Logan Airport Car Rental Pickup & Return Directions
Just landed at Boston Logan? This step-by-step guide walks you from baggage claim to your Belo Rentals car and back again. Your pickup happens at the designated peer-to-peer car-share area on the ground level of the Logan Economy Parking Garage — not at the traditional airport Rental Car Center.
Your pickup in four steps
A quick overview before you land — the detailed directions are below.
Collect your bags
Grab your luggage at baggage claim, then head down to the lower arrivals level of your terminal.
Find Ground Transportation
Follow the 'Ground Transportation' signage to the on-airport shuttle bus stops.
Ride Shuttle Route 88
Board the Massport Airport Shuttle Route 88 toward Economy Parking and ride to the Economy Parking Garage.
Meet your car
At the garage, go to the ground level — the peer-to-peer car-share pickup area. Your reservation has your exact space and access details.
Two different locations — don't mix them up
Logan has a traditional Rental Car Center used by the big counter brands. Belo Rentals does not pick up there. Your car is in the peer-to-peer car-share area on the ground level of the Economy Parking Garage, which is a separate location reached by Airport Shuttle Route 88 toward Economy Parking.
Directions by terminal
The route is the same idea from every terminal: get to the lower arrivals level, follow Ground Transportation signs, and take Shuttle Route 88 toward Economy Parking.
From Terminal A
After you collect your bags, take the escalator or elevator down to the lower arrivals level. Follow the 'Ground Transportation' signage out to the on-airport shuttle stops and board Airport Shuttle Route 88 toward Economy Parking. Ride to the Economy Parking Garage, then make your way to the ground level, where the peer-to-peer car-share pickup area is located.

They will lead you to the shuttle stops — board Airport Shuttle Route 88 toward Economy Parking. Get off at the Economy Parking Garage and go to the ground level to reach the car-share pickup area.
From Terminal C
From Terminal C baggage claim, continue down to the lower arrivals level and follow the 'Ground Transportation' signage to the on-airport shuttle stops. Board Airport Shuttle Route 88 toward Economy Parking and ride to the Economy Parking Garage. The peer-to-peer car-share pickup area is on the ground level of the garage.
From Terminal E (International)
If you're arriving on an international flight, clear customs and collect your luggage first. Then continue to the lower arrivals level and follow the 'Ground Transportation' signs to the shuttle stops.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Going to the traditional Rental Car Center. That's for the counter brands — your Belo car is at the Economy Parking Garage car-share area, a different location.
- Waiting at the terminal curb for a handoff. Belo Rentals does not provide terminal-curbside vehicle pickup at this location — you'll ride the shuttle to Economy Parking.
- Boarding the wrong shuttle. Look specifically for Airport Shuttle Route 88 toward Economy Parking.
- Not reading your reservation before you land. Your exact space, access method, and key instructions are in the booking — screenshot them in case of spotty signal.
- Wandering the garage looking for your car. Don't search randomly; your reservation tells you exactly where it is and how to access it.
Smart travel tips
Save your details offline
Screenshot your reservation's location, space, and access instructions before you land in case airport signal is weak.
Leave a buffer
Shuttle timing varies with traffic and time of day, so build in extra minutes both at pickup and return.
Have your essentials ready
Keep your driver's license and payment method handy for a smooth start.
Message through your booking
If your flight is delayed or plans change, use your reservation to stay in touch.
Note where you park on return
