KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bridgewater

  • If you are looking for a perfect way to explore Bridgewater Township in Somerset County and nearby destinations, consider renting a vehicle from car rentals in Bridgewater. Renting a car allows you to explore different parts of the city at your own pace. It’s more affordable compared to the collective costs of hiring a taxi. You can drive west to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, a stunning natural area along the Delaware River, or head east to Morristown, a historic town known for its significant role in the American Revolutionary War.
  • Newark Liberty International Airport/EWR is the primary airport near Bridgewater, NJ, approximately 29 miles away. The airport hosts major car rental agencies, including Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Advantage, Payless, Hertz, Enterprise, Dollar, Budget, and National.

The city center is full of pedestrians and cyclists, so you should always be ready to give way. Slow down as you approach pedestrian stops and drive cautiously along narrow roads.
  • Traffic is not usually a major issue in Bridgewater, but roads can get congested during certain times of the day and the year. Most tourists flock to the city during summer, from May to early September, so traffic can get busy during this period.

Avoid driving during rush hour and monitor traffic updates to find the best alternative routes.

Everything went well. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The processing is smooth but the office space is small. We have to wait outside to give way for the other costumers.we are satisfied how the contract was explained.

I was given a Ford Edge for the week. On the first day, I had trouble putting the car into drive twice, and almost had the vehicle towed.. Luckily, the gear shift eventually moved, so I was able to cancel the tow, and I switched vehicles the next day at my original pick up location in Somerset. They made that change for me and I ended up with a Toyota 4Runner, which was a great drive. The staff was very nice, and concerned about my comfort.

Cons:

Better coordination between the site and booking forums I got a call early saying they weren’t sure they could honor the reservation because it was booked after hours and they could not guarantee the type of car I reserved by the time I needed it. I would need to pay more for an upgrade

Car hire insurance in Bridgewater

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Bridgewater car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Bridgewater.

Deductible

Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Bridgewater car hire.
