, refundable if you cancel 7 or more days before pickup.

  2. Driver's license verification for a BlueCar rental, shown as an ID card with a checkmark security shield

    Get verified

    After you book, we send you a secure link to verify your driver's license before pickup. Drivers 18+ with a US or international license are welcome. International licenses need an International Driving Permit and a passport.

    Optional: share your own auto insurance too. If we confirm your policy covers rentals, your coverage transfers to the car. Otherwise, you're responsible for damage to the car and any liability costs. Our optional $30/day damage waiver caps what you'd pay for damage to the car at $3,000.

  3. Hand tapping Confirm on a phone to confirm an electric car rental booking with BlueCar

    Get your confirmation

    Once your license is approved, we confirm your booking and share pickup or delivery details.

  4. BlueCar rental car delivered to an airport pickup area, with the driver behind the wheel and luggage ready to load

    Pick up or get delivery

    Grab the keys at 650 Ocean Ave in Revere, or we'll bring the car anywhere in MA, NH or RI for a flat $120.

  5. Driving a BlueCar electric rental car along the water past the Boston skyline and Zakim Bridge

    Enjoy the drive

    Unlimited miles, and rideshare use is allowed. Tesla Supercharging is billed to our account, then invoiced to you after.

  6. Returning a BlueCar rental car to the return point at the end of the trip

    Return the car

    Bring it back at the same charge or fuel level. Late returns are $30/hour, and a full day after 3 hours.

  7. Final BlueCar rental invoice with an approved checkmark, covering tolls, charging and the security deposit refund

    Final invoice & deposit

    Any tolls or Supercharging are invoiced at the end. Any other fees come out of your $250 security deposit; with no damage or fees, it's refunded within 2 weeks.

  8. BlueCar customer support agent with a headset answering renters' messages 24/7

    We're here 24/7
