The major car rental agencies, Avis, Hertz and National all have 
locations in the city.  They are:

	Avis 3 Center Plaza (617) 369-1190
	Hertz 1 Center Plaza 1-800 654-3131
	National 183 Dartmouth St (617) 426-6830

Center Plaza is also known as Government Center to the locals.

There are no auto agencies shown in the phone directory which are within
easy walking distance of South Station.  Warning about South Station,
The original structure has been completely stripped, only the shell
remains but AMTRAK and MBTA have a temporary waiting room and ticket
office which only barely meets basic needs.  Reopening of the station
is 2 to 3 years off.
