KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Summit

  • Driving car rentals in Summit is the ideal way to get around this historic suburb of New York City, according to your own schedule, not limited by public transportation schedules and destinations. You can visit the many parks in town, including Grove Terrace Park and Summit Park, or enjoy a restaurant or coffee shop along the Passaic River. Car rentals in Summit give you the freedom to explore the Great Swamp National Refuge to the west and New York City to the east.
  • The three major airports that serve NYC all make ideal locations for securing Summit car rentals. Just 20 minutes to the east, the Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) provides frequent AirTrain service from every terminal to its car rental agencies at Station P3. Return the car to the agency, and take the AirTrain back to the EWR terminals. Situated about 1h 30min east of Summit, the LaGuardia Airport (LGA) provides complimentary car rental shuttles outside each terminal that go to the nearby agencies. When you return the car to the agency, you can catch a shuttle back to your LGA terminal. Located about 2 hours to the east, the John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) has car rental agencies in the arrivals area of each terminal. Then you take the AirTrain to the Federal Circle Station where the cars are parked, and where you will return them. You can then take the AirTrain back to the JFK terminals.
  • Those driving car rentals in Summit should be aware of peak rush hour traffic from 6 am to 10 am and 4 pm to 7 pm. Within the city, roads are paved and well-maintained. Some roads are narrow, due to the historical nature of part of the city. Because Summit has a number of parks and schools, those driving car rentals in the Summit need to be on the lookout for and give right-of-way to pedestrians, especially children.
  • One challenge those driving car rentals in Summit will face is dealing with toll roads. Paying tolls in car rentals in Summit with your own transponder can be complicated because the name on the transponder account does not line up with the owner of the car. To avoid getting fined for driving on toll roads around Summit, consider investing in the Toll Program offered by your rental car company. In the winter months, make sure your car is cleared of ice and snow so that you have good visibility before you get behind the wheel, and while you are driving, exercise caution.

Ridhima, Nov 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Tamecka Dixon was the friendliest and most accommodating agent I have interacted with across ANY car rental platform. She kept her office open for 15 extra minutes as I was running late, even though it was the night before Thanksgiving. Her generosity and flexibility make her an exceptional member of Avis and I am certainly going to rent with Avis once again largely because of the stellar service, coupled with the easy check-in process and lower costs.

Cons:

A more secure drop-off process would be preferred. The office is closed on Sundays, so dropping off in they key window did not feel as secure as ideal.

Nothing at all. EVERYTIME there is a problem, with any location. Staff is extremely rude & nasty. Nobody knows what’s going on between branch locations and corporate . This company is so unprofessional and unorganized!
