2.0 Mediocre13 Oct 2020
Pros: Uh, the entire location was CLOSED at my confirmed pickup time. I stood there with my luggage and my family with no car.
8.0 Excellent13 Oct 2020
Pros: Fast pickup, no long processing at the counter. Waited on immediately and car was ready, not complicated with a lot of questions. The actual drop off was fast, but the first problem occurred within 1 hour of drop off when I received the email itemizing the charges which was wrong.Cons: I was incorrectly charged for refueling two gallons of gas, even though I topped off the tank less than two miles from the rental car drop off location. When I FUELED the vehicle I clicked the pump 3 to 4 times to make sure the tank was topped off, and the fuel gauge read full with 350 miles of available range shown on the vehicles computer. I had to call to get this refuel charge removed. Now I’m worried about the EZ-Pass charges not being charged correctly.
6.0 Good12 Oct 2020
Pros: Car was ready on time and was pretty clean. Price was good.Cons: The pick-up location said not to worry about preexisting scuffs or scratches on the car because they were so small, but the drop-off location tried to pin those marks on me. Fortunately, I took a video of the car when I picked it up, proving the marks were already there. The drop-off location dropped the issue right away after seeing the video.
6.4 Good21 Sep 2020
Cons: The car reeked of cigarettes
8.0 Excellent17 Sep 2020
Pros: Pick up was really easy, manager was quick and professional, was able to help me out even after working hours (website didn't say they are closing after 5 now). The car was new, clean and comfortable. The drop off was a bit worse. Entrance was hard to find, but partially because of the construction going on. And then, at the drop off, they were not able to locate my trip. However, they didn't hold me for too long, said they will figure it out on themselves and send me email/Cons: Drop off instructions and process. Lower prices. Some kind of different tiers depending on the number of trips you do.
10.0 Excellent7 Sep 2020
Pros: The staff in New York was great!Cons: The car didn’t have a full gas tank but they gave us a $30 credit so it worked out okay.
8.4 Excellent9 Aug 2020
Pros: Customer service at pickup and drop off.Cons: There was a toll pass in the rental. Also the tire pressure felt to high.
9.6 Excellent8 Aug 2020
Cons: Print or Email receipt after returning the car.
10.0 Excellent28 Jul 2020
Pros: Everything was great! The staff, the car, everything!
10.0 Excellent13 Jul 2020
Pros: Easy pick up and drop off.Cons: I had picked a smaller car, but ended up with something bigger than I originally wanted but was very happy in the end.

Pros: Unlimited mileage, Quick and contactless drop off
10.0 Excellent25 Sep 2020
Cons: Newer car
8.4 Excellent9 Sep 2020
Cons: I wouldn’t have been allowed to pick up until late on the day of rental so had to pick up the day before and pay for overnight garaging
2.0 Mediocre9 Sep 2020
Pros: Nothing. Employees don’t know how to function under pressure. They were giving everyone an attitude. Lack of communication. They said they would call to verify everything and go over the whole reservation but instead they sent an email at 7:25pm when there would be no one to respond until the following business day, which would be the day of the reservation. I was also quoted 197$ online after taxes and ended paying 316$ without explanation, and no it wasn’t for the deposit because the total came out to 516$. Hillside establishment needs work.Cons: The overall experience.

2.0 Mediocre25 Aug 2020
Cons: Price quoted was not able to be honored at the location. Enterprise customer service said it was a valid booking. The branch made me rebook for a much higher amount
4.4 Okay22 Aug 2020
Cons: my contract specified a 11pm return but the place was closed with no after hours dropoff
7.2 Good17 Aug 2020
Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful, they didn't have the car at hand that we wanted and almost had no other options except for a massive SUV or a little corvette which wouldn't have worked. Luckily another customer happened to bring back a similar car to the one we were looking for when we were at the dealership and they agreed to give it a rush clean and to us.Cons: We booked the rental initially for 1 month and 7 days. The offer on Kayak suggested a flat-rate price, however at the rental place we were informed it was only going to cover 1 months and we'd have to extend by a manual 7 days afterwards which incurred a couple hundred dollars of additional charges. Not transparent, we would have chosen something else potentially if we'd have known.

Pros: The car was clean and comfortable.Cons: More openness as to fuel charges. When I asked if I needed to bring the car back with a full tank I was told if I drive more than 75 miles I would be charged $19.95. I used 1/4 tank and was charged over $40.00. NO BARGAIN THIS RENTAL.
2.0 Mediocre14 Oct 2020
Pros: easy to find the place

Pros: The vehicle was clean and the pick up was fastCons: They provided the wrong type of vehicle. I got a premium vehicle and was given a standard SUV with no refund
6.0 Good30 Sep 2020
Cons: They tried to charge me for hair in the car that was there when I picked it up, and charged me a fuel fee (since I didn’t provide a receipt for the gas I bought) despite returning the car with more gas in it than when I picked it up and the only thing telling me I might need to do this being very small, vague print on the form I signed at pickup.
2.0 Mediocre10 Sep 2020
Pros: Everyone I encountered was awfulCons: Renting from anyone else
4.0 Okay9 Sep 2020
Pros: pick up staff was quick. not necessarily friendly, but quick.Cons: the car was disgusting inside. it was clearly not cleaned (but the "this car has been cleaned" paper was placed inside) and it smelled. It still had someone's dirty mask in the backseat, dust/soot everywhere and dried snot on the dash/door.

4.0 Okay12 Aug 2020

10.0 Excellent19 Oct 2020
Pros: The 184th Street location is very fast and easy to work with; I cannot speak to any other location.Cons: A few more instructions about pick up and drop off would have helped. I didn't realize that if you were late to pick up, you might be charged a fee! (Late to drop off, sure, but pick up??)
8.0 Excellent19 Oct 2020
Pros: Good location,easy drop-offCons: Speaker on car audio was not working well.
2.0 Mediocre19 Oct 2020
Pros: Nothing. The staff was rude, unhelpful, terrible overall. I literally did not even get my car after waiting for four hours.Cons: Every aspect could have been better. They made me wait for four hours after my scheduled pick up time, at that point I didn’t even need a car anymore. When I asked to cancel, the attendant rolled her eyes at me, looked at her coworker and mocked me, and then failed to promise I would get my money back. They wanted me to continue to wait “another hour and a half” but also didn’t promise I’d ever get the car. So I left, and had to wait on hold with the corporate office, explain, and ask for my money back. This office on 76th st in Manhattan should absolutely not be in business and is a total scam.
2.0 Mediocre19 Oct 2020
Cons: Waiting for over 4 hours for my car. The rental location was a disaster. People were waiting there for hours and there were no cars. I am filing a formal complaint with Hertz. It was the worst rental experience of my life.
4.0 Okay18 Oct 2020
Pros: Waited 1.5 hours for a carCons: Faster check in / pickup, and longer times for drop off
10.0 Excellent14 Oct 2020
Pros: Drop off was super easy.Cons: Car could have had gas in it when we rented or a heads up. Was fine though with the gas station right around the corner.

Pros: Super friendly and efficient staff.Cons: Maybe get another person to make the process faster and to clean the cars
10.0 Excellent29 Sep 2020
Pros: The whole process was simple, but the part I really appreciate is that hours after I realized I left a bag in the trunk, I was able to call them and they had it ready and waiting for me. I felt pretty stupid, but they made me feel pretty special.Cons: Nothing
2.0 Mediocre27 Sep 2020
Pros: Didn't even get the car. The reservation costs hundreds of dollars more than it was supposed to and their card machine foolery wouldn't even let me pay. Ended up booking an emergency rental at Budget.Cons: The staff is awful, the policies are awful.
2.0 Mediocre22 Sep 2020

4.0 Okay12 Oct 2020
Pros: I was told when I arrived that the rental location had a shortage on vehicles and was advised to cancel my reservation if I did not want to wait around 2 hours for a return to come through. I went to all other rental car companies in the airport and no one was able to accommodate a last minute booking so was forced to wait and indeed ended up waiting 2 hours although I had made the reservation close to a week in advance. This was very inconvenient and I was not able to get to my destination in time.Cons: It would have been nice if I was contacted ahead of time to be notified of the shortage to have enough time to make alternate arrangements. Further, I checked Thrify's website and was still shown that vehicles were available. When I asked the customer service rep, she said their website was "broken". There were at least five other parties in my same situation at this location, each of which was frustrated and had somewhere to be.
2.0 Mediocre12 Oct 2020
Pros: NothingCons: Gave me a car with quarter of a tank and then charged me for 116 dollars for fuel.
4.0 Okay23 Sep 2020
Pros: The vehicle appeared to be in good shape and had been freshly washed (outside).Cons: The person checking us in was slow and the pickup was not at the office but at a garage across the street. The dropoff was weird too, since the office was closed during the day, because of changed hours due to Coronavirus. We just dropped the car off and some guy from another car company told us it would be OK and he'd take care of it. Overall, it was very expensive and I did not feel confident that we would not be charged extra for random things like not enough gas, scratches, etc., since there was not inspection before or after.
4.8 Okay23 Sep 2020
Pros: The vehicle was in perfect shape. It was not clear if the insides had been sanitized, however.Cons: The person checking us in was slow and the pickup was not at the office but at a garage across the street.

We just dropped the car off and some guy from another car company told us it would be OK and he'd take care of it. Overall, it was very expensive and I did not feel confident that we would not be charged extra for random things like not enough gas, scratches, etc., since there was not inspection before or after.
7.2 Good18 Sep 2020
Pros: Staff was great; car was great.Cons: Unauthorized charge for a damaged tire (?!!). Perhaps the staff at check-out should go over the car w/ clients prior to turning in the keys, as I was unaware of any damage done. I drove - no way to damage a tire wall by driving.
2.8 Mediocre16 Sep 2020
Pros: Drop off personnel was helpful.Cons: Rented one type of car and when I got there had to wait the original car was not available no incentive was offered for the mix up ended up paying more then originally planned for a smaller car. And car was dirty and empty on gas when received when I went to the counter to inform they answered that is all that was available.
9.2 Excellent9 Sep 2020
Pros: Pick up and drop off were SUPER convenient from 83rd street.Cons: The previous user of the car had clearly folded the seats down, making the seatbelts inaccessible. I didn't realize this at first, so we had to pull over to dismantle the backseat and find/pull through the seatbelts. There was some debris under the seats that showed that area wasn't part of the cleaning, so a bit more thorough "reset" and cleaning between drivers would be appreciated.
9.2 Excellent6 Sep 2020
Pros: Staff on site were excellent. Friendly and helpful.
5.2 Okay24 Aug 2020
Pros: The staff were friendly and helpful-we had no problems with them. The car, a Toyota Corolla was great. It was easy to get to from Manhattan and had cars available.Cons: The price quoted is a bare minimum price. What was supposed to be $560 ended up being $919. Some of it was insurance but none of that was transparent on the website. We were also told that if we wanted to use the EZ pass that is in the car (not our own) there was a mandatory fee of $139 to use it. We've rented from Avis and Enterprise and we never had to pay just to use the EZ pass, before the tolls. Then we were told since we did not want to pay that amount, that we get charged either $15 or $30 by EZ Pass itself every time we go through a toll-that is in addition to the toll itself. We were also charged for an additional driver each day, even though that person is my husband. We have not been charged at other rental companies for that, specifically because the other person is a spouse.
8.8 Excellent10 Aug 2020
Pros: The staff was helpful and kind! When a guy showed up without a mask, they told him he needed a mask. (I had been helped and was walking to my rental at the time, so I didn't see how this played out) Their attention to public health was very appreciated. Five stars for the staff.Cons: For Kayak, the taxes weren't clearly stated on our end, so I was caught off guard by the much higher number to pay.

Cons: Dollad didn't have cars when I went to pick up. 8 people were ahead of me. Some people havd been wa aiting for 2 hours. The manager called the distribution center and got no response so he couldn't even give everyone an answer when thd cars would get there. This was a Saturday of a long holiday weekend. I had a prepaid, nonrefundable reservation through Priceline. I called Priceline to complain ans asked the manager whether there's a car at their other locations. Hd found one fo rd m wes at Downtown. I took a taxi over. The manager of that location deducted th ed taxi fare from my remaining balance. However, I was 2-hour late in starting my vacation due to the snafu. I never heard an apology from the company, let alone any compensation.

2.0 Mediocre12 Oct 2020
Cons: The location did not have any cars in the face of multiple reservations given how many people were waiting outside the office. They told us cars were being brought from another location and it would be 30 minutes. This was not true. We waited over two hours for a car and would have waited longer if other people hadn’t canceled out of frustration in front of us. It got to the point that people were renting cars from other places on the spot, and canceling this reservation due to poor management. If you look on Google reviews, this location is littered with the same complaint I am describing. This is not a one-off event. I would caution anyone from renting from this location.

Plus the utter disrespect and rudeness at drop off was unacceptable.

7.6 Good4 May 2020
Pros: Staff was very helpful.Cons: Car had some wear & tear.. the price could have been lower to reflect the condition of the car.

Cons: Car was damaged in all 4 quarters at pickup. Also had a nail in one tire. They wouldn't answer the phone when I called to report it 5 min after pickup.
2.0 Mediocre24 Apr 2020
Cons: I was charged for a car I didn’t use. And now I cannot get a refund now matter how hard I try.
2.0 Mediocre22 Mar 2020
Pros: Location did not have car when I arrived, had to wait for about four hours at rental car location for a car. Once I picked up the car is smelled heavily of marijuana smoke, no discount was offered. Rental car location did not clean car, I had to disinfect the car myself. When I tried to return the car I called the location multiple times and they did not pick up, instead they sent me an email address to contact to contact the agency, I emails and have not heard anything back yet (it’s been two days). Horrible experience, I will not be using advantage again.
8.4 Excellent21 Jan 2020
Pros: Pick up and drop off was indeed super easy.Cons: I normally don't opt for prepaid fuel but when the question of prepaid fuel came up I said that would be convenient since I didn't know of a gas station nearby (I have never rented a car from JFK Airport before). It turns out there is a gas station one block away from the rental drop off. It could not have been easier to get gas. Seems like the nice guy at the desk could have pointed that out.
2.0 Mediocre9 Dec 2019
Cons: They had no cars. We had to call another company while we were waiting there for over 40 minutes with no cars in sight and others in line to get cars ahead of us.

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful on both pickup and drop offCons: Car was in very poor condition (breaks very worn, windows did not function properly, poor wipers, car smelled like smoke)
2.0 Mediocre29 Oct 2019
Cons: Google Translation: When I arrived at the rental, I was told that because I was driving less than 25, it cost me $ 560 instead of the 130 I ordered and paid - even though I specifically wrote in the reservation that I was 23 !!!

Pros: Staff was very good.Cons: There were so many hidden fees. Really should be disclosed on third party website. My initial quote was $168, and now my bill is close to $400. I also think I've been charged a random fee of $135, and can't see where this came from. I also haven't received my $200 deposit back yet. Also paid for insurance on Kayak, then was told I had to buy much more expensive insurance (again) when I got there in person. Really would like someone to contact me about my invoice because I don't understand all the charges!
2.0 Mediocre9 Oct 2020
Pros: The staff were kindCons: It was not clear to me that my card and license addresses needed to match if I was using a debit card and I needed to bring in a utility bill to prove it??? I was in tears. I clearly hadn’t read the user agreement as carefully as I should have. I had to cancel my rental and call around for another rental. I was in tears on the sidewalk with my belongings when I thought I’d have to cancel my trip.

Pros: YesCons: Car was not clean. Windows not clean. Garage elevators disgusting.
7.2 Good18 Sep 2020
Cons: there was only one person working at the time I got there to pick up the car and it took about 20 minutes to get my car. also finding the car was a real pain in the butt.
4.0 Okay14 Sep 2020
Cons: 1) I booked a standard car far in advance and when I arrived I was told they only had more expensive vehicles available. They gave me a small discount, but my take on it is that they overbook the standard cars even when they're not available and so people are forced into upgrading when they get there because you don't really have another choice. 2) The car was very dirty when I picked it up. There's no way it was sanitized, I'm not sure if they even cleaned it. The trunk had sand all over it and got on my bags. The rear seats had scuff marks all over the place which was easily wiped off - which tells me they didn't clean it at all. There was garbage in the glove box. There was caked on gunk all over the steering wheel and buttons. I literally spent half an hour just cleaning the inside of the car before I could even get inside because it was disgusting. 3) Dropping off the car took forever and was a nightmare because the instructions Sixt provided were incorrect. I was given a little card with instructions to drop off the car after hours (they close at 3pm on Sundays), which said to go to the parking garage at 70 Greenwich street, go up to the 2nd floor then follow the Sixt signs to the 6th floor and park there then drop the keys in the drop box on the ground level. I went into the parking garage at 70 Greenwich and went up to the 2nd floor but the Sixt signs pointed into a closed off area for construction (on the 2nd floor). I then drove up to the 6th floor and saw no signs for Sixt whatsoever on that floor. That floor is filled with MTA vehicles. After driving around for about 20 minutes I decided to just park the car on the 2nd floor near the Sixt signs. I took the elevator down to the ground level and didn't see a drop box or any Sixt signs so I asked a security guard at the garage for help. He said I was in the wrong building and needed to park the car across the street in a different garage. I showed him the card Sixt gave me and he told me those instructions are incorrect and that he deals with this all the time because Sixt doesn't tell their customers what to do and they have terrible signs. I went up to the 2nd floor with him and he showed me that you would normally drive through where the construction is to get to the other side, then drive up to the 6th floor to find the spots to drop off the car but you can't get through right now. He told me to drive up to the 6th floor, then drive through the MTA only area until I get to the other garage and find the Sixt spots. Sure enough, I followed his directions and found the correct spot. I wasted about 40 mins and had to spend another $20 on an uber because Sixt couldn't put up some signs and/or provide proper directions.
5.6 Okay31 Aug 2020
Pros: The staff at pickup and drop off was exceptionally niceCons: The car I got was disgusting. It was very evident that the previous drivers had a little kid that seemed to have a stomach issue. There were bits and of what I can only assume was baby puke in the windows, cracks etc and many of the surfaces were sticky. I can only conclude that the car was not properly cleaned, which particular in these pandemic times is really unacceptable to me.

Cons: Fox rent a car gets many bad reviews. But I Came prepared for their tricks on making you purchase extra stuff. Came with a letter from the credit card stating that I am covered for theft and collision. Had liability with my personal vehicle. Had my own EZ pass. Only paid for roadside assistance. On the return they get an F . I waited over 25 minutes for someone to come out of the office and they were two other customers waiting.

2.0 Mediocre5 Oct 2020
Pros: The car had good gas mileage.Cons: The car was stained all over the fabric - front and back - and smelled so bad that we had to ride with windows open for the first two days. When asking for an alternate vehicle I was told that "All the cars are stained and smell. People smoke in them all the time." Also service was not friendly at all and we were charged $10/day for a 2nd driver when the state law says you can't charge more than $3/day!
2.0 Mediocre5 Oct 2020
Pros: Not much.Cons: The car smelled like old weed. In my reservation I reserved unlimited mileage but when they give me my car I was told I was only allowed 600 miles, then anything over that would be 25 cents a mile. I also received the car without a full tank of gas so I had to fill up earlier than I would if given a full tank. The place was supposed to open at 8am but all the staff were all 25-45 min late so we had to wait outside until someone showed up. Overall I will never rent a car from this location again. They also don’t offer a toll tag option so I have to pay all the tolls myself plus a daily fee even if i did go through any tolls on a certain day. There was a cute kitten outside who entertained us until the staff showed up.

When to book a car hire in New York
Top tips for hiring a car in New York
- One of the major advantages of renting a car in New York City is that it makes the outlying boroughs much more accessible. For instance, places like Rockaway Beach in Queens, Red Hook in Brooklyn, and City Island in the Bronx are all much easier to reach via car than by public transportation.
- For travelers with flights landing at LaGuardia Airport, all hire shuttles pick up and drop off from in front of Terminal A of the airport. As for JFK International Airport, hire car desks can be found on the Arrivals level of each terminal. At Newark International Airport, the car hire desks are found in Stations P2 and P3 on the AirTrain.
- Rush hour is an undeniable part of life in New York City. However, that doesn’t mean it can’t be mitigated. Typically morning the busy morning traffic lasts from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., while the afternoon and evening traffic is usually from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Drivers should take care, though, that those are the busiest times, but often rush hour can start even earlier in the morning and last even later at night. Some of the main areas to avoid during rush hour include the Lincoln Tunnel and the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Biking is very popular in New York City and drivers should remain careful and aware of the bikers around them. Make sure to always check your mirrors when turning right and when opening a door, as you never know when a biker could pop up behind you.
