Better yet, there's an Avis agent not much more than four blocks from
South Station in Boston.  I took the train from Newark to Boston in
September, stopped off at a colleague's office building about two blocks
from South Street Station, then walked another two blocks to the Avis
agent, picked up a car, and continued my trip to New Hampshire.
Also, I was able to drop my car off at Logan Airport on the return trip,
and it was considered to have been dropped off at the same place (i.e.
no one-way charges applied.  This would not have been true where
I live in New Jersey, where renting from an agency [privately owned
and franchised by Avis] and dropping off the car at the airport
[owned by Avis] is considered a one-way rental.)
