Clerk at rental center in Logan Airport was not personable at all. Did not answer any questions asked by me. She was only going through motions. At car pickup and drop off, Lady pointed me to a Kia Rio and I asked if it was an Intermediate class car. She said yes. Only later did I find out it wasn’t. When I contacted Enterprise, to dispute being given wrong size car, I was told I would receive a call, straightening things out. Never got the call. When I returned the car, I finally got a credit. My argument is that I wasn’t treated at all like a customer should have been, until the very end of my rental experience. This is an easy way to lose customers.

We returned a day earlier than planned and Enterprise gave us credit for the unused day - which we appreciated. Really nice rental vehicle - only 6400 miles on it and very clean.

Counter representative was great. However, the Car needed service per the dash information screen. Car also vibrated very badly probably due to poor wheel alignment and/or tire balance. Cost for 5 days was outrageously expensive.
1.9 Horrible7 Oct 2021
PROMISED CARS THEY DID NOT HAVE. I reserved a car 2 weeks in advance. Confirmed. Then…no car available when I arrived. Spent 80-dollars on Ubers going from one Enterprise location to the next. No cars at any of them EVEN THOUGH THE RESERVATION AGENT ON THE PHONE ASSURED ME OF AVAILABILITY. There is a major disconnect between reservations and actual inventory. Final straw - I Ubered to Logan Airport and the Enterprise counter agent said she could not rent a vehicle to me because I was technically a “walk up”. Ended up getting a car from Hertz for twice the cost of Enterprise but I had no options. A MESS

Arrived late at Boston Logan with my family of five (~12:45 AM). Small line of travelers in front of us at the Enterprise kiosk in the garage, and apparently there was only one clerk to handle all of the reservations for 2 different companies, one of which was Enterprise. After waiting there for over an hour (which included watching 2 gentlemen inside the kiosk talk to the clerk for about 45 minutes with no one being given cars), I asked my wife to go inside (it was around 2AM now) and see if any companies had cars available right now. AVIS was able to put us in a minivan immediately, for nearly $200 less than our online reservation with Enterprise through KAYAK. We left the Enterprise line and had a pleasant experience with AVIS.

Pros: easy pickup; easy drop-off; tireless roadside assistance team that communicated clearly and got the job done. Cons: the first car they gave us died halfway through the rental period; it took about 12 hours to swap out this car with a new one. Here's what happened: We had an easy pickup, and at first the car we rented worked great. Halfway through the rental period, though, the car died about ten seconds after starting it up. Alamo's roadside assistance worked tirelessly to get a jump, but it was the day after Thanksgiving and a service provider was hard to come by. We were also in a rural location, so that may have made things more difficult. Alamo then arranged for us to get an Uber to an Enterprise rental to pick up a new car; later, they had the old car towed. The whole thing took a while; from start to finish it took about 12 hours from calling roadside assistance to getting the replacement car and the tow. Thankfully we weren't planning on going anywhere, so we could afford to hang around while Alamo got everything sorted out. The new car worked great, and dropping it off at the end of the journey was easy. They knocked about 15% off the final price for the faulty car and the trouble it caused us.

The staff was friendly and efficient. An overall pleasant experience. I would definitely rent from Alamo in Boston again!

I ordered a mid-sized SUV -- what I received was a full size SUV. It worked okay was comfortable and met my needs, but the gas mileage was horrible and it took up a lot of room. No information was provided to prepare for return of the car. no address, or procedures. As it turned out, it was quite simple, but when I tried to get information, about what to expect in terms of time to return the car and to get to our flight, the agent was not very helpful. I have rented cars with a GPS screen which had been pre-programmed for the return. that was most helpful.

Our flight was delayed by weather and I called them to notify. Was told "No problem we'll hold the car". Office Downtown Boston was closed at 5pm. I called customer service and explained that we were not staying in Boston and needed the car to get to New Hampshire. They could not arrange another car until 8am the next day. We canceled and trundled 5 people with luggage by expensive Uber.

2.0 Mediocre15 Nov 2021
I unchecked the box that checked for rentals surrounding the airport so I ASSUMED my rental was at the airport, BUT Nooooo I had to take a $30 Uber ride to get the car. Once at the offsite rental location I told the Hertz employee what happened and he stated that happens often, I asked about the cost of the drop charge even though the location was only 3 miles from the airport. He charge me what I paid for the Uber which the charge would have been higher. Soooo my cost of the rental was $60 more than I planned and the rental would have been cheaper not using Kayak and just using the airline site to rent the car. Renting cars on sites like these can be misleading. ALSO my rental had the following issues. In my opinion the vehicle wasn't mechanically checked out regularly after rentals and the car showed LOTS of scratches from previous renters. My rental i felt had 1 or 2 bad front shocks, they were making constant rattling noise while i drove. the FOB battery was low and 90% of the time I couldn't use it to lock the car. The inside windshield was poorly cleaned, the windshield wipers needed replacement. -- Good luck with your rental

The pick-up was a bit stressful as the staff originally gave me a hard time for not quite matching the picture on my driver's license. I had just spent 24 hours in an airport and plane due to delayed flights and a red-eye so of course I was not going to look that great. Honestly, it was a bit rude.

Logan is far overpriced. Car was dirty, dash dusty, so much for deep cleaning. Seats dirty. Low tire pressure had to fill. Paid double the cost of the airline ticket for this car
2.0 Mediocre24 Oct 2021
I made a reservation to pick up the car at Logan airport, the confirmation never indicated I had to go downtown Boston to pick up my car, I only learned this when I got to the rental counter at the airport after waiting in line fo 45 minutes Then we had to take the shuttle back to the airport to get an Uber to take us to the rental office in Boston because Uber isn't allowed into the rental area. Mind you all while I was lugging golf clubs and three other bags. I screwed around with this car situation for two hours, not very good at all.... I will never never use Kayak again for a rental car.....
2.0 Mediocre24 Oct 2021
First car they gave me had a busted back fender, like it was rear ended, so I refused this car. Second car had the check engine light come on within a day. I had to go out of my way to drop off this car and swap it, and budget insisted it be done within 24 hours. 3rd car was full of trash. Not just wrappers and things (which there was) but large cardboard boxes. It was clearly not cleaned, and it smelled like cigarette smoke.

2.0 Mediocre23 Oct 2021
It was awful to find the site where we were to pick up our car closed at 4pm on Saturday. We took a ferry that was arriving later than that time but Budget told me when I asked that I could pick up the car later. I was not told the place was closed. This delayed our trip by one day. We had to find a place to stay in Boston which was very expensive, lose our reservation for that night in another town closer to our destination and still pay for it and we almost were not given a car the following morning although Budget said we would. It was very bad. I won’t use Budget or Kayak again.
6.0 Good22 Oct 2021
Clean car except for a little bird poop on the back. A little tricky to find the rental place but easy pickup once I found it. I still have not been given a receipt and it's been 5 days since I dropped off the car. I called three times about it. Pretty annoying.
4.0 Okay22 Oct 2021
The service agent was guick,efficient and friendly - especially at 12:30 in the morning. :) However, the car was in poor condition which we photographed. Scratches all over, the seats were stained and the tires were almost bald. Good thing we did not experience rainy roads on our trip. That may have been dangerous. Otherwise, car drove fine and service was good.
3.9 Mediocre17 Oct 2021
Line to pick up took an hour. Staff was professional, courteous, and friendly. But if a fiasco with the car they’d assigned not being in the garage, but I was given another comparable car. Car smelled like cigarettes. Found a cigarette behind the headrest. Found a dead medium sized gross bug (roach?) in cup holder. Would have preferred more efficient check in. Perhaps automated components. Has happened before at other location in Cambridge. Aside from that, car was great and good value, and staff were awesome.
1.9 Horrible17 Oct 2021
The customer service was terrible. Budget did not prepare appropriately for the expected number of customers because the lines were insanely long, to the point where I missed the event I had to go to because I was unable to get the car in time (waited in line for 2+ hours). I ended up not getting the car, and did not have the option to get a refund. Very negative experience, will not try to rent a car with budget ever again and am recommending to everyone I can to not do it either.

Not only did the car cost WAY TOO MUCH, I got swindled into buying gas at a higher price than the average gas station because the attendant told me the gas would cost me $9.99 upon return. And swindled into paying $12.49 per day for toles when I only saw 3 toles for the entire trip. What a total scam and I will be exploring other options for car rentals in the future.

For a mid-size car the Ford Fusion was a great vehicle. Good leg room, nice amenities. Drop off was quick and efficient. Pick up was laborious. By the time I got to the rental station which was after midnight there was one agent to handle the 8 customers in front of me for both Dollar and Thrifty. The agent worked diligently to keep the line moving. By the time I got to her another agent finally appeared to handle the 30 customers behind me. After a long flight that was delayed an hour the long wait for the agent was tiring.

When I crossed the toll bridge in Newport Rhode Island, I used the lane for the EZ pass only because we had a transponder in the car, which seemed to work fine all the way from Boston to Rhode Island. The gate wouldn't open for the toll bridge, and one of the attendants from the cash lane came over. She said their equipment was reading our EZ pass, but it was showing a zero balance. I paid in cash, and used toll lanes w/ez pass cash option for the rest of the trip. Sometimes it read the ez pass, and sometimes I paid cash. I don't know if we were double charged or not. I'll be disappointed if we get billed for the read license plate option. The insurance coverage was higher than I expected. I think the quote on the reservation was not for full coverage. I don't think I'll pay for a full tank of gas anymore. Its hard to return a vehicle empty. I don't want to run out of gas. Comfortable ride, plenty of room, easy to drive.

We arrived and checked in fine and was told to go outside and the rep at the dollar booth would tell us where our vehicle was - we got outside to a mass of other people (+/- 30) who were all waiting and there were no cars. The attendent took our contract and said someone would call our name when our car was ready. We had to wait over an hour and a half to get a car - missed dinner reservations and ruined our weekend get away.

Unfortunately, there was no chance for me to like anything as E-Z did not have my reservation on file. I spent over an hour at the counter looking to see if the order was wrongfully placed for a different day, if it was set for a different pickup location, or if the rental company had been changed (I individually checked with Alamo, Advantage, Hertz, Enterprise, and more) to unfortunately find out there no company had my reservation on file. By the time the entire ordeal was done, and the option was to reserve a new car, we were so late that we decided to completely change plans and not rent a car for the day. This put extreme stress on myself with family visiting town and I am incredibly frustrated with this experience. Please contact me at mpbrooks16@gmail.com or (708) 212-6034 to advise next steps - I kindly ask to be refunded for both the car rental and the insurance policy as neither were used.

Excellent staff at pick up and drop off.Car smelled like cigarette smoke and wasn't very clean. Line to pick up car at the airport was VERY long, took over an hour to get the car.

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.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.

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.

The staff incorrectly filled out my paperwork and then over charged me for my rental. I have yet to hear back from them to correct it.The staff incorrectly filled out my paperwork and then over charged me for my rental. I have yet to hear back from them to correct it.

Left iPad in glove compartment. When I returned to the car rental area the iPad hadn't been handed in to the manager or lost property after the car was cleaned which was disappointing. I couldn't check car myself as it had been rented out even though I had returned within 3 hours of having left the car back

Some Boston car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the rental price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when renting a car in in Boston.

Top tips for hiring a car in Boston
- Rent a car during your stay in Boston and gain ultimate flexibility to explore not only the vibrant city but also the surrounding areas while you’re there, such as Connecticut or New Hampshire. Opting for a rental car will make trips to destinations further out of the city center far easier, for instance the Foxboro Football Stadium, which is 28 miles from Boston and by car can be conveniently reached in half an hour.
- Boston International Airport has a Car Rental Center which features a 4-level garage for the abundance of cars on offer and can be reached by the airport’s free shuttle service. The shuttle bus leaves from all terminals every 5-6 minutes. The buses can be found at the lower level of every terminal and are blue and white. In the Rental Center, there are various different rental services including Zipcar, Entertainment, Avis or E-Z Rent-A-Car, so it should be no hassle to find the perfect ride to further destinations.
- Boston has a lot of traffic and navigating yourself through the many intersections can be confusing at times, however navigation systems can be easily added to a rental car and this will help you reach further destinations without any problems. Boston’s pedestrians are known to jaywalk and cyclists regularly don’t adhere to the traffic light regulations, so paying extra attention and double-checking for pedestrians and cyclists while driving is very important.
- Boston is one of the cities with the worst rush hour in the US, so try to avoid it by going to your destination before or after (rush hour is most intense approximately between 5pm and 6pm on weekdays). Especially the intersections along Interstate 93 and the Route 128 are known to be clogged with traffic and should be avoided during rush hour times altogether if possible, as alternative side roads are also congested during these times. Also bear in mind that winters can bring snow and ice to Boston, and you should drive extra carefully.
