The wide, open road is calling your name, and Boardman is a terrific base to kick-start your journey. Situated 6 miles from the downtown area, the first thing you’ll need is the key to one of our top-notch rental cars. An SUV will take you around Youngstown in true comfort and style — or you might want to venture off the beaten path and explore hidden gems with a four-wheel drive. For effortless city driving, we’d recommend renting an economy car. They won’t be as spacious, but they’ll be wonderful at gliding into those tiny parking lots.
