KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hauppauge

  • Hauppauge boasts many landmarks and every penny you spend driving Hauppauge car rentals to explore the city is worth it. Bus routes in the city operate on fixed schedules and follow specific routes. This way, you can't fulfill your desire to view scenic places. With a rental car, you create unforgettable memories visiting places like Lighthouse Point Park, around 54 miles north, and West Rock Ridge State Park, about 52 miles from the city.
  • When visiting Hauppauge, you'll likely land at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The rental car lot at the airport is located at the Federal Center. You can choose a vehicle from several car rental agencies, including Enterprise, Budget, National, and Hertz. You can take a free shuttle to the car rental center from the airport terminal. However, these car rental agencies have different rental requirements. So, familiarize yourself before booking to avoid inconveniences.
  • Driving car rentals in Hauppauge can be tricky because of the busy streets. The city is near an industrious park, so you expect several trucks on the road. Hence, be careful when changing lanes and approaching busy highways to ensure a safe journey. Again, though the roads are well-marked and jaywalking is illegal, keep your eyes on the road to protect pedestrians. Again, stop near crosswalks to allow pedestrians to cross safely.
  • Like many highly populated cities, Hauppauge experiences heavy traffic during rush hours. It's mainly in the mornings and evenings between 7 am to 9:30 am and 3:30 pm to 7 pm. You should avoid driving car rentals in Hauppauge on Long Island Expressway (I-495) during rush because it experiences slow traffic and could cause delays. Research possible back routes in the city before driving to avoid affected routes. You can also drive before or after rush hours to avoid frustrations.

    Take a look at our extensive car hire location map to find the best car hire deals near you.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Hauppauge?

    Roads in Hauppauge are wide enough for two big vehicles to overtake. Therefore, consider driving a full-size car on your trip. Before choosing a vehicle, consider the distance to drive, number of people on the trip, luggage amount, travel budget, condition of roads, and whether to pick a car that meets your needs. When driving a large vehicle, you have a better view of the road, which helps in road safety. Again, most large cars have better traction, making them easy to drive on uneven roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Hauppauge?

    The general speed limit when driving car rentals in Hauppauge is 55 mph. This mainly applies where there aren't speed sign postings. On major highways, the maximum speed limit is 65 mph. The required speed limit is between 55 and 65 mph when driving on interstate roads. If driving in built-up areas, including business districts and residential areas, the maximum speed limit is 30 mph. If you aren't familiar with the streets, several road limit signs in the city guide you to prevent overspeeding and improve road safety.

  • Where are the best places to park in Hauppauge?

    There are cheap parking lots, metered parking, and garages in downtown Hauppauge. You need to find a spacious and secure parking lot close to the streets. This way, it's easy to park and exit. Smithtown Station, Islandia Shopping Center, Central Islip Station, St. James Station, and Ronkonkoma Station offer 2 hours of free parking. However, Residence Inn Long Island Hauppauge/Islandia offers 2 hours of free parking to customers only. Convenient parking lots include Allpro Parking, River Road Parking, and Assured Parking systems. The average charge for most parking lots and garages is around $14.50 per hour. You can find cheaper lots outside the city and travel to the city using a bus.
