KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Jersey City
Located only a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of New York City, Jersey City has a well-established identity centered around arts, music, sports, and exceptional food. Renting a car during your trip to Jersey City will help you capitalize on the city’s incredible location, sitting just across the Hudson River from the array of Manhattan attractions and equally close to the Jersey Shore and the expanse of beach towns and resorts. Having a hire car will provide you the freedom to set your own schedule travel at your own pace.
Newark Liberty International Airport is located only 10 miles from downtown Jersey City and is host to a long list of major global hire companies including Avis, Alamo, Budget, and Hertz. The counters for all hire agencies are located at station P3 of the airport, a short Air Train ride from station P2. Also consider flying to either Teterboro Airport or John F. Kennedy International Airport, both about a one-hour drive from Jersey City.
Being part of the Greater New York City metropolitan area means that there are people everywhere; on the roads, on sidewalks, in parked cars, in alleyways.

Jersey City experiences significant rush hour traffic from 6:30 am to 9:30 am in the morning, as well as between 4 pm and 7 pm in the evening.

Got upgraded which was amazing. Kia Sportage was smooth, clean and spacious. No elevator at garage, but no big deal. Attendant at desk was so nice and helpful. Process was quick! Thanks
Didn’t have car when I came to pick it up. Had to wait an hour. When I dropped it off, they billing didn’t align and I was told $20 more than when I picked up the car. They said they’d rectify it but I still don’t have my deposit back to confirm how much I was charged.

Avoid this place! Basically a criminal gang stealing money from your credit card. Bunch of bullies and liars. And it's not a one off mistake, they doing it deliberately. Just check the reviews, I wish I have done it before I went there.For a $34 car rental, they took $980 from my card. In Europe, Avis is a respected company but in the USA its nothing but organised crime.
I’m quite disappointed with the experience. My confirmed booking wasn’t honored, and I had to argue just to get a car. On top of that, the vehicle provided was not in the class I reserved and had a strong smoke smell, indicating it hadn’t been properly cleaned.

Extremely poor. Dollar failed to disclose critical return restrictions before pickup. My confirmation email explicitly stated a same-day return at 9:00 PM, but upon arrival I was told the office would close at noon, be closed all day Sunday, and that I would be charged an extra day because returns would not be processed until Monday. This information was never disclosed during booking. I was informed only at the counter, when I had no time to change plans without missing a time-sensitive event. I was effectively forced to accept a longer and more expensive rental than what I agreed to. Even though the car was physically returned on Saturday via after-hours drop-off, I was still charged for an additional day due to Dollar’s internal processing policy. This is misleading, unacceptable, and a clear failure of transparency. I would not rent from Dollar again.
