Where is the Hertz counter at Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, NY?
The Hertz counter at Stewart International Airport (SWF) in New Windsor, NY is located inside the main terminal building. After collecting your baggage, follow the signs for Ground Transportation or Rental Car to reach the Hertz desk, then walk a short distance to the adjacent rental car lot. No shuttle is required, making the process straightforward even on late-night arrivals when the terminal is quiet and well marked.
Hertz also operates off-airport locations along 1st Street in New Windsor, NY, including addresses at 1025 1st St, 1188 1st St, and 1032 1st St Ste 112. For those locations, you will need to arrange your own transport and visit the branch directly. If you are flying into SWF, the on-airport counter is the most convenient option.
Allow at least 30 extra minutes before an early flight when returning your vehicle, to account for the drive back, fuel stop, and the short walk from the rental lot to the terminal.
What documents do I need to pick up a Hertz rental car in New Windsor, NY?
To pick up a Hertz rental car in New Windsor, NY, you must bring the following physical documents. Digital copies are not accepted at the counter.
- A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name
- A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, used for the security deposit hold
- A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad
If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script), an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. For licenses in English or using a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.
Hertz in New Windsor, NY follows the same document standards as all major rental partners in the United States. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security hold.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent from Hertz in New Windsor, NY?
Not always, but it depends on your license. When renting from Hertz in New Windsor, NY, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory if your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script. In that case, you must carry both your original license and the IDP at all times.
If your license is in English or uses a Latin alphabet, an IDP is recommended but not strictly required by Hertz in New Windsor, NY. However, having one can prevent any misunderstanding at the counter.
- The IDP is a translation document only. It is not a standalone license and will not be accepted without your original license.
- You must obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling. Organizations like AAA in the United States do not issue IDPs to non-US license holders.
- All documents presented at the Hertz counter must be physical originals. Digital versions are not accepted.
How do tolls work when renting a Hertz car in New Windsor, NY?
New York roads, including those near New Windsor, NY, are almost entirely cashless. When you rent a Hertz vehicle in New Windsor, NY, the car comes equipped with an electronic toll device. You have two options at the counter.
- Unlimited toll package: typically US$11 to US$25 per rental day, covering all tolls during your rental period regardless of how many you use
- Pay per use: Hertz charges you the actual toll amount plus daily or administrative processing fees after the rental ends. These charges can appear on your card days or even weeks after you return the vehicle.
If you have a personal E-ZPass transponder, you can use it in the Hertz rental car in New Windsor, NY. Inform the counter agent so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device and prevent duplicate charges.
Driving into Manhattan from New Windsor, NY also triggers NYC Congestion Pricing. Passenger cars are charged once per calendar day for entering most of Manhattan south of 60th Street. This fee is separate from bridge and tunnel tolls and is not covered by insurance or rental protection packages.
Major crossings such as the NY State Thruway and Hudson River bridges carry individual tolls that can range from approximately US$15 to US$25 or more per crossing.
Can I get a Tolls Cashback refund on my Hertz rental in New Windsor, NY?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which applies to your Hertz rental in New Windsor, NY. You can get up to 5% of your total booking value back for tolls paid during your rental period.
Given that New York roads near New Windsor, NY are almost entirely cashless and toll costs can add up quickly, especially if you cross Hudson River bridges or drive into Manhattan, this benefit can provide meaningful savings.
To claim your cashback, email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your Hertz vehicle. Include the following documents:
- Your Hola Car Rentals booking confirmation
- A copy of the rental agreement signed at the Hertz counter in New Windsor, NY
- A toll receipt, transponder statement, or itemized rental invoice showing toll charges
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for your reservation and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions received after 30 days are not accepted. This benefit does not mean tolls are prepaid. You still pay tolls normally and claim reimbursement afterward.
What is the security deposit for a Hertz rental in New Windsor, NY?
When you pick up your Hertz rental car in New Windsor, NY, a temporary authorization hold is placed on your credit card. This is not a charge. It reduces your available credit until your bank releases it after you return the vehicle.
For Hertz in the United States, including New Windsor, NY, the typical hold on a standard vehicle is approximately US$300 to US$400. The exact amount can vary based on the vehicle class, rental duration, and location. Premium or specialty vehicles may carry a higher hold.
- Only a major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted for the deposit. Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted.
- Bring a backup credit card in case your primary card is declined.
- Notify your bank before travel to prevent fraud blocks on in-person authorizations.
- After returning the vehicle, your bank controls when the hold is released. This can take up to 15 business days.
Even if you prepaid your Hertz booking in New Windsor, NY online, you are still required to present a physical credit card at the counter for the security hold.
Can drivers under 25 rent a Hertz car in New Windsor, NY?
Yes, drivers under 25 can rent a Hertz car in New Windsor, NY. New York State law requires rental companies, including Hertz, to rent to licensed drivers aged 18 and older. However, a young-renter surcharge applies to drivers aged 18 to 24.
For Hertz in New Windsor, NY, the young-renter fee is approximately US$13.50 per rental day, and this fee is paid at the counter. There is a maximum cap on the total surcharge, so confirm the exact amount with the Hertz agent at pickup.
- Drivers aged 18 to 20 may face additional vehicle class restrictions beyond those for 21 to 24 year olds.
- Most premium, full-size, luxury, SUV, and specialty vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.
- Economy, compact, and intermediate categories are typically available to younger renters.
- A valid driver's license and a major credit card in the main driver's name are still required regardless of age.
Because New Windsor, NY falls under New York State rules, the 18-plus minimum applies specifically at this Hertz location, which is an advantage compared to most other US states where the minimum is 21 or 25.
How does the fuel policy work for Hertz rentals in New Windsor, NY?
Hertz rentals in New Windsor, NY follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Hertz agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement.
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the lot.
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location in New Windsor, NY so the gauge does not drop before you arrive.
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.
If you return the Hertz vehicle in New Windsor, NY with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the retail pump price, plus a refueling service fee.
If the vehicle was not full at pickup, the starting level must be noted on the agreement and you only need to return it at that same level. Always verify what is written on the contract before driving away.

Always review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.
How do I add an additional driver to my Hertz rental in New Windsor, NY?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Hertz rental in New Windsor, NY, either at no cost if your rate includes it or for a daily fee paid at the counter.
For Hertz in New Windsor, NY, the additional driver fee is approximately US$13.50 per rental day when not included in your rate, subject to a maximum cap. Check your booking confirmation to see whether an additional driver is already included.
- The additional driver must be present at the Hertz counter in New Windsor, NY at pickup. They cannot be added remotely.

- Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement.
- The additional driver must meet the minimum age requirements. In New York State, Hertz must accept drivers aged 18 and older, though a young-renter surcharge may apply.

Can I return my Hertz car to a different location from New Windsor, NY?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Hertz in New Windsor, NY, but a drop-off fee may apply depending on your return location.
The drop-off fee is route-specific and varies based on the distance between New Windsor, NY and your chosen return city, the vehicle class, and the rental dates. This fee is not included in your prepaid rate and must be paid at the counter.
- Returning to another location within the same metro area may carry a lower or no drop-off fee.
- Returning to a different state or a distant city typically triggers a higher one-way fee.
- Cross-border returns (for example, from New Windsor, NY to Canada) may be restricted or require prior approval from Hertz.
During the booking process on the Hola Car Rentals website, any applicable drop-off fee is shown under the To Pay at Destination section before you confirm. Review your booking confirmation to verify the exact amount. If the Hertz counter in New Windsor, NY charges a different fee than what appears on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply.
What insurance is included in a Hertz rental in New Windsor, NY?
Hertz rentals in New Windsor, NY booked through Hola Car Rentals typically include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), which reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may still apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.
CDW/LDW does not cover everything. Common exclusions include:
- Third-party liability, meaning injury or property damage you cause to others. This requires separate LIS/SLI coverage.
- Tires, wheels, undercarriage, and roof damage, which are often excluded unless a specific add-on is purchased.
- Incidents involving unauthorized drivers or prohibited use such as off-road driving.
For third-party liability, New York State requires a minimum level of coverage, but the specific limits vary. Hola Car Rentals strongly recommends adding Liability Insurance Supplementary (up to US$300,000) to your Hertz booking in New Windsor, NY for adequate protection.
Always review the rental agreement at the Hertz counter in New Windsor, NY to confirm exactly which coverages are active and what deductibles apply before driving away.

If your flight is delayed and you arrive later than your scheduled Hertz pickup time in New Windsor, NY, your reservation will generally be held for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time. Stewart International Airport (SWF) serves a relatively small number of flights, so the Hertz counter hours may be more limited than at larger airports.
