Why BlueCar
Renting a car in Cambridge
Weekend getaways
The Prius Prime covers 660+ miles on a full charge and tank, enough for the Cape, the White Mountains or the Rhode Island coast.
Longer stays
In town for a semester or a project? Monthly rentals are 20% off, and there is no maximum rental length.
Getting around Cambridge
Cambridge is built for bikes, the Red Line and walking between squares. That works day to day, but it leaves gaps: moving apartments, visiting family outside the city, or getting out to the beach or mountains on a weekend.
With resident permit parking and tight streets, many Cambridge households don’t keep a car at all. A rental delivered to your door covers the days you actually need one.
