KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bay Shore

  • If you visit New York, you can do very little without Bay Shore car rentals since the city boasts several iconic landmarks. Driving is the best way to explore these landmarks and other hidden gems nearby. Although you can use public transportation, it takes a while to get to your destinations. Besides, commuter trains and buses operate on fixed schedules. With car rentals in Bay Shore, you can visit several places, including Gardiner County Park, Sagtikos Manor, Bay Shore Historical Society, Great South Bay Brewery, and Islip Arts Council Gallery.
  • Islip Long Island Airport (ISP) is the nearest airport to Bay Shore, about 12 miles from the city center. However, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), about 34 miles away, also offers convenience. Car rental desks in JFK are at the arrivals level of all terminals. Travelers can reach the rental car facilities located at Federal Circle station on the AirTrain. If you land at ISP, the car rental desks are in the terminal building near the baggage claim area. The popular car rental agencies are Sunnycars, Easirent, Avis, Budget, and National.
  • Generally, driving your car rental in Bay Shore is easy and enjoyable due to well-established roads and less impatient drivers. Although locals typically abide by all the traffic regulations, you must still drive cautiously, especially on the city streets. The streets are brimming with people adventuring the city on foot. Be sure to pay close attention to avoid hitting them. Bikers use the same lane as motorists. While it is uncommon for them to overlook traffic regulations, drive carefully when approaching them.
  • Significant cities in New York experience dense traffic during rush hours, and Bay Shore is no exception. Bay Shore experiences heavy traffic during peak travel hours because several residents access the city center with vehicles. Again, the motorbikes and motorists jockey for position, leading to bumper-to-bumper traffic on major roads like NY 27A. Typically, rush hours in Bay Shore start from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Avoid driving car rentals on Bay Shore during peak travel times unless necessary.
