FAQ - Transportation Information:

Q. We are flying in to Logan Airport. Should we pick up a car rental at the airport?
A. If you plan to spend the majority of your time touring Boston, then don't bother renting a car. Boston is a very "walkable" city with good public transportation. Plus, over night parking can be expensive.

Q. What if we choose to rent a car after we have arrived at the hotel?
A. If you choose to take a day trip outside of the city, we can arrange hotel drop off and pick-up of a rental car for you from Enterprise rent-a-car. Arrangements should be made 24 hours ahead of time (next day service).
