KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Trenton

  • Car rentals in Trenton are the simplest way to get around. Trenton and its surrounding are enclosed by Interstate 295. As such, you can drive to New York City in only two hours or Philadelphia in an hour or less. A rental car allows you to travel within the city and throughout the surrounding area. Such flexibility and convenience are impossible by taxi or public transportation.
  • Trenton Mercer Airport has rental car services provided by National and Enterprise. To get a car rental in Trenton from the airport, go to the main level of the passenger terminal. You can pick up or drop off your car rental there. Additionally, Budget has a car rental service outside the airport premises. The airport has shuttles available at the terminal, which take interested travelers to the off-site rental center.
  • When driving a Trenton car rental, always turn right before turning left, a rule in the city. Additionally, watch for road signs indicating when and where turns are allowed. Some areas in Trenton, for example, "The Island," along Route 29, are prone to flooding in months like September. Due to the floodwater, driving can get dangerous hence it is advised that no cars, including SUVs, attempt to cross.
  • Trenton is a metropolitan area meaning that most commuters use their cars to get to work. As a result, getting into the city center can be problematic during rush hour. Trenton has traffic congestion, especially in the morning and evening. It is busiest at 5 pm when most people leave work, but the traffic clears out later in the evenings. As you drive around Trenton, beware of skateboarders and bicyclists who don't seem to be strict followers of traffic rules.
  • Medium hire cars in Trenton are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

They didn’t have a gasoline car which I reserved. I was stuck with a low mileage EV which was an inconvenience. Not an upgrade as I was never informed of. It took time to charge and I was subsequently late in the return. The “manager” at the Trenton Mercer Airport location was rude and not at all understanding about this. I will NEVER rent there again.

6.0 Okay

The vehicle we rented did not have operational windshield wipers and we did not find out until we were in a downpour on our trip. This was very inconvenient and disheartening and took time away from our travels. We also lost all of the air conditioning in our vehicle. We had to drive with open windows and we were very uncomfortable. We tried to exchange the rental and were told there were no other vehicles available. This forced us to change some of our plans and minimize our trip. The temperature guage in the truck was also fluctuating and we were afraid we would break down along our ride. The pickup and drop-off were seamless and both were helpful.
