Rental Qualifications and RequirementsWhether you're visiting the area on business or exploring the city and the surroundings for fun, hiring a car from Newark International Airport will help you pack as much into your trip as possible. We'll make sure you're out on the road in no time at all.
Newark Airport stands right on the border of the states of New York and New Jersey – a comprehensive network of roads means it's easy to navigate your way into either state. Take the NJ-21 N and you'll be in the city centre within 20 minutes. To head into New York City, you'll need to cross over the Hudson River. The Varrazano Narrows Bridge will lead you into Brooklyn, the Holland Tunnel takes right to Soho and you can drive through the Lincoln Tunnel into the Midtown area.
Standing at the heart of such a major urban area, Newark has a host of interstates passing through. You’ll be able to quickly drive onto the I-95 heading south-west to Trenton or heading north-east up the coast. The I-278 crosses Staten Island and the I-78 heads east into NYC or west to Allentown. Take Route 9W out of the city and you'll be able to explore New Jersey's northern coastline.
Inner-city Newark is similar to many other large cities within the USA, following a grid-pattern road layout which is efficient and easy to drive around. Many of the driving laws are the same or similar to the rest of the USA as well, you can view all the driving rules and regulations for Newark and the surround New Jersey State here.
A city in its own right, Newark sets itself away from the melting pot of NYC, thanks to its tranquil retreats and relaxing atmosphere. The Garden State’s largest urban area also includes a lively university and acts as the headquarters of educational and commercial organisations. But with your hire car from Newark International Airport, you'll be able to take in everything New Jersey and New York have to offer too.
Although it's the largest city in New Jersey, you'll be able to find peace and quiet throughout Newark thanks to its beautiful parks. It’s refreshing to find one of the city's main attractions is Branch Brook Park, a huge area of greenspace. The old Victorian public area covers a massive 360 acres and contains more than 4,300 cherry trees, the largest collection in the US. It’s one of America’s largest urban parks and not surprisingly there’s a spectacular cherry blossom festival each April.
Alongside the park, look out for the Gothic Basilica of the Scared Heart. This impressive Roman Catholic Cathedral is one of the largest in the country and is home to one of the largest pipe organs too.
For those looking to try their hand at true American sports like baseball or basket, head to Independence Park, where'll you find a fantastic neighbourhood greenspace fit with great sporting facilities.
Newark offers a unique blend of historic attractions and modern day masterpieces, making it a great city to explore. A Victorian mansion, John Ballantine House, is a glorious antique-filled landmark set in gardens and demonstrates the wealth of this brewery-owning family. It even has its own 18th-century schoolhouse and is one the city's more popular attractions.
Into the modern day, the New Jersey Performing Arts Centre is the heart of the cultural life of the region. This world-class waterside venue has entertained more than nine million visitors since it opened. Try to get tickets for events and even if you can’t, the daytime behind-the-scenes guided tours are almost as entertaining. Nearby you’ll be able to appreciate the impressive collection at Newark Museum, a grand complex including 80 galleries, a zoo, and sculpture garden, all of which you can take in at your own pace.
Newark makes a convenient base to explore New York from - without the liveliness of the city that never sleeps. You can drive across the Hudson Bridge to explore NYC’s world-famous sights. Make the long climb up the stairs of the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center to witness breath-taking views across all of the Big Apple, or spend an afternoon soaking up the atmosphere of Times Square. Take a boat tour out onto the open waters and explore the history of Ellis Island, and get up close and personal with the biggest lady in NYC – the Statue of Liberty.
For a relaxing retreat, head right across to the east of New York in your hire car and visit the Hamptons. This coastline resort is the perfect hotspot to enjoy the sandy beaches and sunshine, as well as offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city centres of NYC and Newark.
Hertz is a great company, takes a very long time to get to the rental place. When I returned the car it has taken 35 minutes to get with the shuttle to the terminal
Hertz Customer
Better than average experience. Came in on a red-eye and our name wasn’t on the board. Had to go back inside but no line since it was early. Agent helped get us situated quickly and was friendly especially for 5am. Signage getting back to return at the airport sucks but that’s not the fault of Hertz. Overall positive.

Great and helpful workers and an awesome fleet of cars.

Please proceed to the Newark Airport Airtrain stations located on the concourse level, which is one level above baggage claim, in
each terminal. Airtrain will transport you to the Hertz facility. You do not require an airline ticket in order to use the Airtrain..
Note - If the Airtrain is not operational for any time period, the Port Authority is responsible for providing alternative transportation which will be indicated by additional signs at the Airtrain stations.
The Airtrain is part of the New Jersey Transit and Amtrak train systems. One of the points serviced by this rail line is the Newark Airport. A new terminal was built at the airport to service airport arrivals on the Airtrain. Access from the airtrain terminal into the airport is via a turnstile, which has an access fee of USD 5.00. However, you may gain access with your airtrain ticket and waive that fee. There is no fee to use the in-airport Airtrain, formerly called the Monorail.
A valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence must be presented at the time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended. In all cases, a valid driver's license issued from your home country must be provided, whether or not you possess an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to rent a Hertz vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.
International customers renting in the U.S. are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.
Mobile/Digital Driver License
A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and Hertz customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.
Rental of a 15-passenger van in California requires a commercial driver’s license to transport a non-profit group or for commercial use. The commercial driver’s license requirement does not apply to personal use. 15- passenger vans may not be used to transport passengers for hire.
Rentals have a grace period of 29 minutes.
Optional coverages do not have hourly charges/grace period, but are charged as a full day.
Extra hour charges will be incurred at the 30 minute mark if the vehicle is returned more than 29 minutes past the original rental time.
If renting in California:
Hertz provides no liability protection under the terms of the Rental Agreement to the renter from claims of injury by others against you resulting from an accident. Your personal/business insurance may cover your liability. Exceptions: Hertz will provide primary liability protection up to the statutory minimum limits to international customers (driver's license indicates an address outside the USA) renting in California. Please also refer to Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) below.
If renting in Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia:
Upon signing the Rental Agreement, Hertz provides primary liability protection. However, such protection is generally no more than the minimum limits required by individual state law. See Financial Responsibility Limits by State.
If renting in any other state in the U.S.A.:
Hertz' liability protection is secondary to any other insurance coverage available to you. If you do not have liability insurance and/or the limits of liability of the insurance coverage available to you are not sufficient to cover claims by others against you, and Hertz, as the vehicle owner, provides liability protection due to an accident, you will indemnify Hertz for any and all payments made.
However, Hertz makes available additional liability protection, which is primary, if the optional Liability Insurance Supplement, LIS, is purchased.
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS)
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) provides coverage for you and other authorized operators of your rental vehicle for third party claims.
LIS is primary protection to customer’s personal policy and provides the first $1,000,000.00 of combined bodily injury and/or property damage protection for each occurrence regardless of the state in which the accident occurs. On rentals in California and Florida the maximum combined single limit is $2,000,000.00 for liability protection only.
LIS provides up to $1,000,000.00 of Uninsured/Underinsured protection for bodily injury sustained while driving the rental vehicle.
There are some exclusions to this coverage, which we feel you should know. Under LIS, in the event of an accident, you will not be protected for third party liability:
LIS is third party liability coverage only, except where permitted by law or pertaining to Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. LIS does not cover personal injury to you or any authorized operator of the rental vehicle or to your or their family members who are related by blood, marriage or adoption and reside in your or their household.
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
In most states, in the event of any other loss or damage to the car, regardless of fault, your financial responsibility extends to the full value of the car at the time of rental, less its salvage value, plus expenses for towing, storage impound fees, an administrative fee and a reasonable charge for loss of use. If your responsibility differs in the state in which you rent, it will be stated in Paragraph 4, of the Rental Agreement. In California, in the event of any loss or damage to the car regardless of fault, your financial responsibility will in no event exceed the fair market value, plus actual charges for towing, storage, impound fees, and an administrative fee. In California and Nevada, your responsibility for loss or damage to the car from vandalism unrelated to theft will not exceed $500.00 in California and $2,500.00 in Nevada and you are not responsible for theft, regardless of purchasing LDW, unless the theft results from your fault.. In Illinois, your responsibility for loss or damage for any cause other than theft is limited to $15,500.00. Loss or damage related to theft is limited to $2,000.00, unless the theft results from your fault. In New York, your financial responsibility shall not exceed (i) the actual and reasonable costs that Hertz incurs to repair the car, including costs for towing, storage and impound fees or that Hertz would have incurred if the car was repaired or (ii) the fair market value of the car immediately before the damages occurred, as determined by the applicable market for the retail saleof the car less disposal proceeds. Your responsibility for theft of the car shall not exceed the reasonable costs incurred by Hertz for loss due to theft up to its fair market value, if it is established that you or any authorized operator failed to exercise reasonable care or aided or abetted in the theft.
F.Y.I. – You are under no obligation to purchase LDW or any other optional service as a condition of rental. Your own personal insurance may provide protection for loss or damage to the rental vehicle depending on the state in which you live and the type of policy you have. Also, various credit card companies provide cardholders with some degree of damage protection providing you use their credit card for the rental and decline the optional LDW offered by Hertz at time of rental. The coverage and limits vary. Your policy or credit card coverage should be thoroughly checked for the specific terms and conditions associated with rental vehicles. Remember, most credit card insurance is supplemental, which means it will only reimburse you for loss or damages over and above what is covered by any other insurance you may have and will not cover you for any damage, regardless of cause, if you accept LDW.
Adding LDW after car is on rental:
You may not change the option once the rental has begun, without returning the car and starting a new rental agreement. This will result in the contract being closed out and charges being assessed for the time the vehicle is kept at least 1-day minimum, and a new rental contract will begin.
Cancellation of LDW - New York rentals only:
On New York rentals only, LDW may be cancelled at no charge, within 24 hours of its purchase provided the renter (i) has rented the car for 2 or more days; (ii) appears in person at any Hertz rental location with the car, which shall be subject to inspection.

Personal Effects Coverage (PEC)
Personal Effects Coverage (PEC), offered in combination with PAI, is an option that insures against risk of loss or damage to help protect your personal belongings while renting from Hertz. By electing PEC you will be insured throughout the entire rental period. PEC is insurance protection and pays in addition to any other policy you may have (such as a Homeowner’s policy). However, your benefits provided by other coverage may be affected by the PEC benefit. PEC insurance coverage includes those personal effects owned by you and those members of your immediate family traveling with you during the rental period who are permanent residents of your household. PEC does not extend to non-family members traveling with you.
Coverage Per Person | Minimum | Maximum |
New York & Washington | $600 | $1,800 |
