Car Hire in Boston
Getting to Boston
Boston is a popular destination and entry point into the US, with onward connections to many US cities. Logan International Airport is served by most major national and international carriers. Trans-Atlantic flights are frequent, flying daily to many European cities. The airport is modern, and well serviced by taxis, limos, shuttles and buses: access to the city is reliable, and frequent, arriving at Boston's Rowes Wharf on the northeastern waterfront..
South Station is the departure point of Amtrak trains, which run down the eastern seaboard and inland towards Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Over long distances its a reasonably comfortable alternative to flying, and the scenery can be rewarding.
Bostons bus station is modern and easy, located just south of the Financial District. The Greyhound network reaches every town in the US and buses down the eastern seaboard are frequent, departing several times a day for NYC. Its the cheapest means of travel but not very comfortable over long distances.
It's a three-hour ferry ride or a three-hour drive from Boston to Provincetown on Cape Cod. Highways feed the city from all directions, easing traffic. The 93 runs north and south, crossing the river near Northend (there are several other river crossings), while the 90 (Mass Pike) is an east bound toll. The road Network in Massachusetts is extensive, convenient and safe.
