KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Newark

  • Newark, New Jersey is a short drive to many other states including New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. If you rent a car, you’ll be able to see so much more while on vacation. Spend a day or two in New York City then make a day trip to New Canaan, Connecticut to tour the Glass House or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for some casino fun.
  • Flying into Newark offers easy access to numerous cities including Trenton, Long Island, Hoboken, and New York City. At Newark Liberty International Airport you’ll find it easy to rent a car. Depending upon what company you use, you can get to the hire desk at Station P2 or P3.
  • During your stay, you’ll find yourself frequenting the New Jersey Turnpike to get to numerous destinations including Hackensack and Ridgefield Park. Nevertheless, the turnpike can get really busy. If traveling north on the turnpike, consider taking the I-295 instead. It will be less hectic and lets you avoid the tolls, plus you can also get back on the turnpike from here if needed.
  • Traffic in Newark can be quite heavy during the daily commute. Newark’s rush hour is most busy from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. During this time the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway become especially congested. Before you leave the hotel you should listen to the traffic report to learn about accidents or construction projects. Alternative routes are also suggested.
  • Book your rental car in Newark at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Newark are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

TimurOct 2024
If you don’t worry to save $20-40 so much, just rent from companies that are attached to the airport!
Verified travelerJul 2024
Ask about coverage area where you can drive and please read fine prints as no one will actually tell you about that unless you ask.
AshleyApr 2024
Definitely book a car in the airport. So much more seamless and a better experience.
Verified travelerDec 2023
Use a reputable company located at the airport, not Ace or Fox.
Verified travelerSep 2023
The best way to do it is reserve the vehicle beforehand and then make the the payment up on getting the vehicle as you never know if you flight gets delayed.

Driving in NJ was rough for this California gal. Google maps helped but there were several turns missed because the road signs didn't match the Google map. It really helps to have a co-pilot.

FAQs about renting a car in Newark

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Newark?

    Newark enjoys four distinct seasons – winter, spring, summer, and fall. So if you are visiting for the Christmas or New Year’s holiday, you might experience lots of snow. Therefore, an SUV might be best to get you through the snowy conditions. Other times of the year, a smart or compact car might be best when visiting Newark because of parking limitations. Simply put, a smaller car can more easily fit into a tight parking spot on the street.

  • What’s the speed limit in Newark?

    The speed limit is 65 mph on both the Garden State Parkway and the NJ Turnpike. However, if you are traveling through residential neighborhoods, New Jersey law requires that you slow down to 25-35 mph, depending upon the zoning. Around the downtown area the speed limit is 30 mph. Watch for signs to avoid getting a speeding ticket.

  • Where are the best places to park in Newark?

    Because downtown Newark can be so busy, parking can be difficult to find. If you know when you are going to be in the area, you can reserve your space in a parking garage or lot ahead of time. This can be done through a variety of mobile apps like SpotHero or Parking Panda.

Despite providing both Kayak and Sixt my flight arrival time into EWR, the Sixt rental counter desk was closed and I was unable to retrieve the car I had reserved and pre-paid. Fortunately, the other major rental car brand desks were open and I rented elsewhere. Thus far Sixt has resisted refunding their $400+ charge. Rent from Sixt in the US at your own risk.

Avoid at all costs! I received a scratched up car and was assured it was fine by the agents. I was not provided a paper receipt when requested and now Sixt is trying to hold me accountable for a smudge (not even a scratch) on the cover of a mirror. Garbage rental car company.

Girl who rented me the car was not very friendly or helpful with my questions. My impression of her was she was not happy to be there and listen to anyone. I rented from Newark Airport office a little after 5am Wednesday 09.18.24. The car was not what I wanted to rent and the first one had a check engine light on and needed to get a replacement.

I left my purse somewhere between the rental car return and the train so dashed back to trace my steps and met the nicest enterprise employee ever who quickly took me to the car to check, called his manager and then the manager called the train folks. Happy ending in that my purse was returned and we were able to catch our scheduled flight! It started with two very conscientious Enterprise employees. I failed to get their names but am sending them a high five!

Newark rental experience was awesome. Unfortunately my rental was supposed to be picked up at Laguardia airport, and the Hertz team from LaGuardia is about the most disrespectful you could have find anywhere in the USA. They forced me to get an Uber and made me go to Newark to pick up the rental over a technicality that I was not responsible for. I spent 3 hours in the whole process, and I experienced the worse level of customer service at an airport’s Hertz rental location there at LaGuardia. Needless to say, I’m not using Hertz car rental services ever again… Sincerely, Tony Zapata.

Cons:

I made the reservation and paid in advance, only to find when arriving at the counter that I’ve been placed on a Do not rent ban. The staff at the counter could not tell me why or help me any further and made me call a customer service line, where I waited for 20 minutes on hold. Since I was in a time crunch, I had to walk away and rent with a different service. Why did Hertz not flag my account when I paid for my reservation in advance, instead of wasting my time when I was already ready to pick up the car? Who knows. I still have not been able to get through to their specific phone line to figure out why my account has been blocked, after calling multiple times. I last rented with Hertz a few months ago, and never received any notice about my account being blocked.

2.0 Poor

Anonymous, Nov 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing. Hertz did not have an available car from me at the location my reservation time, even though I made AND PAID FOR the reservation in advance. The location not only ran out of cars hours before my reservation, but they did not think to even call me to tell me that they will not be able to honor my reservation. I had to commute almost two hours to reach the Hertz location. I only found out AFTER reaching the Hertz location that my reservation would not be honored. The location also refused to assist me with my dilemma. I am STILL actively trying to get my money back for a service they refused to provide.

Cons:

Confirm the location will have a car when a reservation is made in advance. I made the reservation over a week in advance. There is NO REASON AT ALL for Hertz to not have a car ready for me when I arrived.

I showed up. On time for my one day rental. They told me they had no cars but they would try to get me in a car some time today. No definite time, no alternatives. I waited an hour. Others had already waited two. I couldn't wait any more or I was going to miss my meetings. Had to cancel. Spent more than the rental amount on cabs getting there and back and was late for everything. One woman was helpful with a refund, but beyond that about as bad a service as you could possibly imagine.

Pros:

Nice car but not enough explanation on how to operate the features of the car.

Cons:

Getting to the rental location was difficult, no clear direction on where and how to get a pick up. Everything is on an app. and that is a pain if you phone is no working well.

Cons:

Please ensure that u add additional time to your booking in the beginning itself. They charged me for 2 whole additional days for returning the car about 3 hours late. Also, the Audi Q3 is not the best option for a long drive. The car hydroplaned massively on wet road conditions in upstate NY. Seat quality and ride quality left a whole lot to be desired. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed. Wouldn’t be recommending.

The gas tank was not filled all the way and when I pointed it out to the attendant he claimed that it was…. It was a little more than 3/4 full and he didn’t want to deal with it. Will not be using this company again.

Pros:

Their customer service was really very good. Unfortunately they had no cars to honour the booking. They did try to help and we're very willing to do so. But there were no cars.

Cons:

Have more cars.

Carlos, Jan 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Good rate, good car

Cons:

There needs to be proactive communication from the operator of that Fox franchise that you have to call for a shuttle pickup. It is not automatic. It is only "on demand". Also the franchisee (Drivo Rent a Car) demands you present proof insurance info at time of rental or no dice! IN addition, their system is not tied into Fox's loyalty program so they can pull up rental preferences, etc.

Pros:

Staff was helpful. Service was good.

Cons:

The site advertised them as being at the airport but I had to wait 45 minutes for a shuttle to take me off site to the rental company.

Pros:

The car was not bad

Cons:

It was like renting a car in a third world country The staff spent all of its energy telling me what i had not done right online.short brisk answers to all questions not people you want working with the public.There are a lot of charges on the final bill that are not stated prior.Bottom line rent a car at the airport from nationally known agencies.never again

This was a bad experience. I booked the car through kayak. The company text me the day after for my personal information to expedite my checkout. The day of pickup they told me they need to do a soft credit check because I live in New Jersey. You knew that yesterday when I responded to the text. So my frozen credit can't rent a 7 passenger mini van. Not like a email or text with the policy could have prevented that. I could have unfrozen my credit 24hr before but it's ok grandma and grandpa can ride in the trunk or roof of my car. If I was from Russia I could have rented it an put in a container and been back home before the next shift started. Just another business with great customer service. Thanks for saving me $600

They just want to make extra money wherever they can from customers by charging for late drop off though when we picked up car we asked about return time. Very unprofessional. Never rent another vehicle from there and we told same thing to friends and family too.

Bait and switch in more ways than one. It wasn’t Ace, it turned out to be operated by Drivo (who I would not have booked with if that was made clear). Drivo forced me to purchase additional insurance at pick-up that other rental providers have never required because I already have insurance. I am extremely disappointed in Kayak for misleading me on who I was booking with, disappointed in Ace for letting Drivo operate under their banner, and disappointed with Drivo for forcing me to pay an additional $119.96 in surprise costs at pick-up when I had already declined additional insurance when booking (because I already have insurance).

Your credit card requirements are ridiculous. If you want this stupid system, have a way to check the credit card before the customer shows up. Requiring credit cards that have chips with the person's name who booked the car is strange. It cost us money, time and anxiety. Will ensure to not book work you or Hertz again.
