Rental Qualifications and RequirementsThe lively waterfront, historical landmarks and European-style ambience of Boston are a short drive away and it’s not much further to Cape Cod’s beaches and the attractions of New England. However, with Boston Logan International Airport surrounded by so much water, it’s important to plan which way you’re heading. If you collect a car from our convenient location at Boston Airport, you’ll able to access the main driving routes quickly.
You’ll see that Interstate 90, also called the Massachusetts Turnpike, passes through the airport complex, via tunnels under the sea. Head west through the tunnel for the city centre, Fenway Park, and eventually New York state. To the north, the I-90 joins Route 1A and heads out of town towards the rest of New England. Eastbound traffic through the I-90 tunnels is free, westbound vehicles pay a small toll.
Once you’re out of the airport, you’ll join Boston’s European-style road system, with major arterial roads leading out from the heart of the city in all directions. There's also a beltway ring-road which surrounds the area, the I-95, allowing you to bypass the centre, head into the suburbs or explore the wider state.
Speed limits on highways are usually 70mph and on dual carriageways - or 'divided highways' - the speed limit is around 50mph. In the centre of Boston, the urban speed limit is 25mph.
You'll find that the city centre is small and compact for a US metropolis. There are plenty of places where you can park your vehicle for a reasonable fee. On-street meters start at $1.25 per hour, often have a time limit of two hours and are free on Sundays. There are also numerous garages in the Back Bay and Downtown areas, offering more long-term parking solutions.
Boston is one of America’s best cities to visit thanks to the character, style and ambience you'll find across this bustling metropolis. It’s packed with immaculately preserved history and occupies a prime waterfront spot. Logan International Airport is just three miles north-east of the centre, so if you’ve picked up a hire car from us, it’s easy to start exploring.
In the city's downtown district, you’ll find two great places to lose yourself in - the renowned Institute of Contemporary Art in its striking waterfront home displaying works by Cindy Sherman and Kiki Smith, and the hands-on fun of the Boston Children’s Museum, with everything from exhibits on the history of Boston to a huge adventure playground. Not far away is Fenway Park, the legendary home of the Red Sox baseball team. You can take a daytime tour or even catch a game for an authentic slice of American sporting history.
Head north and you’ll find many of the sights celebrating Boston’s important place in the fight for independence from the British. These are some of America’s most cherished attractions. The best way to see them is by using the Freedom Trail - an acclaimed 2.5-mile path winding through the downtown area linking 16 historically significant locations.
This marked brick walkway is a great way to learn about the history of the city. You’ll see landmarks like the USS Constitution, one of the US’s first warships; the Old South Meeting House, where the Boston Tea Party originated from; the Old State House, one of America’s oldest public buildings; and the 17th-century house of Paul Revere. Take in the views across the city and old harbour from the Bunker Hill memorial too.
The Trail also takes you to Faneuil Hall, one of the city’s main attractions. This grand old warehouse was a meeting place during the war of independence, but it has been restored and is now part of a lively waterside visitor area. This is now one of America’s most visited attractions, and the pavement cafes and cobbled paths around here are a perfect location to enjoy a bit of people watching and relaxation by the Charles River.
From the waterfront, you'll also be able to spend an afternoon exploring Boston Harbour Islands. A short ferry ride from Long Wharf, take to the islands' footpaths and take in the fresh New England air, or relax on one of the many sandy beaches. For breathtaking views across the water, make sure to take the tour of Boston Light, the USA's oldest lighthouse.
It’s worth planning a few day trips to some of the major sights located a short drive away. Massachusetts is home to attractions like the living history museum at Plimoth Plantation, celebrating an original colonial settlement. The waterfront at the historic town of Salem is a National Historic Site that includes ancient buildings and boats and nearby you'll find the ‘Witch House’ dating back to the infamous 17th-century witch trials.
Whether you’re in Boston on business or looking to explore the natural beauty of Massachusetts, hiring a car with us will allow you to tick off everything on your agenda.

Hertz Customer
Pretty easy. In and out quick. A little pricey. But all in all a good experience.
Hertz Customer
After a grueling 24-hour journey from Dubai, I arrived at Hertz Car Rental at Boston Airport, only to be greeted by the chaos that other reviewers have accurately described. Understaffed and poorly managed, with confusing signage and no trolleys available, the setup was far from ideal. I was exhausted, dragging three heavy bags, and found myself waiting in a long line with no place to sit. I was not the best version of myself by no means. However, amidst this disarray, there were rays of hope in the form of employees who truly 'leveled up' my experience. Despite the evident frustration and discomfort with the situation, a gentleman at the counter - working solo on a busy night - handled the long line with utmost professionalism. He listened to my grievances with patience and understanding, not losing his composure under pressure. And then there was the wonderful lady from Paraguay in the car lot. Seeing my exhaustion, she kindly brought over a stool for me to sit on and even arranged for a much nicer car than what I had paid for - a beautiful upgrade from the expected Toyota Corolla. Her cheerfulness, friendliness, and helpfulness were a breath of fresh air in an otherwise problematic experience. These individuals, with their dedication and empathy, turned a potentially negative review into a story of commendable customer service. They remind us that in the midst of poor management and operational challenges, the right people can make all the difference. Their efforts did not go unnoticed, and I deeply appreciate their kindness in a situation that was less than ideal.

A valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence must be presented at the time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended. In all cases, a valid driver's license issued from your home country must be provided, whether or not you possess an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to rent a Hertz vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.
International customers renting in the U.S. are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.
Mobile/Digital Driver License
A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and Hertz customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.
Rental of a 15-passenger van in California requires a commercial driver’s license to transport a non-profit group or for commercial use. The commercial driver’s license requirement does not apply to personal use. 15- passenger vans may not be used to transport passengers for hire.
Rentals have a grace period of 29 minutes.
Optional coverages do not have hourly charges/grace period, but are charged as a full day.
Extra hour charges will be incurred at the 30 minute mark if the vehicle is returned more than 29 minutes past the original rental time.
If renting in California:
Hertz provides no liability protection under the terms of the Rental Agreement to the renter from claims of injury by others against you resulting from an accident. Your personal/business insurance may cover your liability. Exceptions: Hertz will provide primary liability protection up to the statutory minimum limits to international customers (driver's license indicates an address outside the USA) renting in California. Please also refer to Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) below.
If renting in Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia:
Upon signing the Rental Agreement, Hertz provides primary liability protection. However, such protection is generally no more than the minimum limits required by individual state law. See Financial Responsibility Limits by State.
If renting in any other state in the U.S.A.:
Hertz' liability protection is secondary to any other insurance coverage available to you. If you do not have liability insurance and/or the limits of liability of the insurance coverage available to you are not sufficient to cover claims by others against you, and Hertz, as the vehicle owner, provides liability protection due to an accident, you will indemnify Hertz for any and all payments made.
However, Hertz makes available additional liability protection, which is primary, if the optional Liability Insurance Supplement, LIS, is purchased.
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS)
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) provides coverage for you and other authorized operators of your rental vehicle for third party claims.
LIS is primary protection to customer’s personal policy and provides the first $1,000,000.00 of combined bodily injury and/or property damage protection for each occurrence regardless of the state in which the accident occurs. On rentals in California and Florida the maximum combined single limit is $2,000,000.00 for liability protection only.
LIS provides up to $1,000,000.00 of Uninsured/Underinsured protection for bodily injury sustained while driving the rental vehicle.
There are some exclusions to this coverage, which we feel you should know. Under LIS, in the event of an accident, you will not be protected for third party liability:
LIS is third party liability coverage only, except where permitted by law or pertaining to Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. LIS does not cover personal injury to you or any authorized operator of the rental vehicle or to your or their family members who are related by blood, marriage or adoption and reside in your or their household.
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
In most states, in the event of any other loss or damage to the car, regardless of fault, your financial responsibility extends to the full value of the car at the time of rental, less its salvage value, plus expenses for towing, storage impound fees, an administrative fee and a reasonable charge for loss of use. If your responsibility differs in the state in which you rent, it will be stated in Paragraph 4, of the Rental Agreement. In California, in the event of any loss or damage to the car regardless of fault, your financial responsibility will in no event exceed the fair market value, plus actual charges for towing, storage, impound fees, and an administrative fee. In California and Nevada, your responsibility for loss or damage to the car from vandalism unrelated to theft will not exceed $500.00 in California and $2,500.00 in Nevada and you are not responsible for theft, regardless of purchasing LDW, unless the theft results from your fault.. In Illinois, your responsibility for loss or damage for any cause other than theft is limited to $15,500.00. Loss or damage related to theft is limited to $2,000.00, unless the theft results from your fault. In New York, your financial responsibility shall not exceed (i) the actual and reasonable costs that Hertz incurs to repair the car, including costs for towing, storage and impound fees or that Hertz would have incurred if the car was repaired or (ii) the fair market value of the car immediately before the damages occurred, as determined by the applicable market for the retail saleof the car less disposal proceeds. Your responsibility for theft of the car shall not exceed the reasonable costs incurred by Hertz for loss due to theft up to its fair market value, if it is established that you or any authorized operator failed to exercise reasonable care or aided or abetted in the theft.
F.Y.I. – You are under no obligation to purchase LDW or any other optional service as a condition of rental. Your own personal insurance may provide protection for loss or damage to the rental vehicle depending on the state in which you live and the type of policy you have. Also, various credit card companies provide cardholders with some degree of damage protection providing you use their credit card for the rental and decline the optional LDW offered by Hertz at time of rental. The coverage and limits vary. Your policy or credit card coverage should be thoroughly checked for the specific terms and conditions associated with rental vehicles. Remember, most credit card insurance is supplemental, which means it will only reimburse you for loss or damages over and above what is covered by any other insurance you may have and will not cover you for any damage, regardless of cause, if you accept LDW.
Adding LDW after car is on rental:
You may not change the option once the rental has begun, without returning the car and starting a new rental agreement. This will result in the contract being closed out and charges being assessed for the time the vehicle is kept at least 1-day minimum, and a new rental contract will begin.
Cancellation of LDW - New York rentals only:
On New York rentals only, LDW may be cancelled at no charge, within 24 hours of its purchase provided the renter (i) has rented the car for 2 or more days; (ii) appears in person at any Hertz rental location with the car, which shall be subject to inspection.

Personal Effects Coverage (PEC)
Personal Effects Coverage (PEC), offered in combination with PAI, is an option that insures against risk of loss or damage to help protect your personal belongings while renting from Hertz. By electing PEC you will be insured throughout the entire rental period. PEC is insurance protection and pays in addition to any other policy you may have (such as a Homeowner’s policy). However, your benefits provided by other coverage may be affected by the PEC benefit. PEC insurance coverage includes those personal effects owned by you and those members of your immediate family traveling with you during the rental period who are permanent residents of your household. PEC does not extend to non-family members traveling with you.
