If your car hire provider has a rental booth at the car rental center at Station P3, take the Newark Air Train at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to get there. The Air Train is free of charge for on-airport transport services. During the day, the Air Train operates every 3 minutes, while from 9 pm, it operates every 15 minutes. Exit the arrivals area by following the airport signs towards the baggage claim. Walk to Newark Air Train station at the terminal, which is on the top floor of the building. The Air Train will stop at Station P3. Alight the train and go down the escalator; the car rental center is outside the doors.
New Jersey imposes heavy fines on anyone driving while drunk. The BAC limit is 0.08% and any having higher concentrations while on the wheel attracts a DUI. If you’re in driving during heavy rains, turn on your headlights. Heavy rains reduce visibility on the road leading to road accidents. Also, always have your headlights on 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset. The left lanes in Newark are not for driving; they are for passing. If you’re driving slowly, use the slow lane and always drive on the right. Young children in all vehicles in Newark must be secured to an appropriate child seat.
The drive from EWR to downtown Newark takes approximately 15 minutes. To head to downtown Newark, drive south on Lindbergh Road. Continue on the road, then make a left to Hotel Road. While on Hotel Road, follow the signs leading to NJ-21 N and join it. Make a left onto Lafayette Street after a few minutes on NJ-21 N. Join Mulberry Street by making a right and then take a left to Market Street. Continue on Market Street, which will take you straight to downtown Newark. Some attractions to explore in downtown with Newark car rentals include Newark Museum, Newark Public Library, and Newark Penn Station.
Newark, New Jersey is a short drive to many other states including New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. If you rent a car, you’ll be able to see so much more while on vacation. Spend a day or two in New York City then make a day trip to New Canaan, Connecticut to tour the Glass House or Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for some casino fun.
Flying into Newark offers easy access to numerous cities including Trenton, Long Island, Hoboken, and New York City. At Newark Liberty International Airport you’ll find it easy to rent a car. Depending upon what company you use, you can get to the rental desk at Station P2 or P3.
During your stay, you’ll find yourself frequenting the New Jersey Turnpike to get to numerous destinations including Hackensack and Ridgefield Park. Nevertheless, the turnpike can get really busy. If traveling north on the turnpike, consider taking the I-295 instead. It will be less hectic and lets you avoid the tolls, plus you can also get back on the turnpike from here if needed.
Traffic in Newark can be quite heavy during the daily commute. Newark’s rush hour is most busy from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. During this time the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway become especially congested.

If you don’t worry to save $20-40 so much, just rent from companies that are attached to the airport!

Despite providing both Kayak and Sixt my flight arrival time into EWR, the Sixt rental counter desk was closed and I was unable to retrieve the car I had reserved and pre-paid. Fortunately, the other major rental car brand desks were open and I rented elsewhere. Thus far Sixt has resisted refunding their $400+ charge. Rent from Sixt in the US at your own risk.

I left my purse somewhere between the rental car return and the train so dashed back to trace my steps and met the nicest enterprise employee ever who quickly took me to the car to check, called his manager and then the manager called the train folks. Happy ending in that my purse was returned and we were able to catch our scheduled flight! It started with two very conscientious Enterprise employees. I failed to get their names but am sending them a high five!

Newark rental experience was awesome. Unfortunately my rental was supposed to be picked up at Laguardia airport, and the Hertz team from LaGuardia is about the most disrespectful you could have find anywhere in the USA. They forced me to get an Uber and made me go to Newark to pick up the rental over a technicality that I was not responsible for. I spent 3 hours in the whole process, and I experienced the worse level of customer service at an airport’s Hertz rental location there at LaGuardia. Needless to say, I’m not using Hertz car rental services ever again… Sincerely, Tony Zapata.

Great but as I drove away I realized the car was not clean, Fingerprints all over the touchscreen crumbs on the floorand there was leftover food items in the back seat floor.

Rental car had problems with steering and wheel alignment and with brakes. Hertz couldn’t get exchange my car after multiple complaints.

Cons:

I made the reservation and paid in advance, only to find when arriving at the counter that I’ve been placed on a Do not rent ban. The staff at the counter could not tell me why or help me any further and made me call a customer service line, where I waited for 20 minutes on hold. Since I was in a time crunch, I had to walk away and rent with a different service. Why did Hertz not flag my account when I paid for my reservation in advance, instead of wasting my time when I was already ready to pick up the car? Who knows. I still have not been able to get through to their specific phone line to figure out why my account has been blocked, after calling multiple times. I last rented with Hertz a few months ago, and never received any notice about my account being blocked.

Pros:

Nothing. Hertz did not have an available car from me at the location my reservation time, even though I made AND PAID FOR the reservation in advance. The location not only ran out of cars hours before my reservation, but they did not think to even call me to tell me that they will not be able to honor my reservation. I had to commute almost two hours to reach the Hertz location. I only found out AFTER reaching the Hertz location that my reservation would not be honored. The location also refused to assist me with my dilemma. I am STILL actively trying to get my money back for a service they refused to provide.

Cons:

Confirm the location will have a car when a reservation is made in advance. I made the reservation over a week in advance. There is NO REASON AT ALL for Hertz to not have a car ready for me when I arrived.

I showed up. On time for my one day rental. They told me they had no cars but they would try to get me in a car some time today. No definite time, no alternatives. I waited an hour. Others had already waited two. I couldn't wait any more or I was going to miss my meetings. Had to cancel. Spent more than the rental amount on cabs getting there and back and was late for everything. One woman was helpful with a refund, but beyond that about as bad a service as you could possibly imagine.

Cons:

I’m hoping I didn’t screw up with that easy pass. I’m not sure it was open for a bridge crossing and I’m not very familiar with the whole toll and easy pass since the cashless toll system has been implemented. I could have used more info on using the easy pass. Will I get penalized?

Beryl, Nov 2019

Cons:

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.

The gas tank was not filled all the way and when I pointed it out to the attendant he claimed that it was…. It was a little more than 3/4 full and he didn’t want to deal with it. Will not be using this company again.

Pros:

Good rate, good car

Cons:

There needs to be proactive communication from the operator of that Fox franchise that you have to call for a shuttle pickup. It is not automatic. It is only "on demand". Also the franchisee (Drivo Rent a Car) demands you present proof insurance info at time of rental or no dice! IN addition, their system is not tied into Fox's loyalty program so they can pull up rental preferences, etc.

This was a bad experience. I booked the car through kayak. The company text me the day after for my personal information to expedite my checkout. The day of pickup they told me they need to do a soft credit check because I live in New Jersey. You knew that yesterday when I responded to the text. So my frozen credit can't rent a 7 passenger mini van. Not like a email or text with the policy could have prevented that. I could have unfrozen my credit 24hr before but it's ok grandma and grandpa can ride in the trunk or roof of my car. If I was from Russia I could have rented it an put in a container and been back home before the next shift started. Just another business with great customer service. Thanks for saving me $600

They just want to make extra money wherever they can from customers by charging for late drop off though when we picked up car we asked about return time. Very unprofessional. Never rent another vehicle from there and we told same thing to friends and family too.

Bait and switch in more ways than one. It wasn’t Ace, it turned out to be operated by Drivo (who I would not have booked with if that was made clear). Drivo forced me to purchase additional insurance at pick-up that other rental providers have never required because I already have insurance. I am extremely disappointed in Kayak for misleading me on who I was booking with, disappointed in Ace for letting Drivo operate under their banner, and disappointed with Drivo for forcing me to pay an additional $119.96 in surprise costs at pick-up when I had already declined additional insurance when booking (because I already have insurance).
