Flying into BOS in winter can mean slick ramps, lake‑effect wind, and early sunsets. If your itinerary includes I‑90, Route 1A, or snow‑belt towns north of the city, a 4WD/AWD SUV is a smart choice—especially when you need confident traction without overthinking conditions.
Begin on our BOS Airport car rental page to see live availability by vehicle type. UK readers can check the BOS car hire page with the same filters. For a quick view of capacities and trims, you can scan Boston SUV rentals and compare which suppliers most often list all‑wheel‑drive models in winter months.
Who usually has AWD inventory?
Inventory changes daily, but brands with strong BOS footprints generally publish the widest AWD mix. Check fleet notes on pages like Enterprise at BOS and Alamo at Logan—these frequently advertise compact and midsize SUVs with AWD options, plus larger models when snowstorms roll in.
How to lock in the right SUV
Choose a vehicle category that explicitly lists AWD or 4WD in the description, and add your flight number so the desk can protect the reservation if your arrival slides. If you’re packing skis or bulky work gear, consider requesting roof‑rack‑compatible models; for families, confirm car‑seat compatibility and cargo cubic feet.
Winter‑driving essentials around Boston
- Plan extra time on I‑93 and the Sumner/Callahan tunnels during storms.
- Carry gloves and a scraper; clear snow from roof and lights before driving.
- Use lower gears on steep, icy streets and keep longer following distances.
- Refuel before returning; downtown stations can be pricier.
