One of the main advantages of reserving a car rental at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is the convenience it provides. When dealing with a large metropolitan area like the New York area, trying to get a rental car after you've already made the trip into the New York area can be somewhat of a hassle. Also, while there is ample public transportation available from the airport to get you to several destinations throughout the area, renting a car means you can head to your destination directly and in a much shorter amount of time than on public transportation.
Booking a car rental at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport is quite easy for travelers. On the Arrivals Level of all the terminal buildings, you will find either a rental car counter or a courtesy telephone that offers instructions on how to contact the companies. These locations are usually found near the baggage carousels in the terminal buildings. To get to your rental car you can take the airport's AirTrain system to the Federal Circle Station where the rental cars are located.
You can return your New York John F. Kennedy car rental by simply returning it to where it was initially rented. As you drive to John F. Kennedy International Airport, look for the signage directing you to rental car returns. Drop your car off at the appropriate lot, take care of any questions or paperwork with a rental car associate that you may have, and then hop aboard the AirTrain system to take you to the appropriate terminal for your flight.
Like any major city, you are most likely going to encounter congested driving conditions during rush hour periods in the morning and the evening when driving your car rental at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport. That will include traveling on Interstate 678 as well as the Belt Parkway as you leave or approach the airport. Renting a car can also be time-consuming during busy holiday and weekend periods when a number of people will be heading to and from the airport, we recommend reserving in advance to save time.

Pickup and dropoff was quick and efficient. Clerks at both sites were a little too focussed on speed. Could take a bit more time to communucate. Eg where is the car, what type of car. When/how do i get a receipt?

Took nearly 3 hours from the time I arrived at Budget to driving off in the car. Just standing in the initial line took over an hour. Then had to wait for the car to be ready. Got the car, loaded it, realized the center console was totally dead. Had to unload and get a new car that wasn't cleaned.

Line was about 20 people long and each person that went to the counter took 10 mins. We waited 40 mins and the line barely moved. I went to Hertz and walked up, got a rental, and left - all within 5 mins.

This company should focus on honest business vs. scamming customers in order to make revenue.

Was allowed to rent a car past the time that the rental car company was open. Flight coming in was delayed so I hopped on different flight to this location, planning on renting a car to drive back home. Ended up being stranded in JFK for a night as I was never able to rent a car and all other places were booked. Had I known renting a car here wasn't possible I probably wouldn't have made flight arrangements this way

When we got to the car rental place they said there wasn't any cars, we explained that we booked through Expedia and the last was very rude to us. We then booked through hertz and had brilliant customer service and a lovely car. I'd highly recommend Hertz and will be avoiding dollar.

I was overcharged approximately $370 for the insurance because it didn't specify that it would be 3 times the amount when not purchasing online Windows weren't clean, windshield wipers were old and could barely see when it rained at night. The car was obviously in a major accident as it looked like it was painted with spray cans Plus it had 59,500 miles on it Horrible car and company I have never given such a bad review on a company like this one in my life

Great value for the price. Staff assures that you are getting the best value and were very kind. The car was in great condition. The only thing I would improve is more staff for times with more pick up and drop off. Other renters were very impatient and unkind to staff who were working very efficiently. There were no clear locations to park cars being dropped off which created more work for the staff. Otherwise, excellent.

I had a change of plans and returned the vehicle to the pickup site. The onsite staff were unable to remove the one way fee. The corporate office bounced me around, sens the info to the wrong local office and the issue is still not resolved.

They had two vehicles that both smelled like smoke. The employees “don’t have the discount codes” anymore. Apparently, you have to figure out the code and bring it to them to input. So no military discount.
