KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Union

  • If you love exploring different destinations, consider renting a car from one of the cheapest Union car rental agencies. With a rental, you can drive to any destination without limitations compared to public transportation like the metro buses, which might not work during weekends. You can drive yourself to the major historical sites within and outside the city center. For instance, you can drive to Liberty Hall Museum, which is 2.1 miles away from the city center, Caldwell Parsonage, and Boxwood Hall State Historic site, which is 4 miles away.
  • Choose Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) when traveling to Union. This is because you can conveniently rent a car as this airport has several car rental agencies such as Hertz, Avis, Budget and Payless.  These car rental agencies have counters right opposite the baggage claim area, and the ones that do not have desks here at the airport, like Enterprise, offer shuttle services to the pickup location. Some of the agencies offer these services at a fee, while others offer the same services for free. Therefore, ensure you confirm with the car rental agency you are using in advance.
  • Driving a car rental in Union is relatively easy since the roads are well maintained. Cyclists are also careful when riding on the roads. However, you should adopt the self-defense mechanism when driving on these roads. You should ensure your car is customized with a GPS system for easy navigation when driving downtown since some of their roads are one-way roads, and the turning points usually change. You should also watch out for pedestrians so that you don’t hit them. Finally, use the indicator to ensure the road users are always aware of your intentions.
  • Although driving a car rental in Union is easy, sometimes it is really hectic, especially during rush hours. Morning rush hour in Union starts at 6 am to 10 am and evening from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm. This occurs in different roads. For instance,  roads leading to the city center are usually affected by traffic since all commuters, service buses, and other cars are all heading in the same direction. You should also avoid driving near schools or campus during the morning drop off and evening pick up since there is congestion outside the school gate and premises.
  • Standard hire cars in Union are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average

If you are on a solo trip and staying within the city center, you can opt for a more compact car, it is easy to drive around the crowded city, and you can find a parking space where you can squeeze your car. You can also opt for an SUV if you are traveling with your family, it is usually comfortable and spacious and can accommodate a number of people plus luggage.

  • What is the speed limit in Union?

    The speed limit in Union varies on every street. If you are driving around or near the school, residential and urban areas, your speed limit should be 25 mph to 34 mph. And while driving on a highway, your speed limit should be 65 mph. The general rule, however, is that if you are not in a 65 mph speed limit zone, you should drive at 50 mph. Always ensure that you check the speed limit signs whenever you are driving to avoid driving at the wrong speed.

  • Where are the best places to park in Union?

    Apart from your hotel that may offer free parking space, for every other parking space in Union, you will have to pay to park your rental car. You can park at the airport that offers both long and short-term parking. There is also meter parking, garage parking and even street parking that are at affordable prices.

Reservation for Friday at 5pm - they wouldn’t open the door for me at 4:50pm - was left without a car.

Pros:

Nothing terrible experience

Cons:

Communication would have been better. The location I was picking up the car starting closing on weekends for covid. No one notified me, so I paid for. $20 Uber to show up to a closed business. Hertz shouldn’t had the common sense to call people who booked weekend pickups and reschedule them. Ridiculous
