You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in New York?
If you're renting a car in New York or planning a big road trip in England, get ready to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in New York?
You can, and the great news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Explore our long-term car rental deals in New York and cruise off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a New York car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in New York often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape extra costs at the rental desk.
