KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Beacon

  • Car rentals in Beacon, NY offer several advantages. First of all, they give you flexibility in your trip and a way to explore the scenic Hudson Valley at your own pace. You’ll find a variety of vehicle options, from compact cars to SUVs, to suit your individual needs. Beacon is a small town with no public transportation options, so you will need a car if you plan to explore the nearby Hudson Highlands State Park. Many Beacon car rentals will even offer vehicle pick-ups and drop-offs for ultimate convenience during your trip.
  • The nearest major airport to Beacon, NY is Stewart International Airport (SWF), about 15 miles south of the city. Beacon car rentals can be found at this airport through several agencies, like Avis and Budget. The rental desks are located on the main level across from the baggage claim area. The next closest airport is Westchester County Airport (HPN), about 45 miles southeast of Beacon. Here you will find six major car rental companies directly in the arrivals hall of the main terminal. The pick-up lots are conveniently located next to the terminal.
  • To fully enjoy your car rental in Beacon, remember some of these tips. Stay alert for one-way streets and pedestrians in the town center. The weather in the Hudson Valley can be unpredictable, so adapt your driving to rain or snow. If you plan to use GPS, ensure it's up-to-date to avoid confusion. Enjoy the scenic routes, like Route 9D, but drive with caution along the winding roads. You will likely encounter toll roads driving in this area, so check with your rental agency to learn about their policy for this. Some companies provide an EZ Pass, which will automatically charge the tolls, which they will add to your bill later.
  • Driving in Beacon may come with some challenges. The narrow streets in the heart of town can be difficult to maneuver in a larger vehicle. Additionally, you will need to be aware of pedestrians and bikers on the road. The parking spaces in town tend to be small, so use caution in the lots and on the street. Winter weather brings snow and ice, making road conditions slippery. If you plan to explore the greater Hudson Valley area, you may encounter some hilly, narrow roads, so drive carefully. Rural roads have fewer amenities, so plan appropriately for fuel.
  • Small hire cars in Beacon are around 3% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • Where are the best places to park in Beacon?

    In Beacon, some recommended parking options include the parking lots available in the downtown area, such as the lots on Main Street and near the train station. Street parking is available but can be limited, so checking for posted signs and time restrictions is crucial. We recommend that you use designated public parking areas, like the one near the Howland Cultural Center. Additionally, some attractions might have their own parking facilities.

Budget keeps charging for "fuel service" even if the tank is full, using a garbage excuse that the gas must be purchased within 3 miles of the airport - no such provision in the rental agreement. Consumer rip-off!
