Is it worthwhile to book a rental car in New Jersey?

Driving is one of the easiest ways to travel throughout New Jersey, making a car rental a great way to head to your destination. While certain major cities have their own public transportation systems, including Atlantic City, Newark, and Trenton, booking a cheap rental car is an affordable way to quickly drive to different attractions. More rural cities often do not have their own bus or metro lines, making a car a must. Plus, if you are planning on driving between towns or going on a road trip, a rental car is a great way to do this.

What are the driving conditions like in New Jersey?

During the winter months, New Jersey often experiences rain and snow. If you will be driving a car rental in the state during this time period, make sure to be as cautious as possible. It is best to decrease your speed limit, use your headlights, and turn your windshield wipers on during wet weather. When driving car rentals in New Jersey, you will also want to keep your eyes open for some of the main roads that connect different regions and lead you to the state’s largest cities. For example, Interstate 287 runs throughout the northern part of New Jersey and goes through Middlesex and Somerset counties. There is also Interstate 295 which runs through the length of Trenton.

What laws should I be aware of when driving in New Jersey?

An easy way to be as careful as possible when driving a car rental in New Jersey is by keeping up-to-date on the state’s different traffic laws and regulations. For example, if you are on a street or highway that has multiple lanes, try to stay in the right-hand lane unless you are passing someone else. If a child is less than eight years old, they must be in a proper child’s seat whenever in a vehicle. Unless it is prohibited by a sign, you are generally allowed to make a right-hand turn at a red light. Even if they are not crossing the street in a marked area, pedestrians always have the right away.

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

To rent a car in New Jersey, even cheap car rentals, you will need to present your chosen company with a government-issued driver’s license that will not expire until after your rental period is completed. Most companies require their customers to be a minimum of 21 years old in order to book a vehicle. If you are under the age of 25, you may still be required to pay an underage driver’s fee. Even if you are not from the United States, you will typically still be allowed to rent a car by providing either a license from your home country or an international driver’s license. If you will be using either of these, make sure to bring your passport with you, as your company may wish to keep a copy of it on file.

Due to illness, we were forced to cancel our vacation trip. I cancelled my SIXT reservation, but it looks like they're going to charge me a $100 cancellation charge. This is ridiculous. I rent cars several times per year, and I've never paid a $100 charge, no matter what. Since we didn't travel, SIXT has no costs to pass on to me. I won't be back. Our travel plans change frequently, and I do business with companies that can accommodate my needs. I never heard of SIXT before, but I learned my lesson. Confirmation number: 9930000199

They had the exact vehicle make I requested for as opposed to other companies who may instead offer you a different vehicle because it was in the same class. Sixt is basically committing insurance fraud. I returned the rental. Employee receives rental, inspects it, notes down the mileage etc. They have me sign off off on the return. The very next day, I get a damage claim notice. You can imagine my shock and disgust when I got that. If they didn't mention what alleged damage was caused, a witness with no interest would not have been able to find it. I had taken a picture of the vehicle but literally had to zoom in on the picture to find the alleged damage. The damage did not even look like fresh damage, but like some pre-existing paint job issue. If you look at Sixt reviews on Facebook, this is their business model. They do this to so many customers, I wonder how they expect to do repeat business. Never renting with them again, ever.

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.
