KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Passaic
- Car rentals in Passaic, NJ, can offer several advantages over relying on public transportation, depending on your travel needs and preferences. Public transportation networks might not cover all areas or destinations you want to visit. On the other hand, a rental car provides access to locations that might not be easily accessible via public transit, such as Norvin Green State Forest and Wawayanda State Park. Most importantly, a rental car provides privacy and comfort during travel. You can control the temperature, play your preferred music, and have a comfortable space for your journey.
- Visitors arriving in Passaic, New Jersey, by air will likely land at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), about 14 miles away. Suppose you intend to pick up your car rental as soon as you land. In that case, you will find various car rental companies with rental desks in or near the terminals. Popular brands operating here include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Alamo, Dollar, Car, and Thrifty. These car hire agencies are located at Station P3 of the AirTrain system.

Be mindful of crosswalks, especially near intersections, and always yield the right of way to pedestrians.
- Traffic congestion is more likely to occur during traditional peak commuting hours, usually in the mornings (7:00 am to 9:00 am) and evenings (between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm). These are when people commute to and from work, school, and other daily activities. Some streets that might experience heavier traffic include Route 21, Main Avenue, and local roads leading to major routes and highways.

Pros:
Manager was kind and apologetic when car wasn't ready at pickup time in Passaic. And he was extremely helpful when I returned the car. I will definitely be renting from Passaic again based on his excellent customer service.Cons:

Dec 2016
Pros:
Friendly staff. Affordable rate. Very easy to arrange. The only complaint I'd have is really not specific to Enterprise. I wish there were quoted prices for all the extras as well. Paying so much more for things like insurance is underhanded. I want to know the TOTAL cost for everything I specifically want (extra driver, etc.) BEFORE I book a reservation. Otherwise, it was a pleasant transaction.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing. Do not use this location, it's a scam.Cons:
Purchased insurance with rental online for $45 total. Upon arriving, the had no cars ready, drove us 20 minutes out of the way to another location, then said they don't except the insurance I paid for and that I lost that $45. Then told me they charge $45 per day for insurance!! In all we paid $415 for what was sold online for $130. DISGUSTING PEOPLE.Hertz

Oct 2017
Pros:
We rented an SUV for a large family vacation 6 hrs drive up north. We got a call at 8pm the night before stating that the SUV wasn't available and someone made a mistake. They offered us a sedan instead. We told them this was unacceptable, we have a sedan, it's not big enough. Then they tried to get us to pay $15 more per day for a larger SUV and refused to work with us. Only after calling corporate did they start being accommodating. The next morning I called to make sure everything was in order and got told by the girl on the other line she wasn't sure this was going to work out. She had to talk to her regional manager to make sure it was ok. She would call me back. After this we called corporate and canceled the car. My wife called Enterprise and they gave us the exact car we originally requested, for almost the same price, within 30 mins.Cons:
Lack of communication, lack of courtesy, laziness, lack of work ethic, inexperienced personnel and attempted embezzlement of extra funds.4.4 Mediocre
Jan 2017
Cons:
We were given a Mustang because they ran out of vehicles. That may sound like a nice upgrade but not when you are driving across the country during winter. I then tried to swap vehicles once I made it to my destination like they promised me I could. To confirm this I spent 45 minutes on the phone and was assured they had ample vehicles. Again I was let down because they were unsure what to do and was stuck with the Mustang on the way back.2.0 Poor
