KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Staten Island

  • While the hilly New York City borough of Staten Island does provide visitors with public transportation through a network of bus routes, the bus schedules make most trips take almost double the time that they would when compared to the same journey via rental vehicle. Securing a car rental in Staten Island is critical if you want to maximize your time in the borough. What’s more, having a rental car in Staten Island provides you with easy access to other boroughs, as well as to the northern part of New Jersey.
  • If you are flying into the area, you’ll likely land at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)—both of which are located in New York City's Queens borough. Each airport has service desks for brand-name rental car companies like Hertz, National, Enterprise, Alamo and others. From LGA, you can expect all shuttles for car rentals to pick up and drop off at Terminal A—the shuttle will take you to the car park facilities for each of the companies, which are located in disparate areas throughout the airport’s property. If you have landed at JFK, simply take the AirTrain to the rental car location and head to level three to grab your vehicle.
  • Traffic in Staten Island, as with all the boroughs in New York City, is an unending stop-and-start race through traffic lights. While you are here, you’ll want to keep an eye out for drivers taking command positions on the roadways and let eager drivers pass. In areas where there are bars, restaurants and nightclubs, keep vigilant for pedestrians crossing the road, especially in undesignated areas.
  • While the borough of Staten Island is chockful of traffic most hours of the day, you can expect heavier traffic during rush hours. These hours typically range from about 6am until roughly 9am each morning. In the later afternoon to early evening, you can expect increased traffic delays between the hours of about 5pm to almost 8pm.
  • Compact hire cars in Staten Island are around 46% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Staten Island

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Staten Island?

    The roads in the borough vary in elevation and, like with most metropolises, the streets are quite narrow. These characteristics coupled with buzzing traffic make economy and compact vehicles two ideal options for a car rental in Staten Island. These vehicles will afford you greater agility and make it easier to squeeze into tight parking spots.

  • What’s the speed limit in Staten Island?

    Throughout the borough of Staten Island, you can expect speed limits on the higher side.

On other highly utilized roadways, you’ll find posted limits between about 35mph and 45mph. Residential areas will be around 30mph, or even as low as 25mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Staten Island?

    There are a number of parking lots and parking garages throughout Staten Island, allowing you to park and hop out to explore various neighborhoods and their local shops and restaurants.

You can expect parking to cost around $0.25 per quarter-hour, with a 14-hour maximum of around $8.

I spent over three hours going back-and-forth before I could get a car, because they did not honor the original agreement saying that it was Memorial Day weekend and they would charge me for Tuesday even though I was dropping the car off on Monday, it’s a scam. They said they had to create a new agreement and not use the old one, I now I have to call Budget customer service for a refund, the customer service office told me that I need to call after I complete my trip. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had renting a car.

Pros:

The mileage on the car was excellent.

Cons:

Guy at the front desk was incredibly nice when going to pick up the car. However, at drop off he was a completely different person. Picked up my rental and it had cigarette smell that increased overtime and the car said “Maintenance Required”. It drove well but he just waved his hands and said I’d be fine. Willing to give them another shot but you could tell they’re just there to collect a paycheck. Would be nice if these people cared more about the service. Especially since I brought up all those things, the response was “well what can ya do *shrug*. No compensation or anything. I guess you’re better off just going to enterprise.
