Find cheap car rental deals in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Two of America’s most prestigious educational establishments can be found in the historic town of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Harvard’s campus is famously picturesque, with the Ivy League institution offering awesome art museums, tours of the grounds, and some celebrated arts venues. MIT, meanwhile, is an architectural marvel. Drive around this university to see buildings designed by Frank Gehry, Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei. Its campus museum is a fascinating journey through the history of technology. Although the town is compact, renting a car is immensely useful, opening up the surrounding cities and allowing you quick access between the two legendary institutions. Orbitz can help you find the best deal.
