Question 5

What kind of rental car should I get for Chelsea?

Accepted Answer

Make sure the car you select for your Chelsea vacation will fit all your passengers and your gear. When you've done that, consider where your travels will take you. If you'll spend the majority of your time in downtown Boston (which is just 3 miles away), pick up a smaller ride to easily navigate city traffic. Prefer to clock up miles on the open road? Choose a car that offers a little more legroom and trunk space.

Question 6

Should I get a luxury rental car in Chelsea?

You'll be happy to hear that there's a huge variety of both luxury and economy rental vehicles on offer in Chelsea. What you end up opting for is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend and what you're hoping to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about comfort and class. If you're splashing out, why not pick a high-end SUV, or perhaps an upmarket mid-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you just need a car to get you around town as efficiently as possible, maybe go for an economy vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).
