Important information about Jersey City car rentals

Jersey City, also known as the sixth borough, takes pride in diverse neighborhoods, a rich history, a vibrant nightlife, and multicultural eating habits. A visit to Jersey City, New Jersey, United States will treat you to several iconic sites and destinations, including the Central Railroad Terminal, the Empty Sky Memorial, Ellis Island Immigration Museum, and the Liberty Science Center. The city has an advanced transportation system consisting of state/regional roads, county roads, and municipal streets. If you are driving car rentals in Jersey City, keep an eye out for US Route 7, US Route 139, and US Route 440. Look out for the intersections when operating a car or a passenger van rental in the city. A slight lack of concentration will lead you somewhere else. Parking is readily available in the city and its neighborhoods, making operating rental cars in Jersey City efficient. And if you are looking for a ride, you can find one in any of the over 50 car rental locations in Jersey City.

Is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Jersey City?

Parking is readily available in the city, with locations evenly distributed. You will easily find parking garages and metered lots across the town. You can also park at John F. Kennedy International Airport or LaGuardia Airport. Packages fall under commuter, weekend, event, and overnight parking. Ideally, you can also find free parking on most streets across the city, but this is limited to under two hours. With a keen eye on signage, the fast-growing metropolis is very accessible. Car rentals in Jersey City are also a nice way to access slightly distant locations since there are many places to visit and things to do in New Jersey. Notably, you do not want to miss out on the Island Beach State Park, Cape May City Beaches, Atlantic City Boardwalk, and the beautiful parks. While the city is very walkable, you will find a cheap car rental in Jersey City a fast and cost-effective way to cruise the city and visit neighboring cities, such as Atlantic, Cape May, and Newark.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Jersey City?

Like in every US jurisdiction, keep right when driving car rentals in Jersey. Stay in the slow lane if you are going slow, as the left lane is a designated passing lane, and monitor your speed on roads within the metropolis. Even though many new drivers stop in the E-Z pass booths, this should not be the case. Honk before passing skateboarders or cyclists and ensure you give way for school buses. While Jersey City car rentals are perfect for all seasons, the law requires you to remove snow and ice from the car. Seatbelts are compulsory, and you cannot drink and drive. Finally, always keep in touch with the city's motor vehicle department for updates.

Can I cross the border with a rental car from Jersey City?

If you wish to cross into another country from Jersey City, the nearest is the border of the United States with Canada. Crossing the Canadian border with a Jersey City car rental is not an issue if you have the proper documentation. You will need to present a U.S. or Canadian passport, photo ID, or permanent residence card. International travelers will have to show a valid passport along with a valid visa, if necessary. If you wish to drop off the vehicle in Canada, you must consult previously with the car rental locations in Jersey City to make sure they allow it. The largest Canadian cities closest to Jersey City are Montreal and Ottawa. Therefore, if you’re planning on driving to Canada, find car rentals in Jersey City that do not limit the mileage. Apart from going to Canada, crossing state lines is also allowed with Jersey City car rentals.

Can you rent a car in Jersey without a credit card?

If you’re looking to get car rentals in Jersey City without a credit card, there are a few agencies that allow debit card payments. Depending on the agency you pick up your vehicle from, they have different requirements or conditions for debit card payments. Hertz agencies, for example, do not allow payments with debit cards at off-airport locations in New Jersey. On the other hand, Enterprise and National may be easier options if you wish to rent a car without a credit card. They do not check your credit card, but the debit card must be VISA or MasterCard. If you’re picking up your vehicle from an airport location of one of these agencies, they do require you to present proof of a return ticket. The card must be in the same name as the renter and main driver. Nonetheless, we suggest confirming the requirements and restrictions previously with your car rentals in Jersey City.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Jersey City?

US Citizens visiting Jersey will simply need a valid US driving license that does not expire during the course of their rental. If your license is not from the US, New Jersey law does allow foreigners who have valid driver's licenses from their home countries to rent cars in Jersey City. If you visit NJ from outside of the United States, you can operate a car within the jurisdiction with your home license. And with options available from many car rental agencies, you can choose to have an electric car rental, economy car rental, or a luxury car rental in Jersey. Still, having an International Driving License is always an advantage. When renting a car in Jersey City coming from a foreign country you may need a special permit to be allowed to pick up the car. If your foreign driver’s license is not in English, you may be required to present an International Driving Permit (IDP). If the document is not in the Latin alphabet, you must have the IDP, too. This permit must be obtained in your country of origin, as you will not be able to get one once you are in the United States. Apart from the permit, you must have your foreign driver’s license with you as well since the IDP is not valid on its own. The car rental agency may require an extra form of ID as well, like a passport, when picking up your vehicle.
