  • The Budget location at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is brand new and part of a renovation finished in 2023. There’s plenty of space to wait, and the area is clean and fresh. Also, all the signs leading to this Budget rental car center are easy to see and plentiful, so you won’t get lost in the airport or when you drop off the vehicle.
  • Because Budget car rentals at Newark Airport (EWR) are popular rental options, the line to collect your vehicle can be long.

Many of the vehicles include premium amenities such as Bluetooth connectivity and a backup camera. If you’re traveling with a large group of people, consider booking a standard or luxury SUV. The seats in these types of vehicles are larger than the ones found in compact SUVs, and you can fit more luggage in the back.

  • If I’m traveling into New York City for business, which car should I rent at Budget car rentals at Newark Airport?

    If you’re traveling into or planning on spending any time in the city, we recommend booking a small vehicle like a compact car or a mini. The street parking in New York City is notoriously scarce and the spots can be very small. Similarly, many of the garages are geared towards compact cars so you’ll reduce your stress level by picking a smaller vehicle. However, if you must book a large car due to the number of people in your party, be prepared to pay extra for parking or be confident in your parallel parking skills.

Girl who rented me the car was not very friendly or helpful with my questions. My impression of her was she was not happy to be there and listen to anyone. I rented from Newark Airport office a little after 5am Wednesday 09.18.24. The car was not what I wanted to rent and the first one had a check engine light on and needed to get a replacement.Reviewed Sep 22 2024

Line was so long (about an hour), car wreaked like smoke. It also has a cracked windshield, a dent, and multiple marks on the exterior. Only good thing was the Avis girl who helped us at the counter.Reviewed Aug 8 2024
