KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Rahway

  • Driving car rentals in Rahway, New Jersey is a convenient method for getting around this bustling city south of Newark. In Rahway car rentals, you can reduce your commute time compared to using public transportation and visit people and places without having to conform to a set transportation schedule. You can take in the local sites, including Hawk Rise Sanctuary, Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, and the Dr. William Robinson Plantation and Museum. In car rentals in Rahway, you can drive north of the city to Yonkers, west to Allentown, south to Trenton, or east to Staten Island.
  • About 15 miles north of Rahway, Liberty Newark International Airport (EWR) makes it easy and convenient to rent a car when you fly in to visit Rahway. From any terminal at EWR, you can take the AirTrain to Station P3 to find all of the car rental agencies. About 35 miles east, the John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) also makes it easy to secure a rental car. You'll find rental car counters in arrivals near baggage claim, and then you can pick up your vehicle at the station called Federal Circle on the AirTrain. About 45 miles northeast of Rahway, LaGuardia Airport (LGA) provides complimentary shuttles at the arrivals curb to the car rental agencies on-site at the airport.
  • The streets of Rahway are sometimes somewhat narrow, but in general, well maintained. Because Rahway is not far outside New York City, anyone driving car rentals in Rahway will encounter congested traffic during peak rush hours of about 6 am to 9:30 am and then from 3:30 pm to 7 pm. From November to March, those driving car rentals in Rahway might very well encounter snow and ice. Drive cautiously and make sure you have full visibility before you start your rental vehicle. If you need to take extra time to clean snow, ice, and frost off your car, definitely do it.
  • When you are driving around Rahway, New Jersey, you'll undoubtedly run across several toll roads and bridges. People often try to electronically pay tolls with their own transponders, even when they're in a rental car. However, this can be problematic and cause you to get expensive fines. When the name on the account for the EZPass does not match the name corresponding to the car’s license plate, the toll payment very often does not register, and that's when you get slammed with extra costs. Give consideration to purchasing the toll program offered by your rental agency in order to avoid unexpected fees.
  • Book your car hire in Rahway at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I reserved a suburban, which was confirmed the day before. I arrived on time to pick it up and they didn't have one. They did offer me a different vehicle to rent but it wasn't what I needed.

Cons:

Picked up the car and it was given a quick run through with a rag. Definitely was not cleaned. Cup holders still had rings from drinks. Seats were dirty. Went a few miles and the tire pressure light came on. Was contacted by someone who said they would offer a days credit. Never received the credit

Beware from this location. I booked a 7-seater SUV, but when I reached there, the person there offered me 5-seater rav4. He kept saying that it was also an SUV and I said I specifically wanted 7-seater. He made me realize that's there was no point to argue with him. I just booked a highlander from Budget in Westfield (awesome service). Only regret I have is I wasted an hour here and I would never rent from this location.

Cons:

First of all, I booked for SUV but they provided me Dodge Caravan (VAN). I contacted Hertz corporate support couple of times but they advise to call local facility without giving any proper resolution. The next morning (Saturday) went to office and found they were closed on weekend. So I had to deal with the VAN that I didn’t book. I registered SUV for a reason and they ruined my trip. I spoke to local Hertz manager when went to return the VAN . He tried to convince me without acknowledging that was their fault and was questioning why I felt uncomfortable with the given car. Just not argue with him, accepted $65.00 vouchers. This is the worst experience I ever have with the car rental company named HERTZ. Wish them good luck.

The location is hard to find, the booth is tucked away inside a hotel lobby. No exterior signage that was clear to find the location, had to ask multiple people if they knew where the desk was and most people did not.
