Local History & Facts about Somerset

Somerset, Massachusetts, a town across the Taunton River from Fall River, boasts a rich history. In 1690, a ferry service connected Fall River and Somerset, fostering early transportation. Education became a priority, with the Avon Street School opening in 1835. The Slade's Ferry Bridge, completed in 1876, physically linked Fall River and Somerset, leading to the decommissioning of the ferry service. Somerset High School opened in 1885, followed by a new high school on County Street in 1937. In 2014, Somerset Berkley Regional High School opened. The Dynegy coal burning power plant at Brayton Point also stands as a major feature of the town. Today, Somerset retains its historic charm along the Taunton River.

Rental Policies & Rules in Massachusetts

When renting a car in Massachusetts, it's important to understand the insurance requirements. In Massachusetts, rental car companies are required to provide minimum liability coverage: $25,000 for bodily injury per person ($50,000 per accident) and $30,000 for property damage. While Massachusetts generally requires drivers to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance and personal injury protection (PIP), you can legally drive a rental car without this additional coverage.
