Kingston is located approximately 30 miles from Newburgh (SWF) Airport. Travelers to Kingston will be delighted to learn that some of the major Kingston car rentals operate right within the airport. Some of these car rental agencies include Budget, Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, and Alamo. Upon touching down at the arrivals, you can head straight to the lower level of the terminal and hop onto the shuttle for a five-minute ride to the car rental desks.
Kingston might not be as busy as the Big Apple. However, driving around this city can still be a huge challenge, especially if you are a visitor. Driving in Kingston can be particularly challenging during winter months when the snow-covered roads are slippery. That said, it is not uncommon to see pedestrians jaywalking or cyclists failing to stick to their lances. As such, it helps to be extra cautious while driving your Kingston car rental lest you are involved in a totally preventable accident.

Specifically, traffic tends to be heavy along Emerson Street between 7am and 9am and later in the evening between 5pm and 7pm. Kingston experiences heavy snow during winter months.

Intermediate SUV

I was given a free upgrade which I thought was really nice but it turned out not to be. The car was returned to Enterprise the day before I picked it up by someone else and it appears to not have been cleaned or checked before it was given to me. There were coffee stains and puddles in the center console and the shifter was wet and sticky. The trunk was soaking wet with puddles of soap and water and the car stunk like a swamp. I could not use the trunk for my suitcases and I was planning to use the car for a road-trip. It turned out to be a cramped road-trip with people and suitcases all in the back seat of the car.

Pros:

Excellent service with renting the vehicle. answered all the questions we had about the GMC we rented. Drop off was easy .

Cons:

I didn't care so much for the model I rented for the long trip we took, there were a lot of little things ,not Avis fault but GMC the way they designed the car. I can go on and on about this but If I had to rent another car I would come back to Avis. by the way this is a great way to check a car out before you buy! I would not buy this GMC SUV. but my next trip I would definitely go back to Avis.

We selected a Hyundai Elantra online but were given a different vehicle with only 1/2 tank of gas. The employees didn’t even ask if a substitute vehicle was okay. Was also charged an absurd 20% tax, which is more than 4x the tax rate of our home state VA and which is 2x the tax rate of the state we rented from, NY. Nobody told us about that tax rate and it came as a total surprise. Probably won’t rent from Hertz again.
