KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ridgewood
- Using car rentals in Ridgewood in place of other transportation means has tons of benefits. Rental cars provide freedom and flexibility, allowing you to explore Ridgewood and surrounding areas at your own pace. With a rental car, you can easily access various attractions, parks, and shopping destinations. Renting a car eliminates reliance on public-transportation schedules and routes, giving you greater control over your travel plans. Renting a car can be cost-effective compared with other transportation options, especially if you plan to visit multiple locations or stay for an extended period. With Ridgewood car rentals, you can visit the Ridgewood Wild Duck Pond, the Ridgewood Art Institute, and the Saddle River County Park.
- When you visit Ridgewood, you’ll have three airport choices to fly to: Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). After you land at JFK, you can board the AirTrain to Station C/Federal Circle, where the car-rental counter is located. EWR's car-rental counter is conveniently positioned near station P3 and is accessible via AirTrain from Terminals A, B, or C. Upon arrival at LGA, shuttle services are available to transport you to Terminal A, where the car-rental desk is located.
- Driving car rentals in Ridgewood is a smooth experience, since the road infrastructure in Ridgewood is typically high quality. The driving culture in the city tends toward calm and composed, most drivers having patience and respecting traffic laws. The good news for rental-car drivers is that instances of jaywalking are infrequent, and pedestrians generally follow traffic signals and use designated crosswalks. Although bicycles are less prevalent than in larger urban environments, i.e., NYC, it's still wise to remain vigilant for their presence. The most commonly encountered vehicles are sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks.
- Driving car rentals in Ridgewood can present certain challenges, particularly during rush hour. The busiest times for traffic congestion are typically during the morning (7 am to 9 am) and afternoon (4 pm to 6 pm) work commute, with roads like Ridgewood Avenue, Godwin Avenue, and Highway 17 experiencing the heaviest traffic. It's smart to plan accordingly and allow extra time for your car trip during these peak hours. Winter seasons can bring snowy conditions, which may impact driving conditions. Being cautious and prepared for potentially icy roads during winter is key.

Pros:
When I returned the car in Paramus, everything was also quick and easy, and the associates gave excellent customer service. The best part: filling up my tank cost $12. When I returned my car less than full to Hertz, they charged me $10/gallon for the filling -- on TOP of the charge for the actual gas. Never again Hertz. Always Enterprise from now on!!Avis

Pros:
You couldn’t beat the price!!Cons:
The Checy Suburban I got had close to 40,000 miles on it usually when I Rent-A-Car it will have very very very little miles but this one had a rough 40,000. I don’t know if the truck was abused or if most Chevys run that way at 40,000 miles but for the price I paid I didn’t complain !2.8 Poor

Pros:
I got a working car to use while the weather is in the single digits and while my car is in the shop.Cons:
The manager David at the tiny, sketchy Avis location first blamed and disrespected me for “canceling” my reservation multiple times - I booked through the Kayak app and the guy wouldn’t let it go. Then, although I had my screen pulled up but not a print out, he wouldn’t honor the daily rate of 39.99. Then he told me he didn’t have the car I reserved so he was “forced” to upgrade me thus (apparently) rendering useless the insurance I purchased via Kayak/Hotwire. David then put my NEW contract on the screen for a total reservation time of 6 days when I had only reserved three, and the total was $572.00!!! I asked him to fix it and he refused saying he had already authorized my card and “everything would work out” if I brought the car back “early,” even though “early” in this case was the initially agreed upon rental period. He told me that the only contract he’d be writing for me was the one on the screen. I had him write on the digital copy that the contract was incorrect before I signed. I got my car, and the next day he CALLED me to tell me there were more charges being put on my bill and he just “didn’t want me to be surprised”. I was FURIOUS. I would have returned the car that minute if I had been able to. In all, I had to fight with this guy over every charge and I still wound up paying nearly $300 for my 3 day rental. I wanted to have a great experience booking through Kayak, but I got the WORST rental experience of my life.10.0 Wonderful

Telephones were not answered; kept calling and leaving messages during working hours. They explained later they were busy. One time a man answered and said I am with a customer, I will call back but never did This happened so many times that I was concerned about what kind of car I'd get or even if Id get a car. I cancelled through the 880 number and went to Enterprise. I paid more but got excellent serviceCar rental locations in or near Ridgewood
