KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lowell

  • When traveling to Lowell, you should consider getting a rental car to help you move around the city with ease. Having a car rental in Lowell is almost similar to having your car because you get the convenience and flexibility to go anywhere you want at any time without having to rely on public transport. With your rental car, you can check out some of the attractions in the city such as Whistler House Museum of Art, Boott Cotton Mills Museum, and Concord River Greenway Park. You can also check out neighboring cities such as Nashua which is about 30 miles away and home to notable sites such as Mine Falls Park, Holman Stadium & Greeley Park.
  • When coming to Lowell, you can pick up your cheap Lowell car rental at Boston Logan International Airport which is less than 20 miles from the city center. BOS Airport has a rental car center that hosts all the rental companies serving the airport including Enterprise, Hertz, Budget, Avis, Alamo, and SIXT among others. the Rental Car Center features a four-level garage adding up to about 1.3 million square feet of parking space. To get to this facility, you can take the airport shuttle which runs from the terminal every six minutes.
  • Driving in Lowell is often hectic so be sure to be extra careful when roaming these streets.

The most affected streets are Merrimack Street, Middlesex Street, and Central Street plus the intersection of Central and Church streets.

I had contract for reservation and was given a "courtesy" call saying local agency didn't have car I'd reserved, but I could get another car at additional charge. Agent was infuriatingly insistent that he was doing me a courtesy by telling me he could charge me an additional charge, and he would not honor the contract... when I called Hertz the company was no more helpful... I was told a supervisor would call back, but that never happened... experience could not have been worse

I was upset that I had to wait an hour to get my car rental and the person who was assisting me did not apologize for the wait once. She answered personal calls while helping other customers. She also told me that she did not brush the snow off my vehicle since she could tell that I was in a rush. Really this just took me more time because I had to brush the snow off myself. I ended up being over an hour late to work due to this. I will not be renting a car from Hertz again.
