Local driving

Getting around Boston

Boston is a walking and transit city until it isn’t. The T covers downtown, but getting to the suburbs, the beach, a big grocery run or a job outside the Red, Orange, Green and Blue lines is far easier by car.

Plenty of Bostonians skip owning a car because of resident parking permits, garage fees and winter street cleaning. Renting when you actually need a car, for a weekend, a move or a few weeks of work, is often cheaper than keeping one year-round.

Pickup or delivery

Getting your car in Boston

You can have the car delivered anywhere in Boston, from Back Bay and the Seaport to Dorchester and West Roxbury, for a flat $120.

Or skip the fee and pick up yourself at 650 Ocean Ave in Revere, about 15 to 25 minutes from downtown. The Blue Line to Revere Beach or Wonderland gets you close, and pickup is open 24/7.
