The Ultimate Guide to Renting a Car in Newark

Renting a car in Newark can be a convenient way to explore the city and its surrounding areas. At Bookingautos, we're committed to helping you find the best car rental deals from both international and local companies. Here's your ultimate guide to renting a car in Newark:

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Consider your needs when selecting a car. Factors to keep in mind include:

  • Number of passengers
  • Amount of luggage
  • Planned activities (city driving vs. road trips)
  • Fuel efficiency
  • Budget

Booking in Advance

To secure the best rates and ensure availability, it's recommended to book your rental car in advance. This is especially important during peak travel seasons or if you require a specific vehicle type.

Airport vs. Off-Airport Rentals

While renting at Newark Liberty International Airport can be convenient, off-airport locations may offer lower rates. Compare prices and consider factors like shuttle services and operating hours when making your decision.

Understanding Insurance Options

Familiarize yourself with the insurance options available. These may include:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
  • Liability Protection
  • Personal Accident Insurance
  • Personal Effects Coverage

Check if your personal auto insurance or credit card offers rental car coverage to avoid duplicate protection.

Inspecting the Vehicle

Before driving off, thoroughly inspect the rental car for any existing damage and ensure it's documented. This can prevent disputes upon return.

Exploring Newark and Beyond

With your rental car, you'll have the freedom to explore Newark's attractions, including the Newark Museum of Art and Branch Brook Park. You can also easily venture to nearby destinations like New York City or the Jersey Shore.

Returning the Car

Plan to return the car on time and with a full tank of gas (if required by your rental agreement) to avoid additional charges. Allow extra time for the return process, especially at busy airport locations.

By following these guidelines and using Bookingautos to compare offers, you'll be well-prepared for a smooth and enjoyable car rental experience in Newark. Happy driving!

Book a car in advance

Newark is a popular holiday destination and the car rental service is in great demand here. Therefore, it is recommended to book a car in advance. When booking online, you know exactly which car, for what price and under what conditions you will get in Newark. The main advantage of early booking is the cost savings. The less time left before the start of the rental, the higher the cost of the rental becomes. The optimal period for booking in rental companies is 6 weeks before receiving the car. If you book early, two days before receiving the car, you can cancel the order without any penalties.

Which car to choose

Tourists who expect to drive only around the city and its immediate surroundings prefer to rent compact cars, Citroen C1 or VW Polo. For trips to the mountains, you need a car with increased power. You should go on such a trip with a full tank, as fuel consumption in the mountains increases one and a half to two times. An all-wheel drive crossover would be the ideal car for this. Renting Ford Foxus Estate in Newark will cost €32 per day.

What you need to pay attention to when receiving a car

Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery. You should check the ignition and the fuel level in the tank. You need to know the conditions for returning the car - where exactly, with what amount of fuel to return the car.

The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company. It is designed so that customers can get help in emergency situations, such as when a car breaks down or in the event of an accident. A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.

Insurance advice

Rental companies in Newark may offer different insurance options. They differ in price and set of options. Here are the basic types:

  • Third Party Liability (TPL)/Third Liability Protection (TLP). This is a third party liability protection. If you are the culprit of an accident, the insurance will compensate for the costs of the victims for you.
  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). This is to protect your vehicle from any damage. She works with a franchise. This is the amount that you will have to pay in case of damage in any case. The company will cover anything over the limit. The insurance does not cover theft.
  • Theft Insurance (TI)/Theft Protection (TP)/Theft Waiver (TW). This is car theft protection. Operates with a franchise.
  • Super Loss Damage Waiver (SLDW)/Theft Protection+Collision Damage Waiver (TP+CDW). Full protection against theft and damage, even if you are the culprit of the accident.
  • Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). This is medical insurance for the driver and passengers.

If you want to save money and choose the cheapest insurance, carefully inspect the car upon receipt. Make sure the machine is not damaged. Newark 2

Fuel prepayment terms

When you pick up your car, you may be asked to pay for a full tank of fuel right away. This condition will suit you if you plan to travel long distances. For a couple of trips around the city, you don’t need so much fuel, and therefore it doesn’t make sense to overpay. Pay attention to the fuel policy when booking a car. If necessary, use the special filter to select the most convenient option for you.

Unlimited mileage

The rental company may set a daily mileage limit. You will have to pay extra for exceeding the limit. Please check this condition before booking. It is possible that a more expensive rental option will turn out to be more profitable in the end: it will not require any additional expenses. To filter cars with unlimited mileage - use the "Mileage" filter in the search results.
