KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mount Vernon

  • Mount Vernon car rentals allow travelers to explore the beautiful city at their own pace and schedule, unlike public transportation. Mount Vernon is known for its over 400-year-old history and rich cultural heritage, which attracts many people to the city. The city boasts its historic sites, monuments, and museums for everyone to enjoy. With your rental car, you are free to travel anywhere in Mount Vernon; for instance, take a day trip to Branson Zipline & Canopy Tour about 40 miles southeast of Mount Vernon to enjoy forest views while zipping along a forest canopy on a steel cable. You can also cruise to Roaring River State Park, approximately 36 miles south of Mount Vernon for sightseeing.
  • Several airports serving Mount Vernon have onsite and offsite car rental counters accessible to travelers visiting the city. Visitors landing at New York John F Kennedy International Airport can access the counters located in the airport's international terminal Car Rental Center where you can find the best car rentals in Mount Vernon. If you arrive through New York LaGuardia Airport, head for the counters found at the airport's Terminals B and C. At White Plains Westchester County Airport, you can get onsite car rentals at the terminal's arrivals level. Newark Airport has onsite counters next to the terminal's baggage claim area.

Follow the intersection rule which states that whoever, whether a car, pedestrian, or bicyclist reaches an intersection first with a stop sign has the right-of-way. Ensure you are alert when hitting Mount Vernon Avenue because it is heavily utilized by transit vehicles, pedestrians, and even bicyclists. When driving behind a school bus flashing red lights, you must stop at least 25 feet from it. Do not make any emergency vehicle stop with your vehicle; however, if you have an emergency and your car is parked on the shoulder or in an emergency lane on the highway, you can stop your vehicle in such cases.
  • Heavy traffic is a common challenge in Mount Vernon. The morning rush hours start from around 6 am, last to 9 am, and are more experienced from the afternoon to evening ones, which begin from around 3 pm and last until 6 pm The drivers in this city are known to be aggressive, especially those taking U-turns. This makes it more difficult for other drivers to maintain a safe distance between themselves and the vehicle in front, such as those turning right or left at intersections or entering on through roads such as Ben Lomond Parkway, State Route 2, and Roosevelt Drive. Therefore, visitors with car rentals in Mount Vernon should avoid these roads.

KAYAK

Pros:

Your ordering service is terrible. I went to pick up the car at the hertz rental and the office was closed. Your kayak service booked a vehicle at a closed location and i had to book another car with a different car rental company directly. I will never use your service again.

Cons:

Ensure your APIs check whether or not a car rental location is open before directing users to that location. Lots of locations have changed office hours due to covid19.

Pros:

Harís Was amazing how he greeted me he was very knowledgeable he showed me the car I was in a rush so he tried to do the work as fast as possible to get me out of there I’m just really impressed and because of the experience that he showed me, I will be a lifelong customer of Avis and leave budget Rent-A-Car. You guys are my new number one because of the treatment I received at that location by him.

Cons:

Absolutely impressed nothing could’ve been better that’s how amazing it was
