KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Linden
- Car rentals in Linden eliminate the need to rely on public transportation schedules or wait for ride-share services. You can come and go as you please, making your travel experience more convenient. You can easily access popular attractions and destinations in Linden, such as Liberty State Park, the Cape Liberty Cruise Port, the Jersey Shore, and the Newark Museum, with a Linden car rental. Renting a car can be cost-effective, especially when traveling with a group.
- If you need a Linden car rental from an airport, you have several convenient options to choose from. At Newark International Airport (EWR), head to the AirTrain from Terminals B and C and take it to Station P3. For Terminal A, you can utilize the free AirTrain Shuttle Bus from the Departures Level, Door 3, to reach the AirTrain Station. Alternatively, you can consider New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA), where multiple rental car companies operate, providing frequent complimentary shuttles from LaGuardia to the rental car facility. All shuttles pick up and drop off at or near the front of the terminals. For more choices, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) offers rental car services at each terminal's Arrivals Level, featuring rental car counters or courtesy telephones with instructions to contact the listed rental companies. To access the rental cars themselves, simply take the AirTrain to the Federal Circle Station.
- Some things to know about driving car rentals in Linden are that in New Jersey, it is illegal for drivers to pump their gas. Gas stations are staffed with attendants who will fill your tank for you. New Jersey is known for its jug handles, road configurations requiring drivers to turn right to make a left turn or complete a U-turn. New Jersey has several toll roads and bridges, which can be surprising for visitors not used to frequent tolls. Have cash or an E-ZPass transponder ready for smoother travel.
- On weekdays, between 7:00 am and 9:00 am, traffic can be heavier as commuters travel to work, causing congestion on major roads. Weekday evenings, typically between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm, also experience increased traffic. Most of this heavy traffic occurs on roads like U.S. Routes 1 and 9 (US-1 and US-9), Route 27 (NJ-27), Route 439 (NJ-439), and Route 82 (NJ-82).

Had to change rental, with completely new rate (twice the price) for the exact same class of vehicles. This was due to the limit in range you can take certain cars from Payless. I would have taken my business elsewhere.Hertz
