KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Toms River

  • Choosing car hire in Toms River, New Jersey, will give you the freedom to explore this scenic North American area on your own terms. Although New Jersey does have public transport options, services do not often cover more rural areas and you may have to make changes or wait for connections between buses and trains, adding to your overall travel time. Hiring a car in Toms River will also allow you to see fantastic locations, like Beach Island State Park on the Jersey Shore and Forked River Mountain, which are not easy to reach on public transport.
  • Toms River is located near three international airports: John F Kennedy Airport (JFK), La Guardia Airport (LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). If you want to get your trip underway as soon as you land in New Jersey, you will find car hire desks located at all three airports. Passengers arriving at JFK Airport can access the car hire desks inside the Arrivals terminal, near the luggage collection area. Meanwhile, if you fly into La Guardia, you’ll find a shuttle bus stop for the car hire centre located outside all terminals. For Newark Liberty Airport, car hire desks are located inside Station Car Park 3, which can be reached on the airport’s AirTrain.
  • Driving around Toms River and the wider New Jersey area is a great experience because American roads are generally spacious and well-maintained. The driving culture is not usually aggressive unless you venture into nearby cities, like New York. Some local driving rules may be quite confusing to visitors. For example, when you’re driving in America, you are allowed to turn right at traffic lights after giving way, even when the light is red. You may get honked at if you sit in the right lane at red traffic lights without moving. However, turning right on red is not permitted in New York City. If you’re visiting Toms River in winter, you should also keep your eye on the weather forecast, as roads around New Jersey can be prone to snow and ice.
  • When you choose car hire in Toms River, you can usually expect a lot of traffic congestion on Route 9, which leads up towards New York. This route will often be especially busy during the weekday rush hour, which usually falls between 07:00-09:00 and 16:00-19:00. Coastal roads heading north from Toms River, like the 70, 35 and 36, are generally quieter than the highways. You will not find too much traffic congestion in Toms River itself, and State Highway 37 is usually fairly clear.
  • Compact hire cars in Toms River are around 47% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Toms River?

    The well-maintained roads in and around New Jersey give you plenty of flexibility when it comes to booking Toms River car hire. The spacious highways are great for driving a large vehicle or a standard-size car. Large vehicles may be a good option if you want to drive on the Jersey Shore, as it will give you lots of height to take in the Atlantic views. Some areas along this coastline can also be prone to flooding, so a larger car will be easier to drive through waterlogged areas, although this is mainly a concern during the winter months.

  • What is the speed limit in Toms River?

    The speed limit in North America is displayed in mph, making it easy for UK drivers to follow the road signs. In urban areas, the speed limit sits at 25-35 mph. Meanwhile, on state highways, the speed limit usually ranges from 50-65 mph. Make sure you watch the speed limit signs while driving, as the limits can vary across different areas.

  • Where are the best places to park in Toms River?

    When you choose car hire in Toms River, you will find plenty of cheap central car parks where you can leave your car while you’re out and about. Parking in Toms River usually costs around $2 (£1) for a 2 hour stay. However, you may need to return to your car after this time period, as it can be hard to find parking spots in New Jersey that allow for longer stays without a resident permit.
