KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hoboken

  • Hoboken is well-connected to major highways and road networks, making it easy to access various destinations in the region. With a car hire in Hoboken, you can conveniently reach popular tourist spots such as Liberty State Park, Jersey City waterfront, or even venture further to New York City, which is just across the Hudson River. When driving your Hoboken car hire, you can easily plan day trips to destinations like the Jersey Shore, the scenic countryside, or historic sites outside the city.
  • Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is located approximately 16 km (10 miles) southwest of Hoboken. Car hire agencies can be found at two designated car hire stations, known as Station P3 and Station P2. Several major Hoboken car hire companies including Dollar, Thrifty and Hertz have their desks at these rental stations. Another flying alternative is John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) which is situated in Queens, New York and is approximately 32 km (20 miles) east of Hoboken. Budget and Alamo are two options with desks at JFK Airport.
  • Hoboken has a significant number of one-way streets, which can be confusing for unfamiliar drivers. Pay close attention to the signage and be mindful of the street directions to avoid driving against the flow of traffic. Moreover, due to the density of businesses and residential buildings, delivery trucks and double-parked cars can impede traffic flow. Be prepared for occasional delays caused by delivery vehicles and exercise caution when passing them.
  • As one of the main thoroughfares in Hoboken, Washington Street is often congested, particularly during peak commuting hours in the morning and evening. This road runs north-south through the city and connects to major highways and tunnels, contributing to heavy traffic. In addition, the entrance and exit ramps for the Holland Tunnel, which connects Hoboken to New York City, can experience congestion, particularly during rush hours (between 07:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 19:00) and holiday travel periods.
  • Book your car hire in Hoboken at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact hire cars in Hoboken are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

The woman who helped me both rent and return the car was incredibly nice and easy-going, and made the process painless.

Cons:

My only complaint is that the drop-off was a little confusing. The entrance to the garage only listed "Parking," and the sign for Enterprise wasn't visible until you'd pulled into the parking garage.

Pros:

Good price unlimited miles. East pick up drop off service from Staff was awesome

Cons:

Windshield whipper fluid, any would be nice. I drove through a winter storm through the Catskills for 20 miles to get to a gas station to clean my windshield and buy fluid. Scariest moment I’ve had driving, like low fluid I get. This was bone dry note to sell probably the economy wasn’t the best choice to rent for the snow
