KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Newark

  • A visit to Newark is much more enjoyable with a Newark car rental. A rental car gives you the advantage of exploring the city as much as you can as opposed to the inconvenience of depending on public transport. The best places to visit in Newark are the Ironbound neighborhood, a large shopping district, the Newark Museum, which hosts over 80 galleries, and a view of the world's largest glass window at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. A car rental in Newark also allows you to explore longer drives to other areas like Brookdale Park and Bloomfield.
  • Newark Liberty International Airport is the gateway to Newark City. Several car rental companies have offices at Parking P1-P4 of the airport. You can get to the car rental booths by taking the airport's AirTrain, which connects the terminals to the parking.
  • Newark is considered to be a bikeable city rather than walkable. As a result, young people are always on bikes or skateboards. Since you'll encounter many cyclists and skateboarders on the road, always be alert while driving. The law expects you to honk at them before you pass. Additionally, Newark is a New Jersey college town, so be on the lookout for jaywalking college students.
  • Newark is regarded as the most populated city in New Jersey. There are over 100,000 commuters every day. As expected, traffic congestion is prone in the early mornings as people drive to work and evenings as they head back home.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Newark for $40 or less
  • Medium rental cars in Newark are around 46% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for Newark?

  • What is the speed limit in Newark?

    The law still requires you to follow speed limit rules even with a car rental in Newark. The speed limit in the city varies depending on location. Generally, the speed limit in Newark is 25 mph. These include places like residential districts and business areas. The school district's limit reduces to 20 mph for obvious reasons. In certain low-density residential neighborhoods and business areas, the limit is 35 mph, while on all other roadways, the limit is 50 mph. All interstates and some state highways have a limit of 55 mph and others 65 mph. Over and above the mentioned speed limits, certain places in Newark are different. For example, the speed limit on Park Avenue to East Orange City Line is 30 mph; on Port Street, it is 40 mph; on Raymond Boulevard, it's 35 mph; and on Route NJ21 McCarter Highway, its 45 mph. Due to the varying speed limits in different areas, always look at road signage to identify which limit applies.

  • Which is the best place to park in Newark?

    A justifiable concern for people looking to rent a car in Newark is the availability of parking spots. The good news is that Newark has several parking lots and garages. Nonetheless, the downtown area has limited parking spots. Newark has areas with free parking spots, which are difficult to find. Some streets with free parking are Bleeker, Halsey, New, University Avenue, Washington, Colden, Lock, Summit, Hudson, and Newark. If you don't find a free parking spot, you can park at cheap garage parking spots on Edison, Mulberry, Lafayette, Raymond Boulevard, and New Streets. The city of Newark has alternate side parking and following the City of Newark on Twitter is the best way to know what side pertains to what time and unplanned changes.

Lady was gonna charge me for an extra day because I showed up 45 minutes before my reservation time. She also told me the car had a full tank when it only had 3/4. If I hadn’t noticed the gas before leaving it wouldn’t have been rectified. The car also had very high mileage and felt like it needed an alignment.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, but they didn’t have any cars when I got there. I was forced to take a car that was a lot more expensive than the original car I had reserved. I ended up paying more than $20 a day extra than the car I originally reserved. I tried to exchange it during the week for a cheaper car, but there were none available.

The car had Wi-Fi, a touchscreen and great backup camera. However the remote to the car never worked. It slipped gears when shifting and pulled to the right to hard.

The car had a terrible odor. Had to buy a car deodorizer. The inside windows were streaky and dirty. Had to buy Windex so I could get rid of the glare. Staff was great. Would have returned car immediately but had to leave due to urgency of going out of town to make it to reservation.
