  • When you fly to Scarsdale, you’ll likely land at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), about 28 miles from Scarsdale.

Car was fine, but not as described. Budget was not helpful. Delayed me by almost more than 3 hours and made me late to the funeral I needed to go to. Which was why I was renting a car in the first place.

I liked the staff they were really friendly and informative. The vehicle had a funky smell, staff probably had nothing to do with it and also felt like the price was too high for the vehicle
