- Located only a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of New York City, Jersey City has a well-established identity centered around arts, music, sports, and exceptional food. Renting a car during your trip to Jersey City will help you capitalize on the city’s incredible location, sitting just across the Hudson River from the array of Manhattan attractions and equally close to the Jersey Shore and the expanse of beach towns and resorts. Having a hire car will provide you the freedom to set your own schedule travel at your own pace.
- Newark Liberty International Airport is located only 10 miles from downtown Jersey City and is host to a long list of major global hire companies including Avis, Alamo, Budget, and Hertz.

Kennedy International Airport, both about a one-hour drive from Jersey City.

Renting a car always feels kind of expensive and stressful, but overall this was a very good and easy experience. I don’t feel I could have really asked for more.2,0 Poor
Eva, Oct 2020
Pros:
At pick up they were somewhat friendly but, returning the car was an ordeal, it took a long time and they were rude.Cons:
A car that had functioning windows and keys. Giving me the right return information. Letting me know the final cost and not charge extra afterwards, $90 more than expected on a two day rental is robbery.2,0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing about the experience was good.Cons:
Pick up of the car was a nightmare. Spent over an hour in line and took a total of two hours to complete the rental. Really messed up our day plans and even missed a reservation. They didn't honor the prices that were online and we had to pay more for the rental insurance in the office. The EZ Pass wasn't activated and they didn't bother to tell us. The whole experience was unpleasant.2,0 Poor

They didn’t have a car for me at all nor did they help me to find another option.Cons:
Not taking my reservation in the first place. Assistance finding another reservation and price matching the original booking at another local Hertz.2,0 Poor

Michelle, Nov 2020
Pros:
So the staff member upon picking it up asked if I wanted to add easy pass which I said yes to and then it never got added since it didn't work at any of the tolls. Also, he never said anything about returning the car with a full tank. When we got the car it was less than a quarter full and we dropped it off with half a tank and then found out it was supposed to be full? What? Why wasn't this in our contract or told to us? The car kept dropping the blue tooth for our phone when we were trying to play musicCons:
The staff should have told us about how full the tank needed to be upon returning and they should have told us about the E-ZPass not being added when we thought we were using it. Not happy with the car or service10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
Always a joy renting from this Alamo location, they are so quick to get you in/out and it's never busy. Had a few great experiences renting from Gio, it's definitely my location of choice in Jersey City.Cons:
Only negative is that the cars are parked on the 8th floor of a parking garage and it takes foreeeever to go in/out. But not the end of the world.2,0 Poor
