KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waltham

  • Are you planning to visit Waltham for a stay? Consider Waltham car rentals to get the most out of your visit. The place is intensely beautiful, with several heartwarmingly attractive places you can be delightful to explore. Your trip will be hassle-free when you get yourself a car rental in Waltham. Not only that, but you will only save a lot of time, money, and energy when you rent a car in Waltham. As a result, you'll enjoy the trip and be in control of your budget. You want to visit other places once you arrive in Waltham, and the most reliable way is to get a cheap rental car. Feasting your eyes on the fascinating work of Art at the Rose Art Museum is an example of what you can do when you get a car rental in Waltham.
  • Those landing at Boston (BOS) Airport or Worcester can take advantage of the many airport car rental agencies to book their rental car. Airports have several car rental agencies you can rely on for cheap cars. The popular car rental agencies include Hertz, Budget, Enterprise, Zipcar, Venture, and Avis. You can find these car rental agencies at the lower point of every terminal within the airport. Engage more than one car rental agency to get the best deals.
  • When driving your rental car in Waltham, you will likely encounter jaywalkers. They may cross the streets without signals. Always be careful when driving to avoid causing accidents. Cyclists may often overlook the traffic light policies. Also, be careful when approaching or overtaking them because even if they are on the wrong side of the law, you don’t want to be inconvenienced by getting into complex situations where you have to prove your innocence. Plus, visiting Waltham during winter is good, but you must be more careful when driving because the roads are snowy and icy.
  • Waltham is known for its heavy traffic, especially during rush hours. Rush hours typically start from 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm and 7 pm. Always avoid intersections that are more likely to be affected by traffic. Do not use the intersections like Main and Moody Streets, Moody and Felton Streets, Main and Felton Street, and Lexington and Trapelo streets during rush hours. You can arrive at your destination earlier if you must. Otherwise, use these streets after the rush hours.
  • Book your car hire in Waltham at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Waltham are around 8% cheaper than other car types, on average

For instance, you will drive at 20mph along The B123 Waltham to East Ravensdale Road, 30mph driving on North East Lincolnshire, and 50mph driving on A18.

The city has speed cameras; therefore, you must adhere to the speed limits to avoid being served with traffic tickets or suspension of your license.

    There are many cheap and accessible places where you can park your car rental in Waltham. Central Square Deck, MBTA Waltham Station, Chapel Bridge Park, Courtyard Boston, or Station Bank Office Park are recommended places you can park your rental car. Parking is limited from one place to another. Thus, get in touch with the management to understand their terms.

Pros:

The staff did not recognize my rental and claimed that they did not have my contact information from Kayak to inform me that they had cancelled my reservation and did not have cars available. My phone number and contact details were clearly listed on the reservation with Kayak.

Cons:

They were not willing to make any accomodation. It would have been better if I had gone elsewhere.

I will never rent from budget again. Wildly unprofessional, the car rental experience was stressful and the car itself was disgusting.

Pick up and drop off we’re simple and efficient. Discovered a tire had a nail in it and was leaking. Called their 1-800 number and they arranged for me to swap out the car. Very satisfied with their response.

My only complaint is that the windshield wipers did not work properly. They made a scraping noise so that they could not be left on.

The customer service rep was precise in her information. Basically took my license, typed out info then handed me the keys. No extra communications. At this location you pick up the car yourself from a very dim lit garage. When I returned the car I told her the car was not clean. Her response was we video the car before it goes out. I said the car was sandy, including in the backseat, between the seats. Her reply was we video before it goes out. I said no, when I picked up the car it had sand all inside the vehicle. Again, her response was we video the car before it goes out and adjust amount if necessary. What? So they take videos instead of cleaning it?

I was disappointed that they only had an SUV when I was looking for a smaller car, but otherwise, everything was excellent. Great service.

There was nobody at the dropoff location, we arrived during the open hours but there was no attendance in the garage. We waited for an hour and it took 20 minutes to get a person on the phone from Hertz customer service.

Car hire insurance in Waltham

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Waltham car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Waltham.

Deductible

Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Waltham car hire.
