Top tips for hiring a car in Jersey Shore

  • Front row passengers should be in a seatbelt according to Jersey Shore laws. Also, passengers under eighteen should either be in a car safety seat or buckled up, regardless of their seating position in the vehicle. If you’re traveling with your kids, ensure that they are in a federally approved car or booster seat if they are below eight. Car seats are for kids five and below, and booster seats are used for kids between five and eight. You can rent a car or booster seat from Jersey Shore car rental locations.
  • You can pay for a Jersey Shore car rental using various payment methods, including credit and debit cards and cash. Credit cards are widely accepted at car rental agencies in Jersey Shore, including MasterCard, VISA, American Express, and Discover Network cards. Debit cards are also common, but debit cardholders must be at least twenty five and may be subject to a creditworthiness check. Also, only debit cards bearing MasterCard and VISA logos will be accepted. Cash will only be accepted when clearing any balances at the end of your rental period and not when booking a rental car in Jersey Shore.
  • Several Jersey Shore roads, often called “turnpikes,” have tolls. There are two ways of paying your toll; you can wait in line at the toll plaza and pay in cash or pay electronically using a toll pass. The latter is better than the former, and you can get one from any car rental agency in Jersey Shore for just a small fee.

FAQs about hiring a car in Jersey Shore

  • Should I hire a car in Jersey Shore?

    Not only are rental cars handy when in Jersey Shore, but they also have many benefits. The public transit system in Jersey Shore is okay, but its rigidity takes all the fun out of your trip to Jersey Shore. However, with a car rental, your trip would be hassle-free, comfortable, and convenient. One pro of getting a rental car is that it gives you the freedom to plan your journey as you see fit. A rental car also saves you time and allows you to explore and discover more. Moreover, through KAYAK, you can book your rental online and have it waiting for you when you arrive in Jersey Shore. And did we mention that Jersey Shore rental cars come with the latest features, including air conditioning, Bluetooth, GPS, and a great sound system?

  • What is driving like in Jersey Shore?

    Before driving around Jersey Shore in your new rental car, here are a few things you need to know. Stick to the right side of the road except when passing. It is illegal to use your cell when driving unless you’re using a hands-free device. Driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08% or higher is prohibited, and the offense comes with severe consequences. Ensure your headlights are on when visibility drops to less than 500 feet or when you have your windshield wipers on due to inclement weather. Always yield to pedestrians and emergency vehicles or school buses with flashing lights or an extended stop sign. Stick to 20 to 35 mph within city limits, 30 to 55 mph on undivided rural roads, 55 mph on divided rural roads, and 50 to 65 mph on freeways within and outside city limits.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in Jersey Shore?

    The minimum age requirement for Jersey Shore car rentals is twenty one. All eligible drivers will be required to present a credit card in their name as well as a valid driver’s license. Those between twenty one and twenty four are considered young renters, and a young renter’s fee is charged daily on these drivers. Moreover, young renters will not have access to vehicle classes in the catalog. They can rent all vehicle classes except full-size and premium SUVs, commercial and passenger van rentals, luxury and exotic models, and specialty or signature rentals.
