Car hire at Newark Airport

With many major companies available at the airport there should be one with a special offer to suit your needs. Alamo offers an Accelerated Check-In where you upload your documentation online and have it verified before you go to the service counter. Thrifty offers a similar service called Thrifty Timesaver. If you would prefer to skip the counter altogether Alamo also offers self-service kiosks which will help you avoid long queues. National allows the hirer's spouse to be added as an extra driver at no extra cost.

Car hire at Newark Airport is located just outside the airport, but because the building is large with multiple terminals, it is easiest to take the internal train to reach them. When you arrive at the airport and collect your luggage follow the signs to the AirTrain and take it to Station P3. The train departs every three to five minutes between 05:00 and 21:00. Outside of these hours the train is replaced by a shuttle. Head to your provider's service desk or self-serve kiosk and present your documentation. Once your booking has been processed you will be directed to your vehicle at a nearby parking lot.

To pick up your Newark Airport car hire you will need a driver's licence. This can be a foreign licence as long as it is in English. If your licence is in another language, it is recommended that you obtain an International Driver's Licence which must be presented along with your normal licence. It is not always required that you present your passport, but some companies will request it, so we recommend having your passport, or another form of government-issued identification on hand.

Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Newark Liberty Airport to off-airport locations include Ace, ADDCAR RENTAL , Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Europcar, and Hertz.
