Use it to travel the surroundings, avoid manhattan. Consider Tolls.

Be sure you read the fine print - on geo locations, insurance coverage, etc.

Know that you have to have full insurance coverage, and if you don’t have it for your own vehicle, you will be required to purchase their product at the cost of $30 a day.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Queens
Jaywalking, especially in residential areas, is very common throughout Queens. If you are in a residential area on a one or two-lane road, then it is even more likely to happen. Make sure you keep your eyes on road and you stay vigilant for any would-be jaywalkers that may pop out in front of you.
Planning on picking up a hire car before heading to Queens? If your flight is to JFK International Airport, the hire desks are located on the Arrivals level in each terminal. Flying into Newark Airport instead? In that case, you will find the hire car desks at Stations P2 and P3 on the AirTrain. As for LaGuardia Airport, the hire car center is located just off-site but there are shuttles in front of Terminal A to take passengers to passengers there.
Keep your eyes open for taxi drivers and stay out of their way. They are fearless drivers and will cross 3 or even 4 lanes of traffic if necessary. The easiest option is the path of least resistance, so simply let them drive around you and do their thing.
Queens, like much of New York City, experiences a daily rush hour. Drivers can typically expect the morning rush hour to pick up at around 7:00 a.m. and run until 9:00 a.m., while the afternoon rush hour starts at around 4:00 p.m. and goes to 7:00 p.m. In general, the Grand Central Parkway during rush hour is one of the roads hit by congestion, so drivers are advised to avoid it if possible.
Small hire cars in Queens are around 41% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about hiring a car in Queens
What type of car is recommended for driving in Queens?
Small and medium-sized vehicles are the most suited for driving Queens and New York in general. While larger vehicles are an option, drivers will usually find that larger vehicles are a struggle to fit into the limited parking spaces in the more crowded areas of Queens. Even medium-sized cars can be difficult to park at times, but in general they will be okay.
What’s the speed limit in Queens?
Visitors to New York City should know that speed limits are set at a base limit of 25 mph unless signage says otherwise. However, drivers in Queens will see a variety of speed limits above that such as 35, 45, and even sometimes 50 mph. In some of the more densely packed residential areas, there are also speed limits as low as 20 mph.
Where are the best places to park in Queens?
Going out to dinner? If readily available, streetside parking nearby will be your best bet. However, drivers are advised not to search too long for streetside parking as it fills up fast. Instead, if you are willing to pay for it, private parking garages are a great option as you can check their availability online in advance.

I had a reservation to pick up a vehicle at Ace Car Rental at LGA on June 7, 2025. When I got to location via airport shuttle to pick up the vehicle I reserved, they told me my reservation had been cancelled and to call customer service. Customer service said they cancelled the reservation but mistakenly did not contact me. The supervisor of the representative offered me a “deal” to pay 100.00 more for my reserved vehicle, take it or leave it. Terrible. I decided to make a reservation with Alamo and was completely satisfied.

I had reserved a mini van for pick up 2:00 pm on July 4th dropping off at 2:00 pm on July 5th. I was not notified by call or email. I only found out that the reservation was moved to Kily 5th pick up at 7:00 am and drop off 11:00 pm via my calendar. I would never have booked that as my departure flight was at 3:05 pm. Very disappointed. Avis ctold me to contact Kayak and Kayak told me to contact Avis. Will not use Kayak to verify book another vehicle rental.

The whole process was smooth, especially once I got to the rental counter. I waited for almost 30 min for a shuttle along with many other people as shuttles from other rental agencies passed by multiple times. The driver was very patient and professional even though a few customers mistreated him because they were upset about the wait time. I thought he handled it extremely well. So I would recommend making sure there are always plenty of shuttles.
