New York gives you two strong gateways: JFK in Queens and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson. Which one is cheaper depends on fleet demand, taxes, and the pickup hour you choose. Begin with JFK car rental pricing, then compare against Newark car hire quotes—the gap flips week to week.
What drives price differences
- Demand swings: conventions, holidays, and storms pull inventory unevenly by airport.
- Taxes and fees: airport facility charges and state/city taxes differ between New York and New Jersey.
- Pickup time: early-morning and late-night bands can price differently across JFK and EWR.
- One-way plans: crossing state lines for the return may add a drop fee—check before you commit.
Choose by route, not only by rate
Staying in Midtown or Brooklyn? JFK may shorten the drive via the Van Wyck and Belt Parkway. Starting in New Jersey or heading south on I‑95? EWR can be faster and cheaper overall. Keep city pages handy for New York options and Newark choices. Taking a side trip to Pennsylvania later? Compare a return at Philadelphia Airport for the full-picture total.
