Staff could have been more helpful, and a little less unprofessional on some accounts when I went for the pickup. When I was standing at the counter it took ages to get the documentation done as the staff was rather interesting in chatting among themselves than paying attention to the customer. Otherwise, overall experience with the car itself was fine, I would give 5 stars on that account.

Way overcharged initially as the system had a booking of 25 hours rather than 24. When asked, the agent stated that there are extra taxes and fees that are “never correct” when initially booked. My daughter rented the car (I had reserved it) so she didn’t know how to answer. Also we had changed the rental to an earlier date but and were charged for insurance twice. The initial charged (two days for 24 hours) was not accepted by Alamo when we changed the date of the rental.

I waited for nearly two hours to pick up my rental car. I lost two hours of driving back from Newark to Detroit because I had to wait in line just to pick up my reserved car. It was honestly kind of a nightmare, and the only good thing about the experience is that the customer service reps were extremely nice. When I got in line, there were only two people working the desk; by the time I made it to the front of the line, there were four.

First time using Hertz due to specific SUV requirements that our usual provider did not have available. Pick up was fine and smooth enough. We received the correct vehicle. After an hour of operation, it began producing oil service notifications that persisted the whole trip across country, though oil levels were fine. A previous driver must have had pets as their were flees present in the vehicle. Overall, it got us where we wanted and didn't break down. Fine. Return on other end of country was another matter. The Hertz return location was locked and unstaffed when we arrived at 10am. After waiting 20 minutes, we contacted phone support, who wanted us to take the car to another location (at our time and gas expense, of course). After explaining that wasn't going to work for us, their proposal was to lock the keys in the vehicle and we would be charged a "locked vehicle" fee for the privilege of returning the vehicle safely. After 45min the attendant returned; Hertz had sent him to take care of an issue elsewhere, leaving the location unmanned. After an hour ordeal to get the car returned, and experiencing alternately incompetent and price gauging phone customer service, I'll never use Hertz for a rental again. Just garbage.

Picking the car up in Newark, NJ was very good and smooth. Returning the car in Reading, PA was a disaster. I was told when I originally booked the car, I would get a ride to my residence. When I dropped the car off, it was a whole different story. I asked if I could get a ride back to my home and I was told we do not do that. I asked the Agent if he could call me a cab and he said No, they do not do that. He told me he would give me a list of numbers for cab companies. Needless to say I had to wait over an hour for a cab outside in the freezing cold. I should not be surprised I lived in Reading most of my life and these people are to put it nicely a_ _ holes.

We already had car insurance when we rented the car, when we picked up the car they said we needed a different insurance, making it twice as expensive. Then we ordered the toll program and was reassured that we wouldn’t need to pay any tolls with it. This wasn’t true and we ended up spending more money than we would have just paying for the tolls outright.

Pick up was very odd. The lady who was helping to check us in was alternating between rude and falling asleep. Also didn’t ask us any of the questions our neighbors were being asked (ie: would you like ez pass). Moved so as molasses, scolded me after taking my credit card out after legitimately 5 minutes in the machine. Offered us a Yaris but she herself had no idea what that was. Very odd experience.

I didn't use Thrifty. I used Budget. There was a line of about 10-15 people, almost out the door or the building. When I finally get to the counter I was told they didn't have any cars left, so I would have to wait. After a short period they said they found a car for me. They didn't ask if I wanted insurance. The didn't ask if I wanted to fill the gas, or have them fill for a fee. They didn't ask if I wanted to use the transponder for tolls(which didn't work). They didn't tell me why the charge was $500 instead of $250 for a 2 day rental. I had to ask all those questions. I was given a receipt and told a parking spot number. The vehicle had significant roof damage and some dents/scratches to the front end. They never provided any instructions. They did not tell me I had to open the door on the toll transponder to use it. When I did open it, it didn't work. Budget might as well get rid of all the people they have working and set up a couple kiosks. It would be faster and more informative, as I felt like I was asking all the questions and doing all the work anyway.

It took quite a while getting out of the Newark airport because the attendant didn’t show up to work that day. I also only started with a half tank of fuel (which I didn’t realize until after I left) but was expected to return the car full. Lastly, the high beams only worked intermittently because of a loose connection. That’s not something you’d know unless you drove it so I don’t fault the company for that. I let them know at drop-off.

The person sitting at the counter was absolutely awful to me. - He asked me to provide him with a US address and after I told him I didn't live in the United States he just said "the system asks me for a US address, so give me one. it is not my problem if you don't have one" - Asked for my phone number and when I asked "to fulfil what requirement?" -I have a U.S sim card I got when I landed in the US to use locally, but my credit card is linked to a different number- he just kept repeating he needed a phone number, without responding my question. - Every time I asked him to explain something he would just repeat exactly what he had said before, even when I asked him specific questions about what that meant. - He ended up ignoring me and talking to my partner instead, asking him to tell me things, as if I was invisible. When I asked him why he was ignoring me, whether it was because I was a woman or latina, he just told my partner "can you tell her that I don't have anything against women, in fact I love women?" I would not recommend anyone to rent at this place. This individual ruined my experience, and should be fired for mistreatment. It is a service industry and they should provide a service, including good treatment.

Beware that the rate given in the Priceline / Kayak reservation can be arbitrarily changed. Beware that the Taxes & Fees in the reservation are NOT all of the taxes and fees that you will pay; there will be additional fees when you collect the car. Beware that the daily rate of SLI insurance posted in the Budget website is not valid. I booked Budget because I thought I was getting a deal, in the end I had to pay about $15 more per day than expected. And the car reeked of cigarettes and not a drop of wiper fluid left.

The pickup at Newark was inefficient and service near rude. I was given a car with cigarette burns in the seat and the smell in the car and via a/c vents made my child nauseous and ill.

Not sure if this is a regular occurrence or a one time event (and we were unlucky) but there were a lot more customers than staff could handle. Line took over the whole rental car area (and weirdly there were almost no customers at the other rental companies). Waited about 90 minutes to get to the desk. Staff were polite and courteous but clearly overwhelmed by the number of people. Also I rented an eazy-pass that ended up not working.

Bad experience! The car they rented me literally died, the battery couldn't even be jumped by the roadside assistance they sent. I spent 3 hours on my daughter's 18th birthday waiting at the car, dealing with the AAA people who were excellent and professional. Then Dollar sent me an Uber to take me back to the airport rental center (30 minutes away) to get a replacement car and when I arrived, I had to wait in line with all the people coming for new rentals, then the rental person couldn't access my record (I had a case # I gave her) and asked me all these questions that were already asked and answered in the case record. She briefly yelled at me for leaving the car unattended with the car keys in it - which is EXACTLY what the Dollar people on the phone told me to do since it was dead, couldn't be jumped, and couldn't be towed from the garage with the tow truck that was sent since the garage height was too low for the truck. Finally they gave me a new car and it has no trunk, which I wanted since we were driving around cities (NYC, Boston) and I didn't want to leave luggage or bags visible in the car due to risk of break-ins. But at that point I was missing my daughter's birthday dinner and did not want to take even more time away to get back in line for a different car.

They said they couldn’t get ahold of the other office and there was nothing they could do I and I should call them myself. I called and left messages and haven’t heard anything in 18 hours. They promised 24 and I’m not feeling confident about it. The associate literally didn’t even say sorry—it was such a bummer to spend money on that. Would really appreciate some sort of acknowledgement.

Mediocre experienceCar (chevy impala) was very new and excellent.The dropoff guy was not interested about his job at all. The customer service was very poor, but in the pick up it was good. Would have been nice to know all the taxes and airport extra charges in advance.

A brilliant serviceAfter having a previous bad spell with enterprise and moving to a competitor I decided to try a one day rental.. I was pleasantly surprised from the check in to the well trained and courteous staff to the quality of the car. Drop off was flexible and total experience was excellentIf you pick up a car at 4pm or whatever time drop off should be 24 hours or less to mike a day and should be expressly written. Drop off must not always be 12 noon as this is not a hotel service.. a day is a day and not a fraction of a day

(1) When I inquired whether I could upgrade to a hybrid, neither staff member knew what a hybrid car was. (2) Didn't offer a form for me to note pre-existing damages, and said one wasn't available when I inquired. (3) After I returned the car, they claimed that there's new damage when there's not.

Very bad pickup at Newark. Staff was rude and did not want to spend a few minutes to explain the insurance. Pickup was friendly. I will not book on Kayak in the future because it is not well integrated with Sixt's system.
10.0 Excellent19 May 2022
So many other rental companies really push their add-on insurance, but not Sixt. The agent did try to get me to opt for their EZ-Pass for tolls (at $34 plus tolls), which isn't really necessary given the new cash-less toll policies in the area (but you have to respond to pay your tolls). On checkout, their receipt documents all "damages" to the vehicle (scratches, etc). All in all, a great car at a good price. Quick and painless return. I'll definitely use Sixt again.

The SIXT staff is quite rude and slow. Their line at Newark was 2-3x longer than the comparable vendors. We got to the front only to be told to wait for another hour for a car. There's a reason it's cheaper, the service is worse.

I have never had a worse pickup experience, EVER! The staff were slow and rude, making personal phone calls and playing on their cell phones while I waited in line for 35 minutes - there were only 2 people ahead of me. I was given an "upgrade" to a car a did not ask for that was dirty inside and out, and smelled very strongly from marijuana and air freshener. It was so nauseating I had to drive with the windows open for the 3 days I had the car. Drop off was easy, and the staff was pleasant. Will never rent from Sixt at EWR again. I have had nothing but excellent experiences with Sixt in other locations.

I was disappointed with the customer service, waited over 10 min on the phone each time I called. I was calling to ask if they would wave the late check in. We were traveling for death of my mother and had one too many items happening, we missed calling in earlier and called on the road tried to explain but they would not here me out and told me 1 day extra would be charged on the 2hr. delay return. felt brushed off and treated as a number instead of person with a significant loss and excusable delay.

I rented a car in advance and the rental company at the airport closed earlier than their stated closing time and I missed the rental. So I had to rent another car and lost the $200 because it’s non refundable due to 3rd party rental. I will rent directly from the rental company from now on.

The staff were very miserable and unwelcoming, there was no efficiency, sold me insurance which I didn't require as I was covered by my own insurance, but staff were insisted that I needed it, when booking online this is not made clear. We dropped the car at 5.30am, there was no shuttle till 7am which didn't help, my husband had to drop us to the airport with the luggage and had to get an uber to the airport, meant having to spend more money All in all not value for money feel this is false advertising

Although the people seemed nice and competent when I picked up the car, I was charged an extra $100 on the backend of this transaction that wasn’t listed or mentioned at any time. I reserved the car to be picked up and dropped off in two different locations. I then confirmed it when I picked up the car. We carefully went over all of the rental details including pricing and deposit. However I was then charged extra money once I dropped the car off. This wasn’t explained up front at any point. I called and talked to customer service at the drop off location and he literally told me there was nothing he could do. No matter what I explained. Being sneaky and devious during monetary transactions is a terrible way to do business. I would have gladly paid what they told me was supposed to be paid if it was mentioned up front. On top of that, my total rental price fluctuated a lot throughout the whole transaction, from reservation to drop off the total costs were never even close. I’ve worked for a rental car company, and I know the ins and outs that can be charged, so I asked many questions. This was the worst possible experience. I tell all future renters to go somewhere else.

Please ensure that u add additional time to your booking in the beginning itself. They charged me for 2 whole additional days for returning the car about 3 hours late. Also, the Audi Q3 is not the best option for a long drive. The car hydroplaned massively on wet road conditions in upstate NY. Seat quality and ride quality left a whole lot to be desired. Overall, I’m extremely disappointed. Wouldn’t be recommending.

not truthfulI was able to reserve a car on line to drive from Manhattan to Cleveland. I even received a confirmation number. When we called to verify, we were then told that we could not have a car with a one way trip to Cleveland. I then received 2 texts and 2 phone calls requesting that I forward my information regarding the rental. During the last phone call, requesting "where I was" it was indeed clarified that I could not rent the car one way to Cleveland and the person on the line would just cancel the rental "for me". Really? It was confusing and frustrating.

Top tips for hiring a car at Newark Airport
- Getting car hire at Newark Airport is a great way to start your trip to New Jersey. Public transport in New Jersey is more focused on travel between New Jersey and other states like New York and Philadelphia and less so on travel within the state; this makes some places difficult to access using public transport. Your own vehicle will allow you to travel freely both within Newark and into the nearby states with total flexibility.
- If an easy and quick return is a priority for you then take advantage of the fact that many providers offering car hire at Newark Airport offer after-hours drop-off. If you choose this option, make sure you check the terms of the return thoroughly. Depending on whether your payment is hourly, daily, or weekly you may continue to be charged until opening the following day or for the full following day. Remember to check your vehicle thoroughly for any belongings before returning the keys and any necessary paperwork to the appropriate drop box.
- Most of the providers of car hire at Newark Airport are busiest between 12:00 and 16:00 so earlier in the morning or later in the day in the evening will be the best time to pick up and drop off your vehicle to avoid long queues. Luckily, most providers have long opening hours. For example, Budget opens at 06:00 and Alamo opens at 05:00 and both are open until 00:00. For complete flexibility, Avis is open 24h a day.
- Newark is a very large airport so be sure to take note of the location of your vehicle when you pick it up as you will likely need to return it to the same place. You may also wish to take note when you leave of the easiest way to get to the departures hall from the parking lot so that you can be confident in getting to your flight easily after you return your vehicle. Be aware that it is not permitted to park in front of, or next to, the terminal buildings at any time for any reason, even briefly.
- 25% of our users found a car hire at Newark Airport for £72 or less
- Book your car hire at Newark Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
