KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Brooklyn
Nothing screams New York like rush hour. And while Brooklyn may not experience as severe of traffic as Manhattan, it still retains a spot on the list of worst rush hours. In general, morning rush hour goes from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., while the evening rush hour picks up around 4:00 p.m. and lasts till 7:00 p.m. Drivers should note that the roads neighboring the Brooklyn Bridge are, in particular, some of the worst areas affected by rush hour traffic.
Brooklyn and nearby cities offer gorgeous and peaceful locations for scenic drives that you can conveniently explore with Brooklyn car rentals. The Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers the most breathtaking scenic drives in Brooklyn. It is accessible with a rental car, taking less than an hour drive. Take about a 3-hour drive to Tivoli to enjoy the enchanting views of the Hudson River and its tranquillity. The drive to Fire Island in Long Island is just under an hour from Brooklyn. It has beautiful dunes and beaches. Alternatively, take a longer 6-hour drive to Lake Placid. Rent an all-wheel drive if heading to Lake Placid, as this vehicle will enable you to tackle the nation’s largest trail system in the Adirondack Mountains.
Brooklyn is one of the most populated areas in New York and it is especially popular for younger demographics. As a consequence of this, biking is a very prominent mode of transportation in the borough. Drivers should make sure that they keep their eyes open for any bikers on the road, particularly when parking and opening their doors.
Love to visit obscure and off-the-beaten-path spots and locales? The best way to get to spots like that in Brooklyn is undoubtedly with a car. For instance, Red Hook, Canarsie Park, and Manhattan Beach are just some of the areas in Brooklyn that are easily reached by car but can be a laborious process to get to otherwise.
Looking to pick up a rental car for your time in Brooklyn? If you are landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), the rental car counters are on the Arrivals level in each terminal near the baggage carousel. At LaGuardia Airport (LGA), shuttles are available in front of Terminal A to take passengers to the rental car center. As for Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), travelers will find rental car counters at Stations P2 and P3 on the AirTrain.
Getting around Brooklyn is easy once you know its grid layout. Streets are from east to west, and avenues run from north to south. Avenues are numbered from one to 28, while the streets are from one to 101. For instance, the street grid begins south of Garfield Place in Park Slope as 1st street. It ends north of Shore Road in Bay Ridge as 101st street. However, like in every borough in New York, some streets don’t conform to this layout. Choose a GPS for cheap car rentals in Brooklyn and swiftly find your way around.
Adhere to Brooklyn’s driving laws to escape fines and charges. Yield to pedestrians or cyclists on Brooklyn roads to prevent accidents. Brooklyn is a big Tow Away Zone so avoid parking illegally and ensure your rental is up to date with inspection stickers and registration. Failure to meet this leads to the towing of your vehicle. Children below six years should be in the rear seat and secured to a booster seat. Other occupants should also have seatbelts strapped on when the vehicle is moving. Avoid stopping your rental car in Brooklyn at intersections if you cannot clear it before the traffic light turns red. Always leave enough space between your vehicle and the one in front of you at the intersection.

FAQs about renting a car in Brooklyn
What type of car is recommended for driving in Brooklyn?
Compact cars are the best choice for most vacationers visiting Brooklyn, particularly if you plan on exploring the roads yourself. One-way streets and narrow alleys are typical in Brooklyn and are difficult to navigate in a large vehicle. Streetside parking is also very difficult to find in the most popular parts of Brooklyn, so it pays to have a smaller vehicle that can fit in any spot available.
What’s the speed limit in Brooklyn?
For the most part, the speed limit in Brooklyn is 25 mph, as that is the baseline speed limit in all of NYC unless signage says otherwise.

Where are the best places to park in Brooklyn?
Parking in Brooklyn, while not as expensive as it is in neighboring Manhattan, can cost a pretty penny and at times can be difficult to find. In general, it pays to stick to garage parking, as that is the most readily available option in Brooklyn. Streetside parallel parking is also available, but at variable rates, and it is largely dependent on the popularity of the immediate area. On a positive note, though, streetside parking is almost always free for everybody unless specific signage says otherwise or meters are present.

Had to wait in line for two hours to get the car due to Hertz management and operational failures. Cars were not cleaned as they were delivered to the location by Hertz late (typically Hertz drops off the night before, but in this case they were dropped off the same morning). Further, only two employees were working when typical staff is 3-4 people (the manager stated that they knew they had over 40 reservations to fill that morning). Apparently Hertz management fired two people at the location earlier in the week without having substitute staff ready. Despite having booked two weeks in advance (and having pre-paid) my ordered car type was not available. The manager at the location refused any sort of compensation for Hertz's multiple failures on management and operational levels. Syrupy sweet words do not cover mismanagement and the cost in time that I incurred. Enterprise has been a better outfit on every occasion. It is no accident that the stock is near all-time lows, they have serious problems at Hertz.
Staff was excellent, car was clean and comfortable.

They rented my car to someone else and had to scramble to find a suitable replacement. They eventually rented me a much nicer car at the same price and threw in gas. It was a suitable solution but we got on the road much later than we had planned.
I never been to a car rental place that checks your credit when i'm paying up front. Deny me a rental because of bad credit. I'm spreading the word never deal with ACE. I'VE BEEN TO OVER A HUNDRED CAR.RENTALS, NO ONE EVER DIDCA CREDIT CHECK. IM PAYING UP FRONT. ACE IS THE WORSE.

Nothing as a black man I was subject to racism at the highest. After my conformation on line with the same credit card and license I used two days earlier at JFK they ran my credit again and doubled the price of my rental so I didn't get the car any more I have been renting since the eighty's this was my worse experience ever.
Very bad experience. 1.5 hour wait at pickup because staff was on break (not mentioned in opening hours). Very dirty car at pickup : crumbs everywhere and food smeared on dashboard

Absolutely the worst!! It took over 2 hours in line in a dark underground parking lot in 90 degree heat to get the car and I was informed this wasn't out of the ordinary. My 1 year old and I had to go down 3 more levels into an even darker corner of the lot to actually get the car. We waited here for another 20 mins. Completely awful experience! No grade is worthy for this experience other than an "F"

The directions to pickup and drop off the car were confusing and the signage in the garage was poor. The check in process was slow, though I wisely arrived very early and didn't have to wait long. There were no complications with the reservation itself, though, and I got my car without too much trouble.

Extremely bad experience with Avis. Waited over an hour in live to get my car. The location in Brooklyn was extremely understaffed and disorganized. Return was quick at least, but the staff member yelled at me like I was a criminal. I’ve never been treated so badly as a customer. And then the bill was $100 more than the estimate for no apparent reason. I spent $250 and 90 minutes in line just to drive 60 miles. I will not rent from Avis ever again.

Arrived at 4:17pm for my 4:15pm pickup. Line had about 10-12 people in front of me. One person working. At 4:43 there were still 6 people ahead of me. I canceled my reservation and borrowed a friend’s car instead. 30min later and I still wasn’t able to get my rental is unacceptable. It would have taken nearly an hour had I continued to wait.

The drop off at Midway was very confusing. Directions were very unclear. And there were no luggage trolleys available which made unloading the car extremely difficult.
I booked a car, was promised a good price, but when I arrived they said I can only have an EV (electrical vehicle) for this price. I said I booked a Gas car. They said, that if I want a Gas car I have to pay another $35. plus tax. I was VERY DISAPPIONTED. Also, the person at Dollar was very nasty towards me.
