KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kearny

  • Kearny is a small city that lacks an extensive public transport system. Renting a car can, therefore, provide more flexibility in terms of where you can go and when you want to go there. Secondly, with Kearny car rentals, you can get to places faster, especially those that are outside of the city or in the suburbs. For instance, New York City is only ten miles away, and with a car, you can quickly get there and back on your terms, avoiding the high costs of taxis. Renting cheap car rentals in Kearny is also often more cost-effective than taking taxis or ride-shares, particularly if you need to travel with multiple people or over longer distances.
  • Newark Airport (EWR) is the closest airport where you can pick up Kearny car rentals as it is only 11 miles from Kearny. The rental car center at EWR is located just a few minutes away from the terminals. Travelers can take the AirTrain to the P3 Station, and then catch a shuttle bus to the rental car center. The rental car offices are located on the first floor. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is about 14 miles from Kearny. The rental car center at LaGuardia Airport is located on the airport property, but outside of the central terminal area. Travelers should take the shuttle bus that departs from each terminal to the rental car center.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Kearny requires some knowledge to ensure a safe and smooth driving experience. You should be mindful of pedestrians, especially in the residential areas and downtown. Jaywalking is common in Kearny, and some pedestrians may cross the street without looking both ways. It is recommended that drivers use extra caution and always be on the lookout for pedestrians. Moreover, Kearny has a lot of trucks and commercial vehicles on the road due to its industrial nature. Drivers must therefore be careful when sharing the road with large trucks and provide enough space for them to maneuver.
  • Rush hour in Kearny usually occurs between 7 am to 9 am and between 4 pm to 6 pm. Interstate 280 and Route 21 are the major highways that run through Kearny and connect travelers to the rest of the region. During the winter, you should be prepared for potential snow and ice on the roads. Heavy snow and ice storms may make driving cheap car rentals in Kearny more difficult and hazardous, particularly for those not used to driving in winter conditions. Drivers should exercise caution and prepare their vehicles accordingly with snow tires, chains, and an emergency kit.

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!

Cons:

First and foremost the location does not practice social distancing. The waiting area had the smell of cat urine. The car was given to me dirty and not properly cleaned, there were dirty marks and finger prints inside of the vehicle. The car was just dropped off and not disinfected. This is very disturbing especially in this time of Covid 19.

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.
