KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Beacon

  • Car rentals in Beacon, NY offer several advantages. First of all, they give you flexibility in your trip and a way to explore the scenic Hudson Valley at your own pace. You’ll find a variety of vehicle options, from compact cars to SUVs, to suit your individual needs. Beacon is a small town with no public transportation options, so you will need a car if you plan to explore the nearby Hudson Highlands State Park. Many Beacon car rentals will even offer vehicle pick-ups and drop-offs for ultimate convenience during your trip.
  • The nearest major airport to Beacon, NY is Stewart International Airport (SWF), about 15 miles south of the city. Beacon car rentals can be found at this airport through several agencies, like Avis and Budget. The rental desks are located on the main level across from the baggage claim area. The next closest airport is Westchester County Airport (HPN), about 45 miles southeast of Beacon. Here you will find six major car rental companies directly in the arrivals hall of the main terminal. The pick-up lots are conveniently located next to the terminal.
  • To fully enjoy your car rental in Beacon, remember some of these tips. Stay alert for one-way streets and pedestrians in the town center. The weather in the Hudson Valley can be unpredictable, so adapt your driving to rain or snow. If you plan to use GPS, ensure it's up-to-date to avoid confusion. Enjoy the scenic routes, like Route 9D, but drive with caution along the winding roads. You will likely encounter toll roads driving in this area, so check with your rental agency to learn about their policy for this. Some companies provide an EZ Pass, which will automatically charge the tolls, which they will add to your bill later.
  • Driving in Beacon may come with some challenges. The narrow streets in the heart of town can be difficult to maneuver in a larger vehicle. Additionally, you will need to be aware of pedestrians and bikers on the road. The parking spaces in town tend to be small, so use caution in the lots and on the street. Winter weather brings snow and ice, making road conditions slippery. If you plan to explore the greater Hudson Valley area, you may encounter some hilly, narrow roads, so drive carefully. Rural roads have fewer amenities, so plan appropriately for fuel.

These vehicle types offer easier navigation through tight spots and provide better access to limited parking spaces. Also, considering the Hudson Valley's diverse terrain, a car with good handling and stability, along with reliable braking, is essential. Look for a vehicle with modern safety features, such as traction control and anti-lock brakes, to enhance your driving experience.

    In Beacon, NY, the speed limit can vary based on the type of road and location. Generally, the speed limit within the city is 30 mph on most streets unless otherwise posted. However, certain areas like school zones or residential neighborhoods might have lower speed limits, typically around 20 or 25 mph to ensure pedestrian safety. It's important to watch for speed limit signs and adjust your driving accordingly. Always stay alert to any posted speed limits and exercise caution, especially in areas with increased foot traffic.

  • Where are the best places to park in Beacon?

    In Beacon, some recommended parking options include the parking lots available in the downtown area, such as the lots on Main Street and near the train station.

I didn't realize the insurance I purchased on-line wasn't directly through AVIS so they pressured me into buying their insurance. They didn't clearly explain their "E-Toll" feature and they also charged me to refuel the vehicle even though I returned the car with a full tank of gas.
