Accepted Answer

While parking in the city can seem like a daunting task due to how busy it is, there are plenty of parking garages and metered spaces for you to choose from when looking for parking for car rentals in New York. New York is a vibrant city that is known for having quite a few traffic hot spots on its main roads, like the Whitestone Expressway and the Hutchinson Parkway. Traffic tends to be heaviest in the early mornings and evenings, so try to avoid driving New York car rentals during these times. Car rentals in New York make it easy to explore some of the popular attractions in the surrounding region, like Cold Spring and Washington, D.C, which can be reached in just a few hours. While parts of the city are quite walkable or connected by public transport, a cheap car rental in New York can still be an easy and affordable way to travel between neighborhoods. It’s also particularly convenient during the winter months, as New York is known for having quite a lot of snow, which is not ideal for walking.

Question 18

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in New York City?

Accepted Answer

To be as safe as possible when driving a rented car in NYC, there are a few traffic regulations that you should keep in mind. For example, drivers are not allowed to stop in intersections when they cannot clear the intersection due to traffic. Children under the age of six are also required to either be in a child’s seat or booster seat, which you can add to your car rental. You must always stay a distance that is equivalent to two seconds from the car that is in front of you, and this distance needs to be increased during adverse weather conditions. You must always yield to pedestrians, even if they are crossing in an unmarked zone. Left-hand lanes are typically for those that are passing other vehicles, so try to stay in the right-hand lane when you are not doing this. If you have any doubts, check with New York’s department of motor vehicles to receive information on any traffic laws that may have changed.

Question 19

Those that will be driving to Canada will need to have a non-resident insurance card, while those going to Mexico will need to have Mexican Automobile Liability Insurance, both of which can be acquired through your chosen car rental company. Make sure to notify your car rental company in advance if you plan on crossing the border with your vehicle.

Question 20

Can you rent a rental car in New York without a credit card?

Accepted Answer

However, it’s important to note that in the state of New York, it is illegal to refuse to rent a car to a customer just because they do not have a credit card. If you do not have a credit card, a rental company may require you to go through an additional screening process prior to picking up your vehicle, even for cheap car rentals in New York. Those that plan on paying with an alternative method should always check with their chosen rental company a few days before their reservation begins in order to verify what the exact procedure will be. Keep in mind that the credit card, debit card, or check that is used for the booking will normally need to be in the name of one of the individuals that will be operating the vehicle. If you do not pay with a credit card, you may be asked to make a cash deposit.
