Important information about Newark car rentals

Can I drive to other states, regions, or countries with a rental car from Newark?

Newark car rentals can largely be taken across state borders and international borders. Therefore, you can drive your rental car into Canada, although it’s difficult to cross the Mexican border. Furthermore, some vehicle classes, such as exotics, cargo van rentals, and large passenger van rentals, are not allowed to go beyond the international borders. You’ll need to notify car rentals in Newark, including Dollar, Alamo, and Budget, of your plans to travel into Canada for them to issue you a Canadian non-resident insurance card for free. Most car rental locations in Newark don't allow travel into Mexico, but those that do will require an additional insurance package to secure your vehicle to drive in Mexico.

Can you rent a car in Newark without a credit card?

Yes, you do not need a credit card to get some cheap car rentals in Newark. Still, most outlets prefer payments by credit cards. Debit cards offer another alternative payment method for car rentals in Newark. Operators like Dollar, Alamo, and Budget accept debit cards but this comes with the rigor of a creditworthiness check, and you must meet certain requirements. First, you must be age 25 and older to pay with a debit card. Secondly, your debit card must have your name. Additionally, paying with debit cards limits you to renting specific cars, like luxury car rentals and electric car rentals. Also, you can make cash payments at some rental companies like Advantage, but only for clearing any balances or rental period lapses.

What driving laws should I know about in Newark?

When driving in Newark, ensure that any passenger in the vehicle that is 8 years or older must use a seatbelt in accordance with New Jersey law. Those aged eight and below must be in a safety or booster seat, while those below four should be in a rear-facing safety seat. Stick to the right side of the road when driving car rentals in Newark. You can make right turns on a red light and turn left on a red light if you're approaching from a one-way street and entering another one-way street. Headlights should be turned on around 30 minutes before dawn, and about 30 minutes after dusk. It’s an offense to drink and drive in Newark, and driving with a BAC higher than 0.08% attracts a penalty. Maintain 25 mph when driving within a residential or business district and school zones. In some low-density business and residential districts, stick to 35 mph. Before driving a car rental, remember to check with the Newark DMV for any updates on traffic laws.

What documents does an international traveler need in order to rent a car in Newark?

If you’re an international driver searching for Newark car rentals, you must meet the age requirements in addition to having a credit or debit card bearing your name. Furthermore, international drivers must be at least 21 years or older and possess a valid driver's license from their countries of origin. The license must be in your name with your picture on it. Where the license is in a different language from English, you’ll need an international driving license for translation purposes. Those with challenges in securing an international driving license should attach a professional type-written translation driver's license. Companies in Newark won’t allow you to rent a car in Newark using an international driving license, photocopies of your driver's license, or learner's permits.
