Hertz car rental at Boston Logan International Airport
Boston Logan International Airport, also known as BOS, sits across the harbour from downtown Boston. It is a useful starting point if your plans include the waterfront, Back Bay, Cambridge, business districts, coastal Massachusetts, or longer New England routes.
By getting a Hertz car rental at Boston Logan International Airport, you can hop in your vehicle the moment you step into this iconic city and decide the course of your exploration, without relying on strict public transport timings. A rental car further helps when your trip includes more than one neighbourhood or continues beyond the city.
If you choose to get a Hertz car hire at Boston Logan International Airport, plan your first route before leaving the airport area. Boston’s roads include tunnels, one-way streets, compact parking garages, toll roads, and busy bridges, so it is better to know your garage or hotel approach before joining the main route.
With your Hertz car, you can reach several key spots in a short drive:
- Downtown Boston is about 3 to 5 miles, around 15 to 30 minutes by car
- Boston Common is about 4 miles, around 20 to 35 minutes by car

Mon-Sun 24 hours
156 Tomahawk Drive, Building 42 A, Boston, 2128, United States
Driving in and around Boston Logan International Airport
Boston Logan International Airport connects to downtown through the Sumner Tunnel and Ted Williams Tunnel, with I-90 useful for the Seaport, South Boston, Back Bay approaches, and longer routes west. Route 1A is important for East Boston, Revere, and North Shore drives, while I-93 connects to points north and south.
Parking is often the part to plan first. Garages are usually easier than street parking near the waterfront, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, North End, and Cambridge. Street spaces may have meters, resident rules, loading zones, snow restrictions, and street-cleaning limits. Boston Harbour Tunnels and the Massachusetts Turnpike use electronic tolling, so check your Hertz toll terms before driving.
A quick guide to Boston Logan International Airport and beyond
Logan works well for city stays, coastal trips, university visits, and wider New England drives. Choosing to rent a car at BOS can give you a useful head start. Here’s how you can smartly explore more of this city.
Choose the tunnel carefully
Use the Ted Williams Tunnel for Seaport, South Boston, and I-90 routes. Use the Sumner Tunnel for downtown and North End approaches when traffic allows.
Park before historic streets
For Beacon Hill, North End, the waterfront, and Boston Common, choose a garage before entering narrow city streets.
Leave space for day trips
For Salem, Cape Cod, Providence, or New Hampshire routes, start early and allow for tunnel, bridge, and weekend traffic.
