Cheap car rentals in Queens
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Queens
- Traffic fines in Queens, NY, often range from $90 to $600, depending on the severity. If you’re caught driving less than 10 miles above the set limit, you’ll be fined between $90 and $150. On the other hand, if you’re caught driving at a speed over the set limit by about 30 miles, you’ll be charged about $300. That’s not all. Once caught, you will also have to pay $88 as a mandatory state surcharge. As these fines are pretty hefty, while driving your preferred cheap rental car in Queens, it’s in your best interest to follow the set limits.
- With a rental car from one of the cheap car rentals in Queens, you’ll be able to easily drive to several superb destinations that are a bit distant from this part of New York. Mohonk Preserve is one of these destinations. Home to over 8000 acres of forests, streams, ponds, and cliffs, this destination is just over 90 miles (144km) away from Queens. To get to this scenic town, you’ll only drive for 2h. Phoenicia is another fabulous destination you can drive to. Situated 131 miles (211km) away from the Queens, this town boasts creek rapids, superb restaurants, and a number of bars. You’ll take 3h to drive to this destination. Alternatively, with a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Queens, you can drive for just an hour to Cold Springs. Not more than 59 miles (95km) away from Cold Springs, this town features lush landscapes and peaks.
- If you’d like to rent a car once from a reliable Queens car rental you descend from your train in the neighborhood, you should board a train that stops at Jamaica Queens Train Station. This is because, at this train station, you’ll easily get to several nearby Enterprise locations and one All Car Rent-A-Car location. As these car rentals are a short distance to the station, you can walk to your preferred one.
- Jaywalking, especially in residential areas, is very common throughout Queens. If you are in a residential area on a one or two-lane road, then it is even more likely to happen. Make sure you keep your eyes on road and you stay vigilant for any would-be jaywalkers that may pop out in front of you.
- Planning on picking up a rental car before heading to Queens? If your flight is to JFK International Airport, the rental desks are located on the Arrivals level in each terminal. Flying into Newark Airport instead? In that case, you will find the rental car desks at Stations P2 and P3 on the AirTrain. As for LaGuardia Airport, the rental car center is located just off-site but there are shuttles in front of Terminal A to take passengers to passengers there.
- Keep your eyes open for taxi drivers and stay out of their way. They are fearless drivers and will cross 3 or even 4 lanes of traffic if necessary. The easiest option is the path of least resistance, so simply let them drive around you and do their thing.
- Queens, like much of New York City, experiences a daily rush hour. Drivers can typically expect the morning rush hour to pick up at around 7:00 a.m. and run until 9:00 a.m., while the afternoon rush hour starts at around 4:00 p.m. and goes to 7:00 p.m. In general, the Grand Central Parkway during rush hour is one of the roads hit by congestion, so drivers are advised to avoid it if possible.

- Book your rental car in Queens at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Premium rental cars in Queens are around 78% cheaper than other car types, on average

Gina, Feb 2021
Pros:
Clerk was helpful until I noticed a mistake in the booking and then she said she had no way to correct it.Cons:
I had booked a one way car rental for La Guardia with a Drop off at Logan airport. When I called to ask if I could pick up the car a day earlier the customer service rep, said "yes" and also that I would save $25 . When I got there the clerk told me that the reservation said I was returning it to LaGuardia. I said that wasn't what I had told the clerk and she refused to honor the lower rate and if that wasn't enough she would't even give me the original price but said now I'd have to pay $80 more than my original reservation. I walked out and got another car from Thrifty. They made the mistake and they should have honored the price quoted. At least the original price, so I. don't think I will book with Enterprise again.Alamo

The shuttle from rental place to terminal took over 40 mins from return time to finally having a bus to take us to terminal. About 4 folks including myself missed out flights.

Corley, Nov 2020
Pros:
I had to call both Lynchburg and Queens National locations prior to pickup, and though my issue was not able to be resolved ahead of time, Cody in Lynchburg and Elena in Queens were extremely courteous and helpful. At the time of pickup, the counter staff was helpful and my pickup was smooth. The gate associate was personable and helpful as well.4.0 Mediocre
Yvonna, Sep 2020
Pros:
The staff at the National pickup in Queens gave us the wrong information about adding another person. They insisted that my travel partner was not covered on the insurance and were very dismissive and unhelpful about how we could resolve the issue. Upon going to another National car service location at Newark airport (far out of our way to our travel destination) we finally received some helpful advice from the clerk there. I was very upset that the National Car service location in queens was not more informed on the issue and helpful. It seemed like they just wanted to clock out and didn't care about nay type of customer service. I WILL NOT be renting from National againCons:
