Ready to maximize your time in Boston? While the roads of the Boston CBD can be narrow and winding, these top car rental tips and expert driving advice will ensure you can hit the roads of Massachusetts with confidence.

How does airport pickup work at Boston Logan International Airport?

With Turo, you can skip the queues at Boston Logan Airport's car rental center and get on the road as soon as you exit the terminal baggage claim. Your Turo host will deliver your rental car to one of the 24 dedicated stalls in the Economy Parking Garage. This parking garage has a handy shuttle service that operates every 15 to 20 minutes, running 24 hours a day.

When you're ready to organize your car rental return, simply head back to the Economy Parking Garage and park your vehicle in the Turo assigned spaces. Then, you can use Turo messaging to let your host know exactly where you've parked the vehicle, including the parking stall number. All that's left to do is follow the airport signs to the shuttle bus and jet off to the airport terminal, ready to catch your flight.

How does drop-off work at Boston Logan International Airport?

Wondering how to return your rental car at the end of your trip? On Turo, you can easily drop your rental car directly at the Boston Logan International Airport parking.

How far is Boston Logan International Airport from Downtown Boston?

Boston Logan Airport is located an easy five to 10-minute drive from Boston downtown (2.7 miles). Once behind the wheel of your vehicle, follow airport signs to reach the CBD via the MA-1A N or I-90 E.

What are the road rules and driving conditions in Boston?

The biggest thing to know about driving in Boston is that it can be congested and challenging. The streets of central Boston are compact and narrow, designed back in Colonial times. Plus, as a city designed for cyclists and pedestrians, the Boston CBD can be tricky to navigate.

Our tip? Avoid driving at peak hours in Boston (typically 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm), rent a compact car that can easily navigate the tight CBD streets, and keep an eye out for HOV or carpooling lanes on highways (which are great if you're traveling with two or more passengers).

When driving in Boston and the rest of Massachusetts, make sure to stick to the legal speed limits (25 mph to 50 mph), ensure everyone is wearing their seat belt at all times and ensure your phone is in hands-free mode when driving.

What is parking like in Boston?

There are plenty of parking garages dotted across Boston, which makes finding a parking spot straightforward. Look out for the parking garage at Post Office Square or One Beacon Garage, perfectly positioned along Tremont Street with easy access to some of Boston's best restaurants.

Street parking is another viable option in Boston, with parking spots usually free on Sundays (just make sure to check the street signage). You'll also find over 7,000 parking spots across Boston via the ParkBoston app.

Are there toll roads in Boston?

Yes, there are several toll roads to look out for when driving in Boston. The five major toll roads in Boston include The Massachusetts Turnpike, Callahan Tunnel, Sumner Tunnel Toll, Ted Williams Tunnel and Tobin Memorial Bridge. Driving with an E-ZPass can make navigating these toll roads a breeze, with automatic charges made as soon as you zip through the toll gates.

Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Boston?

There are plenty of places to refuel in Boston, with gas stations located on E Berkeley Street, Boylston Street and Huntington Avenue. If you're hiring an electric car or hybrid vehicle, you'll find ChargePoint Charging Stations on Nashua Street and Shawmut Avenue.

Do I need to rent a car in Boston?

While Boston's city center is compact and walkable, renting a car is the most convenient way to explore the must-see sights of Massachusetts. Plus, having your own car means you can easily take a day trip to some of the top nearby destinations across the state, including the quaint seaside town of Cape Cod.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.

When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
