Question 5

What kind of rental car should I get for Roslindale?

Accepted Answer

Roslindale is a few miles outside of central Boston, so there's a high chance you'll be doing a fair amount of driving. If you're planning to use Roslindale as a starting point to discover the city and its surroundings, rent a smaller set of wheels. Nothing beats a compact for maneuvering into those crowded parking spots. Alternatively, if you're heading away from the bright lights and busy traffic, book something with a stronger engine and more storage. Not many tourists regret spending that little bit extra on a full-size or a premium car.

Question 6

Should I get a luxury rental car in Roslindale?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's a broad range of both economy and luxury vehicles to rent in Roslindale. What you end up going with depends on your funds and the activities you've got planned. Prestige vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not go for an elite SUV, or perhaps a slick medium-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you just need a set of wheels to get you from A to B as cheaply as possible, maybe go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
