  • When you fly to Scarsdale, you’ll likely land at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), about 28 miles from Scarsdale. After landing, you’re required to take the AirTrain to Station C/Federal Circle, as the car-rental counters are in the Arrivals terminals.

To get the best deals even before your flight, consider booking online through KAYAK, and compare the rates from all the rental companies to get the one that best suits you.
  • Driving car rentals in Scarsdale is easy, since roads in the city are generally well maintained and offer a smooth driving experience. Scarsdale affords a calm and relaxed environment, with motorists typically following traffic regulations. While bicycles are present on the road, they’re not super-abundant, and cyclists usually follow the traffic laws. Similarly, trucks are present in the city but not overwhelmingly common. Pedestrians generally respect traffic signals, reducing instances of jaywalking. The most common vehicles on the road are sedans, SUVs, and the occasional luxury car.
  • Although it’s overall an enjoyable experience, driving car rentals in Scarsdale, NY, can present you with some challenges. Rush-hour traffic, especially on weekday mornings (7:30 am - 9:30 am) and evenings (5 pm - 7 pm), can result in congested roads, particularly on major roads like Bronx River Parkway and Cross County Parkway.

They took a reservation for 6pm, which is when the office closes. I turned up at 6:10pm and obviously couldn’t pick up my booking as they were shut. I returned at 8am the next day and they wanted to charge me double the amount because I picked up on a different day. I was told nothing could be done about the rate in the office and I would need to call customer service, which I had done the night before, who had told me only the local office could do anything. On top of all of that, I was promised a call back from a manager to resolve the issue within 24-48 hours (which is rediculous when you only have the car for a day) and no one has contacted me. Terrible customer service and extremely frustrating. I won’t be using Avis again!

Pros:

Ease of access and the fact that the cost for gas was not jacked up Because the pickup spot was a gas station

Cons:

I could not add the rental car to my easy pass account and the idea of a convenience fee being tacked on makes no sense. I have been fined for using my ez pass on cars that were not in the account in the past and a car cannot be on more than one ez pass account at a time. You should eliminate the convenience fee permanently.

Pros:

Very upsetting experience. Between Kayak or the rental car place, they had the wrong information about my rental car drop-off. I ended up having to pay over $100 more on site because they didn't have the right information, and I obviously did not have any options since I was heading to the airport!
