KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Smithtown

  • Using car rentals in Smithtown offers numerous advantages that set it apart from alternative transport options. The convenience of having a vehicle at your disposal grants the freedom to explore the city and its surroundings on your own schedule without being tied to public transportation schedules. Whether for business or leisure, renting a car in Smithtown promises a personalized and efficient way to navigate the area. With Smithtown car rentals, you can visit areas like the scenic Nissequogue River State Park, the historical Caleb Smith State Park Preserve, and the charming town of Stony Brook.
  • When visiting Smithtown, you have three airport choices for landing: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark Airport (EWR). To get to the automobile rental desk after landing at JFK, use the Air Train to Station C/Federal Circle. The automobile rental desk at EWR is conveniently situated close to station P3, which is reachable by Air Train from Terminals A, B, or C. Shuttles for renting a car are provided at LGA to take you to Terminal A, where the counter is located.
  • The generally calm and relaxed driving style makes driving car rentals in Smithtown easy. Drivers tend to respect traffic rules, contributing to a safer environment. While occasional impatient instances exist, aggressive driving is less prevalent compared to busier urban areas. Bicycles and pedestrians are standard, given the town's suburban nature, yet motorists generally accommodate them. Standard vehicles on the road include sedans, SUVs, and some pickup trucks, reflecting the town's suburban character and lifestyle.
  • Difficulties of driving car rentals in Smithtown can arise during rush hours, typically in the mornings (7 am to 9 am) and evenings (5 pm to 7 pm) when increased traffic congestion occurs along major routes like Jericho Turnpike and Route 25. Navigating through these areas might require extra patience and time. The presence of school zones and pedestrians during certain hours could demand heightened attention. While Smithtown generally maintains a calmer driving atmosphere, being mindful of peak traffic times and pedestrian-heavy zones is crucial for a smooth car rental experience.
