KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Shrewsbury

  • Car rentals in Shrewsbury, MA, come with several advantages you may not enjoy if you choose public transportation. If you're traveling with a group or family, renting a car might be comparable to or even more economical than purchasing multiple public transportation tickets.

A rental car lets you effortlessly reach remote or less-touristy spots, including Tower Hill Botanic Garden and Quinsigamond State Park.
  • Visitors arriving in Shrewsbury, MA, by air will likely land at the Worcester Regional Airport (ORH), about 8.7 miles away. The facility is convenient for picking up your car rentals in Shrewsbury if you want to leap into the adventure immediately after you land. Several major car rental companies have counters at the airport, offering various vehicle options for travelers.

Definitely get what you pay for with this place. Took an hour to pick up my rental even though there were only a few other customers. Some people’s cars were not there so they were turned away, and the customer bathroom was out of service. The man who works there is just a bit odd and I would call the customer service sub-par. That being said, the car was in great shape and it was a really good price.

I don’t know if there’s a way to incentivize other renters not to smoke in the cars. That was an issue that came up for me.

Pros:

The staff at the Gold Star Blvd location was excellent, drop off was easy.

The worst experience every. Rude workers, I stood there for 15 mins before someone even said can I help you. Then when the did finally help. This place did even have the vehicle I reserved the night before. Then Instead of calling to inform me. They let me come down there to just tell me there was not car there for me. Worst place ever to rent a car. Never again entershitprise

The truck I ordered was not available, but was still charged the 2 days of insurance from Allianz. I am assuming there is no further communication between Kayak and Enterprise after I press reserve...

They upgraded me to a”better” car that wasn’t better. I had requested a KIA Soul on the website -/ a car that I have owned and am used to. They gave me an Altima. I am a big man and do not like driving a “low” car. I felt that I was scraping the ground with my butt Also, this location does not have a Dropbox for keys, so I could not drop the car off after hours — NOT convenient Otherwise everything was fine and I will rent from Avis again

I was given a car that had 3/8 gas and smelled heavily like smoke. It smelled like someone had been smoking in there for years. As soon as I received the car and sat inside, I could not tolerate the smell. I went back inside and asked for alternative vehicle as this one was intolerable. I was told that there were no other vehicles in the entire lot that I could switch to. There were probably 50-100 cars there so this was a lie especially since I paid for a mid-sized SUV. Then I asked why the gas tank was 3/8 full only and she said she’s working alone and doesn’t have time to do all the work. I then set off with the nasty smoke filled car. The drive was so unbearable for myself and my children that we stopped at another Budget when we reached our destination the next morning to try and return the car a day early. We were given the run around and told that if we do this, we would be charged an early termination fee. For it make any sense to be charged more to return a car a day and a half early??. We therefore kept the car and returned it as planned to the TTN airport as scheduled. We told them about the car smell and they said nothing, did nothing, and frankly were then most unprofessional agents at any car rental facility I’ve ever been to. Several of us customers were waiting for the Budget shuttle to transport us back to the airport from the rental return. We were made to wait over 30min even after several of us asked how long it would be they would keep telling us in two minutes. There were 3 agents and barely any customers or phone calls, yet they sat there and just chit chatted instead of caring for the customers. Worst car rental experience ever. I doubt I would use Budget again.

The vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, smelled of marijauna. The car itself was extremely uncomfortable, though no fault of Budget. The seats were akin to medieval torture devices, I will definitely decline any rentals that use those cars.

Pick up process—fine. Around 2pm. Condition of car—perfect. Drop off—the worst you can imagine. I arrived at the garage at 6pm. Attendant informs me that Budget is “closed”—as of 3pm. (It is physically impossible to drive from Worcester to NYC in one hour.) Budget had no idea this was the case. Attendant refused to accept the car. I had to park it overnight and take it back… now. This morning.
