Local driving

Getting around Providence

Providence is compact, but Rhode Island life spreads out: beaches in South County, Newport across the bay, jobs in Warwick and Cranston, and T. F. Green Airport to the south.

RIPTA buses cover the city, but for beach days, commuting or driving for Uber, Lyft and delivery apps, a car makes the state much easier to get around.

FAQ

Renting in Providence

More questions? Read the full FAQ or call (617) 655-6529, 24/7.

Do you deliver rental cars to Providence?

Yes. We deliver anywhere in Rhode Island, including Providence, for a flat $120.

Can I drive the car outside Rhode Island?

Yes, within Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. If you want to leave those states, ask us for approval first.

Are there Rhode Island taxes or surcharges?

Your full total, including every tax and fee that applies to your rental, is shown before you book, so there are no surprises.

Do I need my own insurance to rent in Rhode Island?

No, but it helps. Share your own auto insurance before pickup and we'll check whether it covers rentals. If it does, your coverage transfers to the car. Otherwise you're responsible for damage and liability costs yourself, unless you add the optional $30/day damage waiver, which caps what you'd pay for damage to the car at $3,000.

Can I use the car for DoorDash or Uber Eats in Rhode Island?

Yes. Rideshare and delivery-app driving is allowed on our rideshare picks, with unlimited miles.
