National Car Hire in Manchester

National's counter at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport sits in the Consolidated Rental Car Facility directly across the street from baggage claim — no shuttle required, and the walk from the terminal takes roughly 5 to 10 minutes. The counter operates daily from 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM, so late arrivals should plan accordingly; pickup typically takes 15 to 30 minutes once you reach the desk. New Hampshire uses E-ZPass, the electronic tolling system common across the Northeast US, and National offers a TollPass Programme at US$4.95 per day (capped at US$34.65 per hire) that covers toll lane access — without it, unpaid tolls may generate separate billing and admin fees after your return home. Fuel in the Manchester area runs around US$3.45 per gallon; return the tank full to avoid National's higher in-house refuelling rate. Budget for an authorisation hold of US$300 to US$400 placed on a credit card in the primary driver's name at pickup — debit cards are not accepted. Drivers whose licence uses a non-Latin script (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must carry an International Driving Permit alongside the original licence; Latin-script licences from any country are accepted without one. Drivers under 25 may face an underage surcharge unless it is already included in the booked rate.
