KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in New York

  • There are several toll roads and bridges in New York. I-87, I-90, and the New York Thruway in Upstate New York are tolled. You’ll pay a toll for all tunnels and bridges from New Jersey to Manhattan. Most bridges and tunnels in New York will need you to pay a toll fee. However, bridges like Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queensborough, and Williamsburg are toll-free. The toll payments are in cash for most of the tunnels and bridges. However, cash payments do not apply for tolls on the Bayonne Bridge and Outerbridge Crossing.
  • Several highways connect New York City to New York state. Learn about these routes and navigate cheap car rentals in New York smoothly throughout New York State. The main motorway serving all boroughs in New York is Interstate 278. It also connects New York to New Jersey. The Long Island Expressway is the route from midtown Manhattan to the east of Long Island. The road connecting most parts of the city is 7th Avenue. It starts from Greenwich Village to Central Park and runs through Times Square and Midtown.
  • The drive from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to lower Manhattan takes approximately 30 minutes. The distance is about 18 miles. From the rental parking lot, head to the Cargo Service Road. Continue for a few minutes, then take a right to N Service Road. Join the slip road by taking the first exit on N Service Road. Then, turn onto I-678 N and continue driving for about seven miles. Join I-395 W by taking exit 12B. At exit 17 W, use the right two lanes, then join I-278 W for another about four miles. Take exit 29 and follow the road signs heading to Brooklyn Bridge. Take the second exit to make a right turn onto the bridge, which leads straight to lower Manhattan.
  • One of the major advantages of renting a car in New York City is that it makes the outlying boroughs much more accessible. For instance, places like Rockaway Beach in Queens, Red Hook in Brooklyn, and City Island in the Bronx are all much easier to reach via car than by public transportation.
  • For travelers with flights landing at LaGuardia Airport, all rental shuttles pick up and drop off from in front of Terminal A of the airport. As for JFK International Airport, rental car desks can be found on the Arrivals level of each terminal. At Newark International Airport, the car rental desks are found in Stations P2 and P3 on the AirTrain.
  • Rush hour is an undeniable part of life in New York City. However, that doesn’t mean it can’t be mitigated. Typically morning the busy morning traffic lasts from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., while the afternoon and evening traffic is usually from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Drivers should take care, though, that those are the busiest times, but often rush hour can start even earlier in the morning and last even later at night. Some of the main areas to avoid during rush hour include the Lincoln Tunnel and the Brooklyn Bridge.
  • Biking is very popular in New York City and drivers should remain careful and aware of the bikers around them. Make sure to always check your mirrors when turning right and when opening a door, as you never know when a biker could pop up behind you.

Rent from the car agency directly. Don't use 3rd party "discount" sites. They'll end up costing you more.
BillOct 2023
If you rent a car at JFK or La Guardia from Avis make sure to check that they're is a FULL TANK of GAS in the car & make sure to check that there is no damage to the car you're renting. I've rented a few cars from Avis in Poughkeepsie, NY and the service there is friendly & good. Never a problem. Only in the large cities of NY you'll usually have some type of problem.
Verified travelerSep 2023
If you're driving in New York make sure you check "Allow Tolls" on your GPS navigation app otherwise you may see a lot more of Manhattan than you may have intended.

Dirty parking lot, 35 minutes waiting time to pick up a reserved car with one person ahead in line and 3 people behind me who showed up after me. Have fastbreak registration which didn’t do me any good, less of what budget promises. Was told no car available for me because I showed up 75 minutes before reservation time (10:00), yet there were about 40 cars on the lot. Fazit: one too many of more recent entitled budget disappointments, will not consider this agency again no matter what their price offer is. Too many stupid sounding addons no one wants nor needs that are 500% overpriced in addition.

I have gotten good fares w Budget with the option for free cancellation. Sadly, there are never enough Budget reps to process customers. I usually have to wait at least 30 minutes in line to get my car. SADLY, my experience is EVERY budget car smells like smoke.

When we got to the car rental place they said there wasn't any cars, we explained that we booked through Expedia and the last was very rude to us. We then booked through hertz and had brilliant customer service and a lovely car. I'd highly recommend Hertz and will be avoiding dollar.

Terrible. First car they gave me had a touchscreen that was broken which resulted in everything moving / adjusting constantly and changing on its own making driving it a virtual guarantee to be in an accident. They replaced it with an EV for a one way trip to Buffalo which was a 385 mile trip. I nearly froze to death waiting for a the car to charge in the middle of nowhere at 4am and had to constantly find slow chargers to make it another 30 miles. A typical 6-7 hour drive turned into a 14 hour one. I am now sick and my holiday is ruined.

They tried to give me an electric vehicle. I was making a 5.5 hour drive and was not prepared for the logistics of a EV (where to find reliable list of locations for chargers, etc) and therefore was forced to pay to 'upgrade' because they had no other cars in the class I purchased. That's their problem, not mine, but i was forced to pay anyway.

After arriving at the facility with a Lyft for our pre booked rental we then had the hassle that due to fact they have now only have chip pin payment and my chip was not working on my credit card and company policy is they won’t accept debit card, nor would they let anyone in the party pay the “refundable deposit” they just say there with blank looks on their faces saying there was nothing they could do, we were about to drive from NY to Florida, so luckily for us Budget was only a few blocks away and they as always went out of their way to help us get on our 10 day road trip ! Nice to see good old American Customer Service is still alive at Budget as Alamo sucks with theirs!!

The service at JFK getting the car was good. I picked the car up around 9:30 PM & had a 90 drive to my house. As I left the parking lot of AVIS at JFK & got on the parkway heading north to my home I noticed that there wasn't a FULL TANK OF GAS in the car. I had less than ¼ Tank of gas in the AVIS Rental Car. I then had to try to find a gas station that was opened after 10 PM. The WARNING LIGHT came on the dash board letting me know that I would probably run out of gas before I arrived to my home. I luckily found a gas station that was opened off the parkway & put more gas in the car then I originally got at the JFK AVIS location. This should never have happened. I should have had a FULL TANK of GAS when I left the AVIS location at JFK & I should be reimbursed for this rental or my next one on Nov. 20th at Westchester (White Plains).Reservation # 23531515USO

I was overcharged at the drop-off. I was in a hurry and I didn’t realize it. Last time I’m using Sixt.

Terrible. They didn’t have a car on the category I booked, and technically gave me an “upgrade” to a Van which did not meet my needs. So I had to pay another $60 for an actual upgrade so I could get another car, which on the receipt ended up being $120 dollars. I will never use Sixt again and would never recommend them to someone else.

The people were friendly and helpful but they do try to upsell (eg electronic toll pass, extra insurance coverage). When driving to exit or enter the vehicle storage area, there isn't much room to maneuver and there are some tight turns.

At the time of car pick up, it looked like a bird egg fell out of a nest and was stuck to the top of the car roof. Scraping it off the car (with a partially formed bird inside) was not pleasant.

The price was very affordable. Both drivers that picked me up or dropped me in lga were very nice and friendly.

Cons:

The ladies at the desk were disasters. They were busy playing with each other instead of assisting customers. I had to reminder them many time that I had to go. The lady that help helped to me said I had to upgrade because my car size was not available even though reserved ahead of time. Which I declined but she charged me aways for the upgrade. I spent over 30 mins to get my rental.

The ease of getting checked out and into my vehicle. I didn't like the fees and insurance arrangements that were disclosed at the last minute before agreeing to the rental. They also did not have the car I reserved for (which I understood might be different), and it appeared to be an effort to push me into a more expensive upgrade which they did.

NEVER AGAIN NEVER!!!! The employee at the counter is just the beginning of the worst rental experience you can ever imagine. I was forced to buy insurance even though my credit card provide coverage in case of an issue with any rental car. Then I was requested flight information even though, as a student, I am allowed to stay in the country without having a flight back; they make you feel uncomfortable. Finally, the worst is yet to come. We had a nail puncture, and they charged us 200$ for a tire replacement without any explanation when a fix would have cost 60$; to finish up the bill, they had mistakenly doubled the tax and fee.

I would have appreciated more transparency around the eventual cost of the vehicle. I was initially quoted $290 when I reserved it, and was told that would be the amount when I picked it up. Alas, I was presented with a daily "Geo Zone" fee— something I wasn't notified of when renting the car. I dropped the car off after requesting an additional day (I tried to do so at pick-up, but was told I'd have to call to extend), and was charged a total of $457. Additionally, I thought I would be renting the car from ACE, a company I've heard of, but was surprised to learn that I'd actually be renting it from Drivo (a company I've never heard of). I was also told I could receive $25 back, if I submitted a Google review, prior to even leaving the lot with the car The lack of transparency made me very uncomfortable. In the future, I'll stick to (albeit sometimes pricey) companies I know, like Hertz.

Renting a car and driving in New York City

A comprehensive guide to renting a car and driving in New York City

While navigating in New York City can be intimidating, renting a car can allow you to explore beyond the subway or public transportation confines. However, before you hit the road, there are some essential things you need to know.

Laura Ratliff
juin 12, 2023

New York City is on everyone’s travel bucket list. However, getting around the city can be challenging, with crowded public transport and constant traffic jams. Renting a car in New York City can provide a convenient and comfortable way to navigate the city’s five boroughs - and beyond. But with the fast-paced lifestyle and busy streets, driving in the city can be daunting for first-time visitors. Knowing the various regulations, requirements, and challenges of driving in the city is essential. Here’s how to ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience in the city that never sleeps.

What to know before renting a car in New York

Before renting a car in New York City, you must have a valid driver’s license from your home country or state. You may need an international driver’s license and your home country’s license if you are an international visitor. Most car rental agencies require drivers to be at least 21, but some may have a minimum age requirement of 25. You will also need a credit card for the rental deposit and insurance purposes.

The best type of car to rent in New York City

New York City has various car rental options, from economy cars to luxury SUVs. However, due to the city’s narrow streets and limited parking spaces, renting a compact or mid-size vehicle is recommended for easy maneuvering.

Where to get a rental car in New York City

Major car rental agencies have multiple locations throughout New York City, with the most extensive selection available at the city’s airports. If you arrive at one of the city’s airports (JFK, EWR, LGA) you can easily find the rental car offices in or near the terminal. Most rental agencies offer shuttle services to transport customers to their rental location if it is not within walking distance. However, at JFK, you can take the AirTrain to Federal Circle, where all major rental car companies have lots. When returning the car, check with the rental agency for the specific drop-off location and operating hours.

Driving outside of New York City

Renting a car in New York City and driving to neighboring states or outside the country is possible. However, you must check with your rental agency for additional restrictions or paperwork. For example, if you plan to drive to Canada, you may need additional documentation, such as a Canadian Non-Resident Insurance Card.

Most rental agencies offer additional insurance coverage for an extra fee. It’s important to review the insurance options carefully and choose a policy that suits your needs.

Some credit cards also provide rental car insurance, so check your credit card policy before purchasing additional insurance from the rental agency.
