No, you don't need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you'll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that's right for you. On each trip, you're covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.* In New York state, you'll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you're covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

The northern route toward New Hampshire and Vermont offers spectacular fall foliage and mountain vistas, making it ideal for seasonal road trips starting from Boston Logan.

Exit Boston Logan International Airport via the airport access road and follow signs toward Route 1A South, which connects directly to the Sumner Tunnel leading into downtown Boston.

The Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) charges tolls electronically and provides direct access from Boston airport to western Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. Several tunnels connecting Boston Logan to downtown Boston also require toll payments, including the Ted Williams Tunnel and Callahan Tunnel. Most toll facilities accept electronic payment systems, making travel convenient for visitors with rental cars throughout the greater Boston area.
