Car Rental in Boston Waterfront

Boston Waterfront stretches along the harbor in central Boston, with direct views of Boston Harbor Islands and easy access to Long Wharf and the New England Aquarium. Two car rental companies serve the area, and Logan Airport can be reached in 15 minutes (5 km) via Sumner Tunnel. From here, it's easy to venture out on coastal roads north toward Gloucester or south toward Plymouth.

Long Wharf is the starting point for ferries to Boston Harbor Islands, and Faneuil Hall Marketplace is just 300 meters west. The North End with Paul Revere House and authentic Italian restaurants is a 10-minute walk away. Drive Route 1A north along the coast for a beautiful trip toward Swampscott and Salem (30 km, 40 min).
