• 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.

On one of the busiest holiday weekends (12/27), at one of the busiest airports in the nation (Newarl) there were 12 desks available to help Budget customers, and only one of them was staffed with a human being. The wait to pick up the rental car was 2 hours. Never again, Budget.Reviewed Jan 2 2026

We fly standby since my husband works for an airline. We knew we would have to drive back to Ma from Newark airport since flights were full. I made my reservation from s.america online with perfect ease. Car was ready once right away. Perfect timing , excellent service!Reviewed Jan 1 2026

I waited in line at the budget counter for 2 hours and 5 minutes just to get my car. There was only one agent at the counter for most of the time, a second agent helped out for a few minutes I missed my appointment due to the unorganized nature of the budget counter and will NEVER RENT FROM BUDGET AGAIN. They do not care about their customers or employees for that matter. Worst rental car experience I’ve ever hadReviewed Jun 25 2025
