If you are going to drive around for some errands a small vehicle should be more than enough. However, make sure you have and keep with you at all times ALL the necessary documents to provide at the rental location as well as outside the rental location, if the need suddenly arises.
PatOct 2024
Get there earlier than your time do you can hopefully get one of the first vehicles that show up. Call and get verbal direction to the location. Do not depend on GPS or your Uber driver.
Verified travelerSep 2024
Make sure you ask questions about payment options.
Verified travelerAug 2024
Mid size SUV was perfect for small family. Getting in and out early in the AM was helpful, not much traffic.
ElioJul 2024
Be aware of the times it takes to go via immigration at JFK and customs as this will drag out and then the office may be closed if late night arrival.
Verified travelerJul 2024
Try to rent a car with GPS. There should be more info. On line to speed up the pick up process .

I like something thatis a little taller then a car, but not to long. Parking is no joke, use a parking to help find locations and good price. Driving here is insane so just be alert!
RichardFeb 2024
A little far from airport but enterprise customer service beats other services I’ve used so far. Could have been a one off with the guy at the desk but typically don’t have great encounters.

Driving in NY can always be a challenge but following GPS apps does save time. Best to have a real person as a navigator to assist !
Verified travelerJan 2024
Easy pickup and drop off!
Verified travelerFeb 2024
call and get Fastrack membership or book early in morning or book the rental 2 hours after your flight bc you will have to wait 90 mins at least i mean they have the best prices compared to enterprise or national all rental cars is worth renting from them.
JackFeb 2024
Even though dropping off the rental took less than 5 mins, ensure you budget no less than 30 mins from returning the car to take the airtrain back to your terminal for check-in
Verified travelerDec 2023
During rush hour the traffic is terrible. It eases a bit around 10 am.
Verified travelerDec 2023
It’s mad, take your time and just steady away and give plenty of indication

Better to take mass transit if you can
OrielDec 2023
To be very careful very busy city
Verified travelerDec 2023
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.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Used the shuttle from the airport was good driving back to the offsite location was fine also-just know it’s city driving and narrow streets.
CarenSep 2023
Book via QEEQ as it was cheaper

As a New Yorker and a New Yorker that drives regularly, I'd just say to be safe, pay attention, and leave early!

Let the staff know that you travel by air the same day that you pick-up the car & show your boarding pass.
AlexJul 2023
Just stay alert and aware. You can't really drive that fast in NYC anyways. Keep your eyes out for pedestrians and bikes.
VanessaJun 2023
If late night arrival make reservations with multiple agencies (free cancellation) and find which one actually has cars when you get there.
RenieJul 2023
Don’t rent a car in the city! We only rented to get away to Long Island and Upstate.
HarshaJun 2023
Remember you have to take the air train to the car rental station to reach the hub.
FréderiqueAug 2023
Go with one of the know brands (Hertz, Avis, etc.) which is a much safer bet...

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

  • 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 hire shuttles pick up and drop off from in front of Terminal A of the airport. As for JFK International Airport, hire car desks can be found on the Arrivals level of each terminal. At Newark International Airport, the car hire 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.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in New York for ₱1,817 or less
  • Book your rental car in New York at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

It was a fantastic experience - they first gave me a free upgrade, but wasn't the car I wanted, so they went to another shop to get what I needed. Later, I needed to extend my booking and they responded at 7am! No hassle, and everything was taken care of.

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!!

We were charged a different price than quoted (though the estimate hasn't been confirmed yet). We also were told we were required to pay for EzPass through the rental car and that there were high fees charged for it, but this seems incorrect, as Toll By Mail seems available on all roads via an easy online form.
