Using
Rental Cars in
New England

BOSTON, Mass. - Vacation
travel in rented cars is repeatedly
on the upswing in New England.
largely because of its economy.
For example, a 1,400-mile, two
week tour in a rented car, covering
|all the New England States. would
cost a lone driver approximately
$182. A party of four could make
the same tour for $45 so each, and
five for $3.50 per person. The
outlay includes rental, gas, oil and
insurance.
According to an official of one
rental auto company, the majority
of rental car vacationers are al
ready car owners. Many of them.
he explains, live in other sections
of the country. travel by train or
lplane, and then rent a car on ar
rival. They enjoy the comfort and
pleasure of private auto touring
without firing and time consum-
ing cross-country driving.
Car Size to Suit.
Other reasons car owners give
for using rental service for vaca-
tion travel include:
l. The dependable mechanical
condition of rented cars. In many
cases the family car requires ex-
pensive overhauling or repair
before it is ready to undertake a
vacation trip, and again afterWard.
2. The family car may be too
small to carry four passengers
and their luggage comfortably. or
it may be too light for heavy duty
vacation use. The car owner can
rent an auto of the type and size
best suited to the needs of his
vacation party.
3. Use of rented car on vaca-
ton trips gives the car owner an
opportunity to put his Car in the
shop for needed repairs, or makes
| it available for use by the stay
at-home members Of the family.
Suggested Tours.
For the stranger to New Eng
land. the following possible auto
tours are suggested. Expenses
quoted use Boston as a base point.
They are approximate per-person
costs for a party of four.
/. A three-day tour of Massa.
chusetts South Shore, covering
about 280 miles, with stops at
historic Plymouth and scenic Cape
Cod-approximately $1,000 per
person.
2. A one-day, 100-mile tour Of
the North Shore, stopping at
Salem and the colorful old fishing
village of Gloucester-about $3.75
per person.
3. A'70-mile, two-day tour Of old
