KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in East Brunswick

  • It’s in your best interest to rent a car from one of the reliable car rentals in East Brunswick if you’d like to extensively tour this city and its surrounding areas. With a rental car, you’ll be able to visit attractions found within the city’s borders and those found in its neighboring towns. Within this city, you can drive to Rutgers Gardens, a bamboo forest, and public botanical garden; Crystal Springs Family Waterpark, a family-friendly amusement park with outdoor pools and waterslides; or Farrington Lake, a freshwater lake perfect for fishing and kayaking. On the other hand, outside East Brunswick, you can drive to fun destinations in Highland Park, Somerset, South River, and Sayreville.
  • You can rent a car once you land at East Brunswick’s primary airport, Newark Liberty International Airport. This airport is home to kiosks for several car rental providers. The on-site East Brunswick car rentals counters are accessible via the airport’s AirTrain. Some of the said agencies have counters at Station P3, while others have desks at Station P2. If you descend the AirTrain at Station P3, you will find counters for Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, and National, whereas if you alight the train at Station P2, you will find counters for Alamo, Budget, Payless, Thrifty, and Dollar.
  • You can count on having a smooth experience while driving your car rental in East Brunswick, as this city has wide,smooth, and well-signed roads. However, when driving, you should keep a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, be aware of your surroundings, cut out distractions, be alert for parked cars, pedestrians, and cyclists, and make sure that it is safe to pass or change traffic lanes before you do so. Adopting these techniques is in your best interest, as not all cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians adhere to traffic regulations.
  • In East Brunswick, heavy traffic is usually not a typical scene. However, the roads heading to and from the city center experience slight traffic from 8 am to 10 am and from 5 pm to 7 pm. To avoid the traffic, if you plan on visiting the city center, you should try and do so before or after the noted periods. Like many other New Jersey towns, East Brunswick usually experiences heavy winter from November to April. If you intend to hire a car rental in East Brunswick, you should hire one from a firm that offers car rentals equipped with snow bushes, ice scrapers, windshield wiper solutions, and tires fit for driving on the snow.

Pros:

Ease of rental, proactive service, price

Cons:

Lower Insurance cost, it was way too high. That particular vehicle had an obstruction when taking the foot off the break pedal. I had a somewhat long shoe. Could be very dangerous in certain situations.

Pros:

Nothing!!!

Cons:

The staff didn’t have our vehicle. They tried charging us 20% more. No one assisted us in getting a vehicle. An absolute nightmare. Everything closed by the time we found out we weren’t being helped. Left stranded without a vehicle. It was horrible. Kayak and Enterprise should work better together and enterprise should be ashamed of themselves.
