At a large airport like Newark, in a very large metropolitan area, you would expect to find quite a few public transportation options that can get you from the airport to several locations in the area. While that is true, one of the drawbacks of this method of transportation is that if you are traveling with quite a few people or luggage that makes this type of travel rather difficult. That is why car rental at Newark Airport (EWR) is a great alternative. Not only is renting a car a rather cost-effective way to get around this large and sprawling area, but it lets you accommodate all of your people and their things quite easily.
One of the great things about car rental at Newark Airport is it offers a convenient location surrounded by several interstate freeways and highways. Once you leave the airport you can quickly jump on either Interstate 95 or Interstate 78 and be on your way to a number of destinations in the area. You can get to downtown New York in about 30min from this airport.
Because this is a large airport situated in a large metropolitan area, you should expect difficult times for car rental at Newark Airport during both the morning and evening hours, as well as sometimes on weekends, and especially on a Friday afternoon.

I had booked a minivan but they said I had booked a midsize SUV. I showed them the Kayak note and they said I had to call Kayak. In the 2nd they didn't have a Suv and had to give us a minivan. I felt abused

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.

Avoid at all costs! I received a scratched up car and was assured it was fine by the agents. I was not provided a paper receipt when requested and now Sixt is trying to hold me accountable for a smudge (not even a scratch) on the cover of a mirror. Garbage rental car company.

Three hours wait to get cars. Staff wasn’t sensitive to delays at all and no sense of urgency shown to clear queues. Nearby rental companies on the contrary were moving at lightning speed. Terrible experience overall

Girl who rented me the car was not very friendly or helpful with my questions. My impression of her was she was not happy to be there and listen to anyone. I rented from Newark Airport office a little after 5am Wednesday 09.18.24. The car was not what I wanted to rent and the first one had a check engine light on and needed to get a replacement.

Line was so long (about an hour), car wreaked like smoke. It also has a cracked windshield, a dent, and multiple marks on the exterior. Only good thing was the Avis girl who helped us at the counter.

My car broke down in Wilmington, Delaware and I had to wait over an hour for a tow truck. The agent on the phone couldn't find any location for me to get a replacement. I called back and got a different agent who was able to get me a replacement at Philadelphia International Airport which required me to take a $60 uber.

I made a reservation for a particular model of car. Once I arrived, the car I reserved was not available. Not only I receive no compensation for this, but I had to pay more money in order to get an upgrade which I was not interested in but was the only thing available. What is the point of going over the reservation?

Alamo did not allow me to get a car because they won’t take anything but credit card bookings. This should have been made clear at the offset. We spent money, time and resources to get to Newark to be disappointed. Missed our connections afterwards and everything that was planned after had to be cancelled. Super disappointing.
