Hertz Car Hire in New Windsor, NY

Hertz operates the only hire counter inside New York Stewart International Airport (SWF), positioned on the main level directly across from baggage claim — a walk of a few minutes from the carousel. Counter hours run Monday through Saturday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with no after-hours pickup available; if your flight lands after closing, contact Hertz before travel to discuss options, since availability cannot be guaranteed. New York's toll roads run on E-ZPass, the electronic toll system used across the Northeast, and Hertz vehicles at SWF are equipped with PlatePass: opting into the all-inclusive daily package gives unlimited toll access, whilst declining it means each toll is billed at the highest undiscounted rate plus a per-day administrative fee that can accumulate quickly on routes towards the Hudson Valley or New York City. Fuel in the New Windsor area averages around US$3.15–3.39 per gallon, and several stations sit close to the airport for a fill-up before return — skipping that step triggers a fuel service charge at a significant markup over pump price. Budget for an authorisation hold of around US$200 placed on a credit card in the primary driver's name at pickup; debit cards are not accepted. Drivers whose licence uses a non-Latin script — Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic, for example — must also carry an International Driving Permit alongside the original licence.
