Driving in and around Newark International Airport

Car hire at Newark International Airport places you at the edge of the New York metropolitan area, where major highways converge. The New Jersey Turnpike connects the airport to north to south travel across the region. I-78 provides a direct link toward Manhattan or westbound routes into New Jersey. The airport's position works well whether your plans focus on New York City, northern New Jersey, or longer interstate drives.

Traffic in this region is more about timing than distance. Congestion builds around tunnel and bridge crossings into Manhattan, particularly on weekday mornings and late afternoons. Allow extra time if you are heading into the city and plan parking in advance, as garages are the simplest option. Tolls apply on many major crossings and highways, so check your route before setting off. Seatbelts are required for all passengers, and handheld phone use while driving is prohibited under New Jersey law.

A quick guide to Newark and beyond

Car rental at Newark International Airport gives you a flexible base for exploring both sides of the Hudson River without being tied to train timetables.

New York City

Manhattan is a short drive east, offering skyline views, museums, and neighbourhoods that are best explored on foot once you have parked.

New Jersey

Southern and western New Jersey opens up quieter towns, shopping districts, and green spaces that feel removed from the city's pace.

The Jersey Shore and Beyond

Coastal routes toward the Jersey Shore offer a change of scenery, while inland drives lead to parks and historic towns. Start early for longer outings and allow time for toll booths and peak hour traffic near major crossings.

Make the most of your time here with car hire at Newark International Airport from Hertz.

What Cars Can I Hire at Newark International Airport?

With Hertz car rental at Newark International Airport, it helps to choose a rental car based on your full trip, not just the first stop. Many trips from EWR include city driving, highways, and multiple stops, so comfort, space, and practicality all matter.

Availability can vary by date and time, but Hertz usually offers a range of vehicle types to suit different plans.

Compact and economy cars keep things light for city edges, quick hotel transfers, and tighter parking when you are traveling with fewer bags.
Sedans work well when you want a calmer ride and a proper boot for luggage, shopping, or work gear, without stepping up into a larger footprint.
SUVsmake sense when your day includes more passengers, more luggage, or longer drives outside the city core, where extra space pays off.
MPVs fit families and small groups who want flexible seating and one vehicle for everyone, especially when you are moving both people and bags.

Electric Car Rental at Newark International Airport

If you are flying into Newark and planning to drive around North Jersey or into New York, you have options. Hertz at Newark International Airport offers rental electric vehicles as well as hybrid options, so you can choose what fits your trip best.

If you want a lower-emissions drive and expect mostly city or short regional trips, an electric rental hire can be a great fit. If your plans include longer drives or a packed schedule with multiple stops, a rental hybrid can give you added flexibility while still improving fuel efficiency.

EV driving is also becoming more practical in New Jersey as charging infrastructure continues to expand through state-supported programs and investments. That wider charging buildout makes it easier for more travelers to consider an electric rental with confidence.

Hertz supports that shift by giving travelers more vehicle choices, including EV rentals and hybrid vehicles, at Newark International Airport.
