KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Centereach

  • There are several advantages to renting a car in Centereach, NY. First, public transportation is limited in the area, so renting a car gives you the freedom and flexibility to explore the city and beyond at your own pace. You won't have to depend on buses or trains, which can be inconvenient and may not take you directly to your desired destination. For example, there are several beautiful beaches in the area, including Lake Ronkonkoma and Smith Point County Park. If you rent a car, you can easily visit these beaches and enjoy a day of swimming, sunbathing, and beach activities.
  • New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is the gateway to many cities, including Centereach. The car-rental offices at the airport are located at the Federal Circle Station, which is accessible from the main terminals via the AirTrain. The AirTrain is a 24-hour service that connects all the airport terminals to the rental-car station. To get to the rental-car station, follow the "AirTrain" signs and take the AirTrain to Federal Circle Station. From there, you can use the escalators or the elevator to go down to the rental-car station.
  • When you’re driving cheap car rentals in Centereach, there are a few things you should keep in mind. The good news is that locals tend to be fairly respectful of the driving laws. Speed limits are generally followed, and there’s a relatively low incidence of aggressive driving. That being said, it's important to stay vigilant for any unexpected actions by other drivers, as distracted driving can be a problem in any city. There are some bicycle lanes in Centereach, but these are not particularly extensive, so it's important to keep an eye out for cyclists on the road.
  • Centereach experiences traffic congestion during rush hour. Rush-hour times in Centereach typically occur on weekdays from 7 am to 10 am and from 4 pm to 7 pm. During these times, traffic can be heavy, and it might take you longer to get to your destination using Centereach rental cars. Some of the roads that are most affected during rush hour are Highway 25, Nicolls Road, Hawkins Road, and NY-347 (Nesconset Highway).

Pros:

All was fine except that they forgot to note that I changed my pickup time to 2 hours earlier. Nobody was there to rent me the car and I had to wait 45 minutes. Backed me up by 1 hour by the time they sanitized the car and I got on the road. Other than that, all was great.
