At Boston Airport, choose an Intermediate car such as a Volkswagen Jetta at £46 a day in November 2026 for 4 bags; it seats 5, so a full car needs to pack lighter. Around a month before your trip, a Compact car such as a Nissan Versa averages £45 a day for November 2026, but takes only 3 bags, so choose it only if your luggage fits. A Fullsize car such as a Chevrolet Malibu averages £57 a day for November 2026 and seats 6, but still takes only 4 bags, so the extra seat does not add luggage space.
