Practical tips
Offers in Boston
Driving and regulations
In the United States, from Boston in Massachusetts, a standard car driver's license is sufficient to drive a campervan or van, although an international license is recommended for road checks around the city. Adhere to strict speed limits, such as 25 mph in residential areas of Boston, and equip your vehicle with a helmet for all occupants, an adequate braking system, and functioning lights, in accordance with Massachusetts laws on recreational vehicles.
Avoid Massachusetts tolls without an E-ZPass badge and note that heavy diesel campervans may face new registration restrictions starting in 2025 in Massachusetts, impacting rentals in Boston like those from Cruise America near Logan Airport.
Sleeping and connecting
In Boston, overnight parking of campervans is prohibited in most city streets, including around Back Bay or the financial district, pushing travelers towards equipped campgrounds like those managed by the U.S. Forest Service accessible via Route 93. Opt for sites with electric hookups, showers, and potable water, bookable up to six months in advance near Boston to recharge your batteries and empty the tanks.
Local tips and safety
When departing from Boston, always ask for permission to camp on private properties like Walmart parking lots in Quincy or rest areas along Interstate 90, and stay more than 150 feet from residences without permission according to Massachusetts rules. For safety, wear the mandatory seatbelt and avoid winding roads in parks like Cape Cod if your van exceeds 22 feet, favoring shuttles or wide routes from Boston.

The rental in the US went well. Although I had some trouble reaching people to clarify a few points once on site, there were no issues in the end. The RV on-site was great, spacious, fully equipped, and met our expectations.
