Hiring a car gives you the flexibility to tailor your itinerary and venture out at your own pace. You could drive to Sheffield Island, where you can hop on a ferry to Sheffield Island Lighthouse, where you can enjoy a guided tour of the lighthouse and the chance to picnic, while enjoying the beautiful views. While it's still accessible by public transport, having a car gives you the freedom to manage your time and avoid waiting for scheduled transport. Also, within an hour's drive, is the beautiful city of New Haven, home to Yale University. You can explore the historic Yale campus, visit the prestigious Yale Art Gallery, or enjoy a meal at one of the city's many excellent restaurants.
  • At John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York, car hire is provided off-site, rather than directly in the terminal buildings. After arriving at JFK, you should to head to the Rental Car Centre. To get there, you’ll need to go to Federal Circle Station, and take the airport's free AirTrain service, which connects all the terminals as well as the car hire centre. The AirTrain operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You’ll need to present your driving licence, passport, and credit card, so ensure you have them with you.

Cons:

Advertised cars online and they showed 5-10 cars available and booked a cart. 5 minutes later, the manager calls to say they are cancelling the reservation as they have no cars, yet they charged my card for the supplemental insurance.

Bad reception, information not clear, aggressive staff, all they want is to sale you extra insurance after they ask you to provide them with your own insurance and coverage and show them your insurance card to take a picture of it.. They wanted me to take the rented car with empty tank and return it with empty tank ( which is not easy to do ) instead of a full tank. Thant is all I can remember so this is the last time I rent with Entreprise !
