There are many components to a successful visit to Boston. Where to stay, what to see, how to get around. We’ve always been of some help on where to stay and the Go Boston Card has what to see nicely covered. But on how to get around, we traditionally haven’t offered as much.
So here’s a tip for a handy way to get a good deal on car rentals when visiting Boston. Its called Vroom Vroom Vroom, and they have a dedicated Boston page on their site that will let you shop across all the top car rental companies.
While new to the U.S., Vroom Vroom Vroom has been around since 2002, when they were founded in Australia. They are the top online site for car rentals there, and in addition to their expansion into the U.S. in 2008, they also cover Canada, the U.K. and New Zealand.
They also have embraced the Green movement by paying more than just lip service to a concern over Global Warming. The company offers its customers free carbon offsets for car rentals booked on the site. Combine that with their low price guarantee and you can be green while saving green. Not bad!

Companies typically think highly of their own products. If it were left to them, most companies would give all their products a five star review all the time. That’s why most people thinking about buying something tend to trust what customers say about a product. Increasingly, companies are following suit.
Last Summer, Smart Destinations hired KRC Research to interview over 1,300 people who had bought and used Go Cards and Explorer Passes. The customers were asked a variety of questions about their experiences with the cards and what they thoughts about the product.
The results that came back were overwhelmingly positive. 94% of the customers said they were either “satisfied” or “extremely satisfied” with the product (with most selecting “extremely satisfied”).
Perhaps even more impressively, Smart Destinations “Net Promoter Score” came in at 8 given that 91% of the people surveyed said they would recommend the product to someone else (many thanks to a reader for pointing out an earlier error in the calculation). Studies have show that the willingness to recommend a product shows a much stronger level of satisfaction than any other measure.
So if you are thinking about buying a Go Boston Card or one of the other destinations that are covered by Smart Destinations’ cards, it is reassuring to know that previous customers have been happy with their purchase and are willing to tell others that they should buy the product. You can read more about using the Go Boston Card on About.comwhere a reviewer has written about one family’s experience using the card.
