Cheap National Car Hire in Manhattan

Before driving away in Manhattan, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

If you are travelling to Manhattan and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like National have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like National in Manhattan. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

When hiring a car in Manhattan, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like National. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.
