There’s a lot to take in when booking a hire car, so we make the process as simple as possible. We explain everything that’s included in your rental upfront, so you know exactly what you are getting for your money.
To help you decide who to rent with, we ask each customer to provide reviews of each car hire company and rate their overall rental experience — from the cleanliness and condition of the car to the speed of pick-up and drop-off. We do this so you get honest, impartial advice before you make your mind up.
There are plenty of cars for you to choose from, so no matter what kind of vehicle you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it on our site. To make your search even easier, you can filter the results to quickly find cars that are best-suited to your needs and preferences.
The mini, economy and compact cars are perfect for city driving (they are easy to drive and park), while the full-size cars offer more space. You will also find roomy SUVs, premium cars and 12-seater people carriers.
- Some of the car hire companies we work with have in-terminal pick-up counters, giving you the smoothest possible start to your holiday.
- You can drive from the airport to Downtown Manhattan in around 40 minutes.
- If you’re unfamiliar with the area, you might want to request a GPS to help with navigation.
- To avoid any unexpected fuel charges, many people book a car with a full-to-full fuel policy (simply fill up the tank just before the end of the rental and you won’t pay any extra fuel fees when you drop the car off).
- Book your hire car as far in advance as possible, as prices can increase. Once your booking is confirmed, the price is guaranteed.
- Don’t forget to consider how much luggage space you need — as well as how many people are in your party.
