Pros:
The drop off was great. Service in Atlanta was very fast and contactless. The rental hold money was returned quickly following drop off. The car ran fine.Cons:
The car was not very clean either inside or outside upon pickup. The car was not available at the pick up time and I had to wait about 45 minutes to an hour for a vehicle to arrive that I could use. The person checking me in was not forthcoming about the amount Alamo was going to charge my card which caused unnecessary confusion during pickup. I have used Alamo before and did not have any problems when renting in other states so my family will likely rent from them again in the future. Maybe it was the ERW airport having an off day.6,8 Okay

Apr 2021
Pros:
Like the Nissan RougeCons:
The inside windshield was covered with a residue film as if cleaned seemed to have been cleaned with a lysol wipe or something resulting in dangerous visibility; which became noticeable once out into traffic and nighttime headlights. Desperately trying to clean it with my sleeve, I missed the exit resulting in an unwanted late night tour through Newark. The agent at Newark was pleasant enough, though I had no instructions concerning dropbox drop off resulting in two trips of considerable distance from the rental lot at ABE at 11 PM. I’m sure there’s small print somewhere, but the price went from $81 to ringing up to $250, which the agent explained was $100 holding fee, hopefully refundable for my two hour rentsl.10,0 Wonderful

Mar 2021
Pros:
The line to pick up was very long. Then the only card I had was my debit cards. Even though I had a photo of my Mastercard they said they could not use it so I did not get to rent a car. Budget will take debit cards so I thought I would use Budget again, They were booked, which is why my son rented a car for me at Thrifty online using his card. Live and learn.Cons:

ion. I called and was told that the max. rental that Payless can do is 30 days and that if I wanted to extend to 7/16 that I would have to return to the airport and pay whatever the rate was at that time. Disgusted, I returned the car on 6/18 and was charged a higher rate than my confirmation.Sixt

May 2021
Pros:
Drop off was quick and painless. I think we waited about 25 minutes for the van to be ready at the Newark airport when we went to pick it up. We had a Chrysler Pacifica van and it ran well, got over 25 mpg driving fast, and the AC worked good.Cons:
On the downside, the third seat was elecric folding and it did not work properly. We had to manually push the cushions down to get a flat floor. For a long trip, the front seats in the Pacifica van are strictly mediocre, and the 2nd row seats are awful - like a padded jump seat. Too many gadgets. I will reserve final judgement on the billing for when we get the credit card statement.10,0 Wonderful

Mar 2021
Pros:
The car was spacious, the pickup representative was very kind despite our delay, as a van (which was reserved and needed for moving space) wasn't at first available and we had to wait. The car ran nicely and was very clean.Cons:
Transparency of cost. We just received our final charge and were surprised by a $150 cleaning fee, despite the car being perfectly clean upon returning it. This was not disclosed prior to our dropoff and really pushed the cost of this rental over the line for us financially. Had we known of so many surprise fees, we would not have booked at this cost.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Cons:
Please ensure that u add additional time to your booking in the beginning itself. They charged me for 2 whole additional days for returning the car about 3 hours late. Also, the Audi Q3 is not the best option for a long drive. The car hydroplaned massively on wet road conditions in upstate NY. Seat quality and ride quality left a whole lot to be desired.

Mar 2018
Pros:
the car was very old and was malfunctioning. I could barely drive up-hill as the engine was stalling. I had difficulty passing other cars as I couldn't accelerate due to engine problems, I guess? This car should have not been in service as it wasn't safe for the driver or for the passing traffic. Additionally, Ace charged me $350 on my credit card even though I prepaid for the rental. I never got a receipt for the charge and I'm disputing it with my credit card. Ace office was old and smelly, the employees were smoking cigarettes in the office. Terrible experience for a car rental. I will never use ACE againOne location in Newark Airport

Top tips for hiring a car at Newark Liberty Airport
- Getting car hire at Newark Airport is a great way to start your trip to New Jersey. Public transport in New Jersey is more focused on travel between New Jersey and other states like New York and Philadelphia and less so on travel within the state; this makes some places difficult to access using public transport. Your own vehicle will allow you to travel freely both within Newark and into the nearby states with total flexibility.
- If an easy and quick return is a priority for you then take advantage of the fact that many providers offering car hire at Newark Airport offer after-hours drop-off. If you choose this option, make sure you check the terms of the return thoroughly. Depending on whether your payment is hourly, daily, or weekly you may continue to be charged until opening the following day or for the full following day. Remember to check your vehicle thoroughly for any belongings before returning the keys and any necessary paperwork to the appropriate drop box.
- Most of the providers of car hire at Newark Airport are busiest between 12:00 and 16:00 so earlier in the morning or later in the day in the evening will be the best time to pick up and drop off your vehicle to avoid long queues. Luckily, most providers have long opening hours. For example, Budget opens at 06:00 and Alamo opens at 05:00 and both are open until 00:00. For complete flexibility, Avis is open 24h a day.
- Newark is a very large airport so be sure to take note of the location of your vehicle when you pick it up as you will likely need to return it to the same place. You may also wish to take note when you leave of the easiest way to get to the departures hall from the parking lot so that you can be confident in getting to your flight easily after you return your vehicle. Be aware that it is not permitted to park in front of, or next to, the terminal buildings at any time for any reason, even briefly.
- Book your car hire at Newark Liberty Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
