KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lakewood
- Getting a car rental in Lakewood is a great choice if you want to thoroughly explore the city's key attractions. With a rental, you can tour all of the top sights on your itinerary in the allotted time, as you can drive directly from one attraction to another. Some of the top attractions you can easily drive to include the New Jersey Museum of Transportation; Allaire State Park, a huge park with antique trails; Ocean County Park, a spacious green park with biking trails; and the Manasquan Reservoir. Outside of town, you can drive a short distance to Lake Carasaljo, a popular recreational lake, and Lake Shenandoah County Park, a major trout fishing lake with a sports complex.
- When flying into Lakewood, you can land at either Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). If you prefer to arrive at TTN, there is an offsite car rental center just a few yards away. The center's yellow and bright blue colors make it stand out, and it is home to several rental agencies, including Enterprise, Hertz, and Avis. If you choose EWR, all rental agency counters are in station P3, which can be accessed from all terminals by the AirTrain train. The attendants at your preferred car rental counter will direct you to where you will pick up your Lakewood car rental.
- The roadways in Lakewood are sufficiently broad, with adequate signage and pedestrian walkways. Therefore, you can anticipate a pleasant driving experience while driving your car rental in Lakewood. However, significant caution is still required when driving in densely populated places, as few pedestrians choose to jaywalk, particularly in areas near restaurants. It is also important to know that you will use the New Jersey Turnpike a lot during your stay to get to different places. If your destination necessitates going north on the turnpike, consider taking the I-295 instead. This way, you'll encounter less traffic and avoid tolls.
- Even though driving in Lakewood is pretty simple, the city experiences slight congestion during rush hour. This rush hour mostly impacts main routes coming into and out of the city between 7 am and 9 am in the morning and 5:30 pm to 7 pm. in the evening. It is best to avoid or reduce driving during these times and instead rely on a dependable public transportation system as a feasible alternative. However, if you must drive, listen to the traffic report before leaving your accommodation to learn about the traffic conditions and use alternative routes.
