While large vans and SUVs are very comfy and offer plenty of legroom, they can prove tricky to park and maneuver. Seeing as Downtown Boston is just 0.2 miles from Boston, it's highly likely you'll be zigzagging your way around town. Our advice? Pick a ride with enough room for all your buddies and your luggage but still compact enough for city driving. Our standard-size vehicles should fit the bill.
