As Boston is a city brimming with cars and limited parking spaces, driving a compact car is preferable to bulky vehicles. Boston’s streets are also very narrow in many places, so choosing a smaller car makes navigating the streets easier.
If you are driving through a school area, you must not go over 20mph. In popular areas with narrow streets and bends in the road the driving limit is 30mph, whereas you are allowed to drive at 40mph on the outskirts of the city where there is more space. On regular highways you can speed up to 50mph and 60mph on an interstate highway. All roads are marked with speed limit signs as well. Especially at intersections, there may be traffic cameras, so be sure to adhere to all road regulations.
Finding a parking space in Boston can be like finding a needle in a haystack and be mindful when you do find a park, that there are lots of parking meters around. Boston also has multiple parking garages like the Boston Common Parking Garage where you will pay around $11 per day, or the Post Office Square Garage for about $9 per day. Alternatively, there are also parking lots outside the city to avoid traffic altogether. Riverside Station Parking on Grove Street, has the green line subway which can take you into Boston in under an hour. Rote 128 in Westwood is another parking lot in the outskirts of Boston, where you can take the Franklin Line train into the city.

Agents trying to sell add-ons I did not need, car was not very clean, who still uses paper?5.2 Fair
Mar 2018
Pros:
The check-out person at the garage was very nice.Cons:
We waited in line for almost 30 minutes to get our car, and the rep, who was very nice, moved at a snails pace. By the time we got to our car, we had to wait another 10+ minutes as there was a line of cars getting checked out to leave the garage. In the end, it took 90 minutes in total from the time I got off my plane until I left the garage with my car.4.0 Mediocre
Mar 2018
Cons:
There was no option to cancel my rental, which I could not use due to a snowstorm that hit Boston the night of my rental. This is extremely disappointing to me.6.8 Okay
Mar 2018
Pros:
Was economical. Car was fine, pretty typical rental process.Cons:
Employees are trained to try to get you to purchase all the useless extras. The counter pickup experience is very slow, with the process sometimes taking 20-30 minutes for a single customer as they try to convince them that the insurance and extras are worth it. It's not that much different than other rental places, but definitely slower and slightly more obnoxious. Still, I'll always go with the cheapest rental.5.6 Fair
Mar 2018
Pros:
Good price, nice carCons:
Our flight was changed due to a storm and when I called Advantage, the phone agent said as long as we picked it up within 24 hours of our original reservation, the car would be held for us and no changes needed to be made for the reservation. However, when we arrived, with our young children who had just traveled by plane, the car had NOT been held for us and we'd been marked down as a "no show." When we told the agent at the desk (Alexandra Garcia in Boston) that we'd called ahead, she said we could pay extra for a more expensive car, but she took no responsibility for the problem and was incredibly rude. What a horribly disappointing experience.4.0 Mediocre
Mar 2018
Cons:
bad for business lying manipulative employees will try not come back will post all my experience on social media they will try to sell you anything that is already included and you paid for. like electronic toll box on the front window.its there,installed,but they will lye to you and will try to sell it to you for 35 bucks.THE TOLLS ARE CHEAPER THEN THAT. and so on and on .....Manipulators.4 locations in Boston

Cons:
The pick up in Boston was horrendous. Waited 30mins for the shuttle which by then was packed even by pre-COVID standards. ZERO safety protocols in place. Then it took another TWO hours in line to get a filthy car with multiple warning lights activated. No thanks.4.0 Mediocre

Pros:

The car smelled like cigarettes. The agent gave me the car that had been given to another customer prior. It took a long time at the airport to pick up the car due to the unorganized system.2 locations in Boston

Pros:

Pros:
Very easy pickup and drop off. They put me in a Kia Sedona that was in pretty good condition. It had Apple CarPlay which was a nice perk.Cons:

May 2021
Pros:
Easy pick up and drop off for the most part at the airport except the National employees weren’t at the counter when flights got in making a great many people standing in line for both National and Alamo so the Alamo people could help us.Cons:
Car smelled like something had been either in the car and got moldy or a wet animal had been inside causing the first day to be almost Unbearable to drive in.10.0 Wonderful
Dec 2021
Cons:
No one at counter at BOS upon arrival at 10:30pm. No sign saying to go up to where cars are. Finally found my way there. After saying they didn’t have the 8 seat suburban available that I had reserved, they eventually found one. Everything was great after that.2.0 Poor

Aug 2020
Pros:
They had issues with their credit card reader/computer and I had to wait for them to call my credit card company to verify it. This was at 1100pm after a long day of travel.... so it was a little annoying.Cons:
The car was pretty beat up on the exterior and interior. Good news was they didn’t charge me for the condition of the car. I would have spent most of the rest of night circling things on the form otherwise.8.4 Very Good
Dec 2019
Pros:
Easy to pick up and drop off and the shuttle was also expedient to and from the airport. Car was new with 300 miles.Cons:
The cost was higher than quoted after all the incidental tax was added. Probably a state issue but should have been an up front cost quote.3 locations in Boston
