KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Toms River
- Choosing car hire in Toms River, New Jersey, will give you the freedom to explore this scenic North American area on your own terms. Although New Jersey does have public transport options, services do not often cover more rural areas and you may have to make changes or wait for connections between buses and trains, adding to your overall travel time. Hiring a car in Toms River will also allow you to see fantastic locations, like Beach Island State Park on the Jersey Shore and Forked River Mountain, which are not easy to reach on public transport.
- Toms River is located near three international airports: John F Kennedy Airport (JFK), La Guardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). If you want to get your trip underway as soon as you land in New Jersey, you will find car hire desks located at all three airports. Passengers arriving at JFK Airport can access the car hire desks inside the Arrivals terminal, near the luggage collection area. Meanwhile, if you fly into La Guardia, you’ll find a shuttle bus stop for the car hire centre located outside all terminals. For Newark Liberty Airport, car hire desks are located inside Station Car Park 3, which can be reached on the airport’s AirTrain.
- Driving around Toms River and the wider New Jersey area is a great experience because American roads are generally spacious and well-maintained. The driving culture is not usually aggressive unless you venture into nearby cities, like New York. Some local driving rules may be quite confusing to visitors. For example, when you’re driving in America, you are allowed to turn right at traffic lights after giving way, even when the light is red. You may get honked at if you sit in the right lane at red traffic lights without moving. However, turning right on red is not permitted in New York City. If you’re visiting Toms River in winter, you should also keep your eye on the weather forecast, as roads around New Jersey can be prone to snow and ice.
- When you choose car hire in Toms River, you can usually expect a lot of traffic congestion on Route 9, which leads up towards New York. This route will often be especially busy during the weekday rush hour, which usually falls between 07:00-09:00 and 16:00-19:00. Coastal roads heading north from Toms River, like the 70, 35 and 36, are generally quieter than the highways. You will not find too much traffic congestion in Toms River itself, and State Highway 37 is usually fairly clear.
- Book your car hire in Toms River at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate car hire in Toms River are around 74% cheaper than other car types, on average

Jun 2021
Pros:
Nothing. Could not get a radio station in this crappy rental. The car was scratched up; dinged; the bumper had damage; it was terrible. The office was disgusting and hot; the kid that checked us in would not let me upgrade as I was told by another person when I called before I got there. I was seriously so shocked that they rented a car in that bar of condition physically and no radio reception on top of it. I will never rent from Hertz Toms River again. YUCK!! I deserve a refund for that horrible experienceCons:
A car upgrade that I was promised at no extra charge ; a radio that works with NO static; better location for the office on Toms River that looks professional with professional people who act like they care about people; a car that wasn’t so physically scratched up on the outsideAvis

When your airline cancels your flight and you have to fly the next available one you should not be charged an extra day for showing up six hours after I was supposed to be there. There should be a little buffer for customers with valid reasons. I paid the insurance and everything.2.0 Poor
