10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Manhattan

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for cost-effectiveness, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily charges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Manhattan?
You'll need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Manhattan. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Most companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to hire a car in Manhattan?
Be prepared to present your driver's license and a credit card at the hire counter. Prior to pick-up, check with your hire supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Manhattan hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to hire a car in Manhattan, check the terms and conditions of the hire companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unwanted surprises on pick-up, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Manhattan with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. Please read the regulations before booking!
