Explore New England with a car rental in Boston

There are many fascinating and picturesque places to explore in New England, using Boston as your base for edifying car rental day trips. A good starting point is Rockport, which is only an hour from Boston by car and home to a range of galleries and art stores, as well as a dramatic coastline.

If you're heading to New England in the winter, there are also many popular skiing destinations accessible by car, including Jackson, North Conway, Stowe and Killington, which is only a few hours from Boston with a car rental. Skiers will likely enjoy the freedom offered by a car rental when staying in world-class resorts on a ski holiday in North America.

Your Boston car rental allows you to trace the history of the American Revolution, including its starting point in Concord. Only a short drive from Boston, this town is popular for outdoor activities such as walking, biking and swimming in Walden Pond. You can also travel west of Boston to discover Lexington, the home of the Minutemen and an important historic suburb in the New England area.

Another important destination for historic day trips out of Boston is Plymouth, the famous site where the first Pilgrims of the Mayflower landed on American soil, which now features a full size replica of the iconic vessel for visitors to explore. Your car rental can also take you to the region's famous fishing and whaling villages, including Nantucket and Woods Hole, which offer idyllic beaches. The town of Salem - now more well-known as the site of the infamous Witch Trials - also makes for an enjoyable day out, filled with historic 17th century houses and 19th century mansions.
