Top Three RV Rental Locations in Massachusetts
Massachusetts was the first colony to rebel against the British in 1776, and the site of the “shot heard round the world.” Today, its large cities are indicative of the state’s success. Boston, on the Atlantic coast, is the largest, with over 675,000 people in the city proper and almost 5 million people in its metropolitan area. Worcester in central Massachusetts is the second largest with a population of 206,000, and Springfield in the southwestern section of the state is the third largest, holding 155,000 people.
The most popular RVs rented in Massachusetts are the Class A and Class C motorhomes. These self-contained units include living quarters and the driving cabin. The Class C motorhome is the most used and consists of a kitchen with appliances and hidden beds exposed by dropping platforms. The most affordable Class Cs available in Massachusetts will sleep around six people for $185 a night. Class A motorhomes are more luxurious and more powerful. You can find these vehicles starting at around $200 per night.
The popularity of travel trailers is not far behind motorhomes. The smallest are also the least expensive, starting at around $90 per night. Longer trailers are generally more costly but they can typically be found starting at around $100 per night.

Today, Springfield is the economic hub of western Massachusetts and has the area’s largest concentration of entertainment, retail, banking, and manufacturing industries.

Initially, the Old State House hosted the Massachusetts Colonial government. It was then transformed to be the capital of the new state of Massachusetts until larger structures were created to house an expanding government. In the 1800s, it served as Boston’s Town Hall before being abandoned by the government. Today, it is a reminder of the significant events that took place in the building.
