National Car Hire in New Windsor, NY

National's counter at Stewart International Airport (SWF) sits inside the baggage claim area of the main terminal, with the car lot a short walk away at 1130 First Street — a compact setup that keeps pickup times brief compared to larger airport facilities. Counter hours are limited and irregular: Monday and Thursday run 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM, Tuesday noon to 2:00 PM, Sunday 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and the counter is closed entirely on Wednesdays, so plan your arrival accordingly. After-hours returns are possible via a key drop box, but the vehicle remains your responsibility until staff inspect it on the next operating day. The surrounding Hudson Valley road network uses E-ZPass, the electronic toll system covering 19 northeastern states; National's TollPass runs US$4.95 per day, charged only on days you actually use it, capped at US$34.65 per hire period, with actual toll amounts billed separately. Fuel in the New Windsor area typically runs around US$4.00–4.15 per gallon — returning the tank full avoids National's higher per-gallon refill rate. A credit card in the primary driver's name is required at pickup for the authorisation hold, which runs around US$400 for renters without a return airline ticket on file. If your licence uses a non-Latin script, bring a valid International Driving Permit alongside it.
