KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Peabody
- Car rentals in Peabody, Massachusetts make perfect sense as a mode of transportation. Visitors can get to the city’s iconic landmarks more than four times as quickly in Peabody car rentals than they could on public transportation. Furthermore, car rentals in Peabody allow you to explore this renowned region of the country on your own schedule. Boston is less than an hour south and Cape Anne is about 30 minutes north. Salem is a 10-minute drive to the east and Cape Cod is a 2-hour drive to the south. In Peabody car rentals, drivers can hop on Interstate 95, Interstate 495, or Interstate 93 and head north into the heart of New England.
- If you are flying in to visit Peabody, Massachusetts, the Boston Logan International Airport is the ideal airport to choose from. Not only is this airport less than 40 minutes away from Peabody, but it has many car rental agencies to choose from. When you land at Boston Logan, proceed to the Arrivals curb on the lower level of any terminal and catch a blue and white shuttle bus to the Boston Logan Rental Car Center or RCC. You can catch a shuttle to the RCC about every six or seven minutes. Car rental agencies you will find in Boston Logan include Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, National, Alamo, Budget, Sixt, Zipcar, Payless, Thrifty, and Dollar.
- Peabody, a small city about 30 minutes north of Boston, is well known for its easy access to a number of major highways. When you drive car rentals in Peabody, you will find it easy and convenient to get where you need to go. As Peabody is so close to Boston, beware of congested traffic, especially on the highways, during the rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm.
- When you're driving car rentals in Peabody, watch out for potholes in the town of Peabody itself. Many of its small, quaint roads suffer from potholes, so you will need to slow down if you see damage in the pavement so that you do not get a flat tire. Also, be aware that Peabody tends to receive winter weather such as snow and freezing temperatures for more than five months out of the year, from November through the middle of April. If you choose a Peabody car rental during these months, make sure that your tires have good traction for snow and ice and that your windshield wipers are in good working order before you leave the rental lot.
- Book your car hire in Peabody at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
Good thing i did not have to use the windshield wipers. The window cleaner they used left a film on the windshield. It was very dangerous. I did not have to fight a wet road and spray thank God. I told them about it.9,2 Wonderful

Pros:
The car was very good. Powerful and new.Cons:
It didn't feel squeaky clean, like alot of other rental cars have. It didn't smell, but had a warm dankness, as though it had been sitting in a hot location not totally clean inside.Budget

Pros:
Staff at pick up was friendly and helpfulCons:
Staff at drop off attempted to indicate I had not picked the car up with 1/2 tank of gas and tried to make me go away to fill it when I returned it 3/4 full. I had a flight to catch and drop off was unnecessarily delaying.4,0 Mediocre

Linda, Mar 2021
Pros:
Yes, except it was difficult to find them. Drove around the parking lot of the hotel and didn't see their office. Finally went into the hotel lobby and was told where they were in the building.Cons:
The car I picked up had not been cleaned...it was filthy. I was told that if I could get it detailed for $20-30 that they would reimburse me for it. It just seemed unacceptable to give me a car that had not been cleaned since the last renter. Good thing I had sanitizing wipes with me that I used on all the surfaces I was using. Never have I rented a car that was filthy before.3,2 Poor

Seth, Oct 2020
Pros:
The car was clean, new, and the reps at the location were friendly and helpful. Answered all my questions.Cons:
At my initial pick-up the branch was empty, doors unlocked, no one inside, no cars in the lot. Another customer was there for a similar pick-up time. When I went inside the branch the alarm went off and the police showed up. Phone Customer Service was eventually able to schedule me for a pick-up the next day, and thankfully I didn't need the car until then, but it did waste a few hours of my day and cause a lot of frustration. The pick-up on the following day was much smoother, the reps were quick and friendly. Probably just a freak occurrence, but still annoying. Still have no idea why no one was at the first branch at the original pick-up time.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was very organized, helpful, and efficient. Daniel Joyner (Danvers, MA) was a pleasure to work with. He had the van ready to go when I arrived. We did a quick review of the vehicle and he showed me how all controls worked. I really liked the electronic pad used to initial and sign the agreement - very easy & efficient.Cons:
I would have liked the gas tank to be full when I picked up the van. I do not like picking up a vehicle with the tank half empty.... When I am racing to my destination on a long drive, having to stop to get gas is a dissatisfier.10,0 Wonderful
