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."
