Whether you arrive via the Van Wyck or the Belt Parkway, the simplest finale to a New York drive is a tidy return and a quick hop onto the AirTrain. JFK’s footprint is busy, but the return is easy once you know where to go and how to time it.
First, keep your paperwork organized by booking through Hola Car Rentals and having the contract number handy. To start cleanly, secure your car rental and store the confirmation. You can also browse the same inventory under car hire.
Follow the signs
Watch for wayfinding to the Rental Car Return near Federal Circle. Top off the tank before entering the lanes, and take timestamped photos of fuel level, odometer, and exterior panels. After the agent checks you in, board the AirTrain back to your terminal.
Timing tips
- Pad the schedule. Add a 20–30 minute cushion for unpredictable Van Wyck traffic.
- Confirm your terminal. Know your station before riding the AirTrain so you don’t loop needlessly.
- Choose off‑peak windows. Early morning and late evening returns can be quieter.
Receipts, tolls, and add‑ons
If you used bridge or tunnel tolls, keep the transponder in the holder until the contract closes and screenshot the emailed receipt. Remove personal items from the cabin, and keep photos until your final invoice posts.
Pivots that save time
Early flight from New Jersey? Drop on that side and reset your itinerary via a Newark corridor itinerary. Heading to New England? Consider kicking off the next leg from a Boston hub or planning a museum weekend anchored to a Philadelphia parkway weekend.
