What you need to know before you go

How do I find the best rates on a New York Dollar car rental?

We strive to get you the lowest price, whether you reserve your car. But getting ahead of your trip can help keep spending low. Make sure to check the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my rental car in New York?

You will need to carry with you your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in New York?

Most suppliers in New York set the minimum age to rent a car at 21. Make sure to review Dollar's policy, as there may be added fees if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals especially.

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

That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in New York. For bigger cities, like New York, you may find exploring and parking easier in a smaller car. Commute times in New York average 41 minutes, so you may find a mid-size car or SUV more comfortable. If you want to lower your emissions and save on gas, then opt for a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their New York vacation can choose a higher-end category like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 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 from Dollar. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

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

Dollar does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to New York. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Dollar?

We suggest a full tank policy. You pick up your Dollar rental with full tank, and you should return it topped off. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back to Dollar.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

New York is a large city, so there is going to be a lot to do. You may not want to concern yourself about your mileage limits if you are planning to grab tickets to a ball game or grab tickets to a ball game.

Does Dollar offer one-way rentals in New York?
