Driving Tips for Boston
- As a large city with several water crossings, Boston has traffic features like tolls and HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes. Opt for SIXT’s prepaid toll services to streamline your route, and only use HOV lanes if you have at least one passenger in the car.
- Boston is an older city, so the streets are small and narrow. Be prepared for driving and parallel parking in a dense environment, and check out our Boston driving tips to learn more.
- Right turns on red are permitted in Boston, but this can be a challenge – be sure to watch for pedestrians and cyclists. Boston streets have many pedestrians, so always check before turning.
- Review your route before heading out, and enter your destination to GPS before driving, as Boston’s one way streets do not follow a consistent grid system.
- Obey speed limits, which are typically 25 mph on streets and 50 mph on divided highways in Boston.
Best places to visit in and around Boston
- While you’ll definitely want to explore Boston’s history and culture, your rental car enables you to visit many surrounding cities, which are also fascinating. Try a trip to Plymouth, less than an hour’s drive south of Boston, and view 17th century coastal structures and watercraft that are among the oldest in the U.S.
- Tranquil destinations like Hampton, New Hampshire, are only an hour by car from Boston. Hampton offers an expansive beach with glittering pristine waters and family activities, like a boardwalk with shops and an arcade.
- Boston is convenient for many exciting day trip destinations by car, such as Newport in Rhode Island, that offer picturesque coastlines and historic New England architecture."

Yes. SIXT places a temporary hold on your credit card at pickup for the amount of the deposit. For payments with debit cards, please refer to our rental information for more details about deposits. The amount depends on the location and vehicle. Please check for more details on payment information in this article.
In the U.S., generally a minimum of $200 will be charged to the payment method for security purposes. The deposit for high-value vehicles may be higher. Non-airport locations in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Illinois have higher minimum authorization amounts. Additional details on the deposit can be found in this article.
Reservations are by vehicle category (“or similar”), not by an exact model. When a "guaranteed model" option is shown for your dates and location, selecting it reserves that specific model. Otherwise, you’ll receive a comparable car in the same group with similar size and performance subject to availability.
The exact mileage policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process, so you’ll know what’s included before pickup.
Vehicles rented at most SIXT locations in the contiguous United States may be driven throughout the contiguous states. Travel into Canada must be in accordance with our geographical restrictions, which can be found in our rental information. Travel to Mexico is not allowed. If you drive outside authorized areas, a fee of $0.50 per mile will apply.
All renters and authorized drivers must present a valid, unexpired, original driver’s license at the time of rental. Renters with a non-U.S. driver's license may also need to provide a valid passport or other government-issued ID. Licenses in non-Roman alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must be accompanied by an international driver’s license. If the license is from a country not in the international driver’s license treaty, an official translation is required. See our rental information for full driver’s license and age requirements.
