Make sure to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's New York's minimum age to rent a car?

Alamo's minimum age to rent a car in New York is 21. Take time to check Alamo's policy, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals in particular.

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to New York?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit New York. For bigger cities, like New York, you may find navigating and parking easier in a smaller car. Commute times in New York average 41 minutes, so you may find a SUV or mid-size car provides a more comfortable ride. Or if you want to keep your emissions down, then choose a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a little luxury on their New York vacation can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in the United States?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many of the major credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover) generally provide some coverage. But many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to call your credit card company and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to New York. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Alamo require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Alamo requires a deposit when you book your rental. Alamo will block the deposit on your credit once you book your car for your trip to New York. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly based on the model and make of the car.

What is the fuel policy on my Alamo car rental?

We suggest a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle with the needle at "F". If you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Alamo.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in New York?

New York is a big city, so there is going to be a lot to do. You may not want to concern yourself about your miles if you are planning to attend a ball game or cheer for New York's best ball players.
