First time @ EWR - rental locations?
Hi,
I'm about to venture into terriroty unknown to me (NJ). Does anyone know which car rental locations are most convenient? I'm arriving on an AS flight late in the evening. Judging by expedia's description, only Dollar has a location in terminal with the rest of the lot having to provide a shuttle to car. Only one (Payless) is listed as being "off-terminal" (I assume they also provide a shuttle?); they are, of course, by far the cheapest option. If, however, Dollar is indeed very conveniently located without a need for a shuttle, I'd consider them. Thanks for any advice. |

Avis, Budget, Dollar, Hertz, and National are all reached by a train ride
from the terminal. Enterprise you have to take a shuttle to. Not sure bout Payless. Map over at http://www.panynj.gov/aviation/ewrrentalcarsframe.htm "oracle_11" wrote in message ...

Alaska arrives in Terminal A. When you leave the plane, go down the
corridor. After passing security, turn right to the AirTrain - take it to the rental car area, which has Avis, Hertz, Budget, National, etc. all on the airport property.

most convenient is Avis/Hertz/National (for sure they are at the end of the
monorail and convenient (some others are there but those I know about because I've used them) Numerous others within 'easy distance" - read this as "off airport" pick up and delivery service. SOME of the off airport folks are a bit lower priced but not necessarily. Also - depending on where you are going when you leave EWR, expect to be confused in the roadway signage (about as bad as Boston, or sort of - took several trips before I got comfortable with the traffic - and NOT at night) READ THE MAP before you leave - it helps. Flying on AS (no departure time issues) won't be a problem but some of them close. "oracle_11" wrote in message ... Hi, I'm about to venture into terriroty unknown to me (NJ).

payless was up route 9 a little ways IIRC and is a difficult one to find
without the map (not that it's HIDDEN, just that the roads were a "bit" difficult to navigate. Also a bit difficult to get out of (not get on the road, just get in the direction you want to go IF it isn't SOUTH) depending on what direction you are going (I think it was payless I used last time) "Mike Cordelli" wrote in message m...

Newark is a mess! I'd suggest going off-site by air train or shuttle to
avoid some frustration. This is definitely one airport where on-site rentals aren't convenient, especially if you haven't been there before. oracle_11 wrote: Hi, I'm about to venture into terriroty unknown to me (NJ).

And yes, I've been there many many times. I have yet to see an airport (in the US) with worse signage during construction. |

The major rental companies are a five minute ride on the free monorail. Several more are off-airport. The roads around EWR are very complex; it's easy to get lost. More so off-airport than on, but you still have to watch the signs carefully. At least if you are in the airport complex if you miss a turn you can continue around the closed circular road and try again. Larry -- Larry Finch N 40° 53' 47" W 74° 03' 56" |
