Picking up at BOS

Rental center
All major brands sit in one consolidated Rental Car Center off Jack R. Kelly Drive, away from the terminals. Free Massport shuttle buses run 24/7 from every terminal's lower level, every 5-10 minutes, with the ride itself taking just a few minutes. Look for blue-and-white buses marked Rental Car Shuttle.
Driving & tolls
Massachusetts tolling is fully cashless: pay through E-ZPass MA or get billed via Pay By Plate, which runs nearly double the toll plus an invoice fee. Rentals auto-enroll in the company's e-Toll program, adding its own daily fee on top. The Ted Williams Tunnel and the Sumner/Callahan Tunnel feed Logan and back up hard at rush hour, and winter nor'easters can shut down I-93/I-95 with little warning.
Terminals
Terminal A, Terminal B, Terminal C, Terminal E

Suppliers on site
Logan's on-airport Rental Car Center at 15 Transportation Way hosts Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Sixt and Thrifty.
Fees that inflate the rate
Massachusetts applies a $6 per day customer facility charge to Logan rentals, plus a concession recovery fee (commonly cited around 10 to 11%) to cover the airport lease.
When prices peak
Demand and prices peak during fall foliage (late September through October) and in summer; January and February are typically the slowest, cheapest months.
Money-saving tip
Massachusetts has no cash tolls, so bring your own E-ZPass and ask the counter to disable theirs, avoiding the roughly $6.95 per day toll convenience fee.
