Dennis&Sherry Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Would like to rent an economy car around 140th ave/7th st. The best daily rate I am finding is about 56.00 for an economy car for 2 days. What would be a fair offer in that overinflated market. Also, does renting at 8am the first day and returning at 7pm two days later mean three days rental since I went past the 8am rental time? Link to comment

Dennis&Sherry Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Sorry. 140th st and 7th ave is where we will be staying. Trying to find a car rental location near there Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 140th st and 7th ave is where we will be staying. :) I know you're asking for car rental help i this thread, but...Are you familiar with NYC and/or do you have a reason to be staying up in this area? (did you book direct? if so, is it cancellable) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Dennis&Sherry Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 We have been to NY before. We will be visiting family living on 140th St. and will leave for a couple days up the coast. Looking for an inexpensive economy car to rent nearby their residence. We have not booked anything yet. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 How important is budget for this rental?I think you'd save a fair amount if you're willing to leave the city and rent... there are Enterprise offices in Hoboken and Jersey City (Newport Mall), a Hertz location is Hoboken, and all of these would be easy to get to via mass transit. Other option is to take mass transit to the aiport and use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE for the rental.Not sure how far "up the coast" you're going, but another option is to take MetroNorth and then rent near the arriving train station.

Dennis&Sherry Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Good idea. I'll try to figure out what rental company might be along the line going north. We're headed up along the coast for a couple days to sightsee, maybe up to Boston?? Haven't been there before. Renting in Jersey City or Hoboken (in your neighborhood from your profile) sounds like a good option too. Link to comment
amyzoee Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I live in the city and since you are staying so far uptown it might be cheaper for you to take the bus to Fort. Lee NJ and rent a car there, as prices are pretty high in the city. Also if there is an ezpass option for tolls take it as people have to pay with cash tend to wait a long time. ezpass is compatible with boston's fast pass, so you can use it the whole way.
