Car rental pick-up point

We are travelling to Boston from the U.K. in October and after spending a few days in Boston (staying at John Jeffries House) are travelling to South Deerfield. I would be grateful for advice as to which rental car pick-up point would give us easiest access to the I-90 Logan Airport or Boston Government Centre, Centre Plaza. With very many thanks.

Either one will work, but.... From the Airport, it%26#39;s a little easier to see signage directing you to I90, but it%26#39;s a little further east (and you wantto go west) plus you would have to pay an extra $3.50 toll. From Government Center, you would have to go a little bit on city streets to reach I90, but not too far at all. And, if you didn%26#39;t have a lot of lugguage, you could actualy walk to pick up the car, where you would have to take the subway to the Airport to get a car. All in all, if prices are the same, Government Center looks like it wins!

Alanm is right that the Government Center location is the closest. It%26#39;s inside the parking garage located beneath the Holiday Inn Beacon Hill on Cambridge Street. I think the company is National. Avis is up at Center Plaza itself.





From the John Jeffries House I would take Storrow Drive West to the Copley Square exit, turn right on Beacon Street and then left on Clarendon. Follow Clarendon for about 7 lights. As you pass the Hancock Tower you%26#39;ll see a sign on the Clarendon Street garage saying Mass Pike West. The onramp is a little wacky but it will get you right onto I-90 and you%26#39;re off!




Many thanks Alanm and Beansandcod for your helpful information, Centre Plaza it is then.
