If you don’t worry to save $20-40 so much, just rent from companies that are attached to the airport!
Verified travelerJul 2024
Ask about coverage area where you can drive and please read fine prints as no one will actually tell you about that unless you ask.

Use a reputable company located at the airport, not Ace or Fox.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Newark

  • Newark, New Jersey is a short drive to many other states including New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. If you rent a car, you’ll be able to see so much more while on vacation. Spend a day or two in New York City then make a day trip to New Canaan, Connecticut to tour the Glass House or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for some casino fun.
  • Flying into Newark offers easy access to numerous cities including Trenton, Long Island, Hoboken, and New York City. At Newark Liberty International Airport you’ll find it easy to rent a car. Depending upon what company you use, you can get to the rental desk at Station P2 or P3.
  • During your stay, you’ll find yourself frequenting the New Jersey Turnpike to get to numerous destinations including Hackensack and Ridgefield Park. Nevertheless, the turnpike can get really busy. If traveling north on the turnpike, consider taking the I-295 instead. It will be less hectic and lets you avoid the tolls, plus you can also get back on the turnpike from here if needed.
  • Traffic in Newark can be quite heavy during the daily commute. Newark’s rush hour is most busy from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. During this time the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway become especially congested. Before you leave the hotel you should listen to the traffic report to learn about accidents or construction projects. Alternative routes are also suggested.
  • If your car hire provider has a rental booth at the car rental center at Station P3, take the Newark Air Train at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to get there. The Air Train is free of charge for on-airport transport services. During the day, the Air Train operates every 3 minutes, while from 9 pm, it operates every 15 minutes. Exit the arrivals area by following the airport signs towards the baggage claim. Walk to Newark Air Train station at the terminal, which is on the top floor of the building. The Air Train will stop at Station P3. Alight the train and go down the escalator; the car rental center is outside the doors.
  • New Jersey imposes heavy fines on anyone driving while drunk. The BAC limit is 0.08% and any having higher concentrations while on the wheel attracts a DUI. If you’re in driving during heavy rains, turn on your headlights. Heavy rains reduce visibility on the road leading to road accidents. Also, always have your headlights on 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset. The left lanes in Newark are not for driving; they are for passing. If you’re driving slowly, use the slow lane and always drive on the right. Young children in all vehicles in Newark must be secured to an appropriate child seat.
  • The drive from EWR to downtown Newark takes approximately 15 minutes. To head to downtown Newark, drive south on Lindbergh Road. Continue on the road, then make a left to Hotel Road. While on Hotel Road, follow the signs leading to NJ-21 N and join it. Make a left onto Lafayette Street after a few minutes on NJ-21 N. Join Mulberry Street by making a right and then take a left to Market Street. Continue on Market Street, which will take you straight to downtown Newark. Some attractions to explore in downtown with Newark car rentals include Newark Museum, Newark Public Library, and Newark Penn Station.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Newark for $57 or less
  • Book your rental car in Newark at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Newark are around 67% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Newark

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Newark?

    Newark enjoys four distinct seasons – winter, spring, summer, and fall. So if you are visiting for the Christmas or New Year’s holiday, you might experience lots of snow. Therefore, an SUV might be best to get you through the snowy conditions. Other times of the year, a smart or compact car might be best when visiting Newark because of parking limitations. Simply put, a smaller car can more easily fit into a tight parking spot on the street.

  • What’s the speed limit in Newark?

    The speed limit is 65 mph on both the Garden State Parkway and the NJ Turnpike. However, if you are traveling through residential neighborhoods, New Jersey law requires that you slow down to 25-35 mph, depending upon the zoning. Around the downtown area the speed limit is 30 mph. Watch for signs to avoid getting a speeding ticket.

  • Where are the best places to park in Newark?

Newark rental experience was awesome. Unfortunately my rental was supposed to be picked up at Laguardia airport, and the Hertz team from LaGuardia is about the most disrespectful you could have find anywhere in the USA. They forced me to get an Uber and made me go to Newark to pick up the rental over a technicality that I was not responsible for. I spent 3 hours in the whole process, and I experienced the worse level of customer service at an airport’s Hertz rental location there at LaGuardia. Needless to say, I’m not using Hertz car rental services ever again… Sincerely, Tony Zapata.

Cons:

I made the reservation and paid in advance, only to find when arriving at the counter that I’ve been placed on a Do not rent ban. The staff at the counter could not tell me why or help me any further and made me call a customer service line, where I waited for 20 minutes on hold. Since I was in a time crunch, I had to walk away and rent with a different service. Why did Hertz not flag my account when I paid for my reservation in advance, instead of wasting my time when I was already ready to pick up the car? Who knows. I still have not been able to get through to their specific phone line to figure out why my account has been blocked, after calling multiple times. I last rented with Hertz a few months ago, and never received any notice about my account being blocked.

Despite providing both Kayak and Sixt my flight arrival time into EWR, the Sixt rental counter desk was closed and I was unable to retrieve the car I had reserved and pre-paid. Fortunately, the other major rental car brand desks were open and I rented elsewhere. Thus far Sixt has resisted refunding their $400+ charge. Rent from Sixt in the US at your own risk.

I left my purse somewhere between the rental car return and the train so dashed back to trace my steps and met the nicest enterprise employee ever who quickly took me to the car to check, called his manager and then the manager called the train folks. Happy ending in that my purse was returned and we were able to catch our scheduled flight! It started with two very conscientious Enterprise employees. I failed to get their names but am sending them a high five!

Reserved, specifically, a luxury vehicle to fit four people and two suitcases in the trunk. At arrival, as given the choice of two of the exact same vehicles, Genesis G70s, which are COMPACT sports sedans. Only one of our suitcases fit in the tiny trunk so my sons, ages 17 and 20, had to ride in the back seat with the other suitcase between them. Not comfortable. And not easy to get seat belts buckled, either. The car was very clean and drove well but I don't feel I actually received what I paid for.

Good - Easy pickup and dropoff. Could be better - Agent assigned a vehicle that was no available. The parking attendant reassigned another vehicle but it took some time and the model was different.

Pros:

My rental agent was wonderful.

Cons:

I’m hoping I didn’t screw up with that easy pass. I’m not sure it was open for a bridge crossing and I’m not very familiar with the whole toll and easy pass since the cashless toll system has been implemented. I could have used more info on using the easy pass. Will I get penalized?

Pros:

I did not like anything. Bad service.

Cons:

They lost the keys and the car then the wait to be seen meanwhile they are all here the attitude it’s just not a good experience at all. The person that lets you out is never there and you have to wait on them or go looking for someone it is ridiculous .

This was a bad experience. I booked the car through kayak. The company text me the day after for my personal information to expedite my checkout. The day of pickup they told me they need to do a soft credit check because I live in New Jersey. You knew that yesterday when I responded to the text. So my frozen credit can't rent a 7 passenger mini van. Not like a email or text with the policy could have prevented that. I could have unfrozen my credit 24hr before but it's ok grandma and grandpa can ride in the trunk or roof of my car. If I was from Russia I could have rented it an put in a container and been back home before the next shift started. Just another business with great customer service. Thanks for saving me $600

They just want to make extra money wherever they can from customers by charging for late drop off though when we picked up car we asked about return time. Very unprofessional. Never rent another vehicle from there and we told same thing to friends and family too.

(a) Girl was not at station to issue car for 10-12 min (b) Super Rude, arrogant girl at counter who seemed unhappy to have customers (b) Lied about return policy of car being minimum 90% charged (d) Charged twice 200 $ security deposit (e) Thrifty did not gave charging cable and charger , while no where in booking it was mentioned that they do not give with car ( unlike Europe ) or select these as additional rent options as they do with other accessories like child seat / snow chains/ gps etc. I had a super horrible time looking for chargers, waiting at charging stations, limiting my travel plans and their was a 24/7 stress to keep managing and planning charging and travel (f) i am already in touch with my lawyers to look upon the above aspect as i feel i have been cheated

Your credit card requirements are ridiculous. If you want this stupid system, have a way to check the credit card before the customer shows up. Requiring credit cards that have chips with the person's name who booked the car is strange. It cost us money, time and anxiety. Will ensure to not book work you or Hertz again.

The gas tank was not filled all the way and when I pointed it out to the attendant he claimed that it was…. It was a little more than 3/4 full and he didn’t want to deal with it. Will not be using this company again.

Pros:

Their customer service was really very good. Unfortunately they had no cars to honour the booking. They did try to help and we're very willing to do so. But there were no cars.

Cons:

Have more cars.
