Where is the National Car Rental counter at Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, NY?
The National Car Rental counter at Stewart International Airport (SWF) is located inside the main terminal building at 1130 First Street, New Windsor, NY 12553. After collecting your baggage, follow the car rental signs to the rental desks, which are directly in front of the gate area, requiring only a short walk from the terminal. There is no shuttle or consolidated rental center involved, so the process is straightforward.
Counter hours at SWF are generally 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM daily, though hours can vary on holidays. If your flight arrives outside these hours, review your booking confirmation for after-hours instructions. National is part of the Alamo/Enterprise/National family, so if you have any difficulty locating the desk, ask airport staff or use the courtesy phones near the baggage claim area.
What documents do I need to pick up a National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
To pick up your National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY, you must bring the following physical documents to the counter at Stewart International Airport (SWF):
- A valid, unexpired driver's license with a photograph, in the main driver's name. Digital licenses are not accepted.
- A major credit card physically printed with the main driver's name, with sufficient available credit for the security deposit hold.
- A passport or valid government-issued photo ID (required for international visitors).
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets if you are visiting from abroad.
If your driver's license uses a non-Latin alphabet (for example, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic), you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a translation alongside your original license. The IDP is not a standalone document and will not be accepted without the original license.
Visitors with a Mexican driver's license may also need a valid voter registration card and travel documentation. All documents must be originals; photocopies and learner's permits are not accepted at the National counter in New Windsor, NY.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent from National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
Not always, but it depends on your license. At National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY, you cannot rent using an International Driving Permit (IDP) alone. The IDP is a translation document only and must always be presented together with your original driver's license.
An IDP is strongly recommended, and in some cases required, if:
- Your license is not in English and is not issued by an EU or EEA country.
- Your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic.
If your license is in English or uses the Latin alphabet, you can generally drive with it in New Windsor, NY without an IDP, though the National counter may request additional government-issued ID such as a passport. Obtain your IDP in your home country before traveling, as US-based issuers do not provide IDPs to non-US license holders.
How do tolls work when renting from National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
New York roads are almost entirely cashless, meaning you cannot pay tolls with cash at most facilities near New Windsor, NY. Your National Car Rental vehicle will include an electronic toll device that handles cashless toll billing automatically.
At the National counter in New Windsor, NY, you typically have two options:
- Unlimited toll package: a fixed daily rate of approximately US$11 to US$25 per day, covering all tolls during your rental period.
- Pay per use: if you decline the package, the National rental company charges you the actual toll amounts 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 bring it and inform the National counter agent at pickup so they can deactivate the vehicle's default device, avoiding duplicate charges.
Driving into Manhattan south of 60th Street also triggers NYC congestion pricing, currently set at approximately US$9 per day for passenger cars, billed separately from bridge and tunnel tolls. This charge is not covered by insurance or rental protection packages.
All bookings include Tolls Cashback from Hola Car Rentals, letting you recover up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your New Windsor, NY rental.
Is a credit card required to rent from National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
Yes, a major credit card is required to rent from National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY. The card must be physically present at the counter, printed with the main driver's name, and have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.
Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security hold. Even if you prepaid your booking online, you must still present a physical credit card at the National counter in New Windsor, NY at pickup.
In limited cases, a debit card or money order may be accepted, but this requires additional documentation presented in person at least 48 hours before pickup, including a utility bill dated within 30 days showing your current home address and a paycheck or auto insurance declaration page. Renters using money orders are typically required to provide a deposit of US$600.
The security hold is a temporary authorization on your card, not a charge. It reduces your available credit until the rental closes and your bank releases it, which can take up to 15 business days. Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.
What is the security deposit amount for National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
When picking up your National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY, the rental desk will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card as a security deposit. For standard vehicles in the United States, this hold is typically in the range of US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount can vary based on the vehicle class, rental duration, and location policies.
The hold is not a charge. It temporarily reduces your available credit until the rental agreement closes and the hold is released. Your bank controls how quickly the release appears on your statement, and it can take up to 15 business days.
To avoid issues at the National counter in New Windsor, NY:
- Bring a physical major credit card with your name printed on it and enough available credit to cover both the hold and any expected charges.
- Notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization.
- Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined.

Are there young driver surcharges for National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
Yes, a young driver surcharge applies to renters under 25 at National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY. However, New York State law requires rental companies to rent to licensed drivers aged 18 and older, which means drivers as young as 18 can rent from National in New Windsor, NY, subject to a daily young-renter surcharge.
For National, Alamo, and Enterprise, the additional driver fee for under-25 renters is US$15 per day plus applicable taxes. This surcharge applies to the main driver and is paid at the counter.
Additional restrictions to be aware of:
- Most premium, full-size, luxury, SUV, minivan, and convertible vehicle classes are restricted to renters aged 25 and older.
- Drivers aged 18 to 24 are generally limited to economy, compact, and intermediate vehicle categories.
- A major credit card in the main driver's name is still required for the security deposit hold, regardless of age.
The young-renter surcharge disappears once you turn 25. If you are unsure whether your chosen vehicle class is available for your age at the National location in New Windsor, NY, contact customer service before booking.
What travel assistance is included with a National Car Rental booking in New Windsor, NY?
Most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals, including National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY, include travel assistance coverage provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly useful if you experience a medical emergency or other unexpected event while driving in the New Windsor, NY area, including on complex routes such as NY 17, I-87, or I-84.

Important: this travel assistance benefit does not apply to residents of the United States or Canada. It also does not cover damage to the National rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Review your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.
What insurance coverage is included with a National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
The insurance included with your National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY depends on the rate plan you selected at booking. It is important to review your booking confirmation carefully before arriving at the counter.
Common coverage options available for National rentals in New Windsor, NY include:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the rental vehicle from a collision or covered event. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero deductible.
- Third-Party Liability (LIS/SLI/ALI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving. Some US states require a minimum level of liability coverage; New York is one of the higher-liability states, so confirming this coverage is especially important.
CDW/LDW does not cover third-party liability, and LIS/SLI does not cover damage to the National vehicle itself. These are separate protections that work together.
Note that for certain luxury vehicle classes at the National counter in New Windsor, NY, renters without a ticketed return itinerary may need to provide evidence of their own transferable collision, comprehensive, and liability insurance. Always confirm what is included on your confirmation before pickup.
Can I add an additional driver to my National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
Yes, you can add an additional driver to your National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY at the counter during pickup. The additional driver must be physically present at the National desk at Stewart International Airport (SWF) and must present a valid driver's license, along with an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet.
Whether the additional driver fee is included or charged at the counter depends on your rate:
- If your booking confirmation states "Additional driver free of charge" or "Additional driver included," the first extra driver is covered at no cost.
- If not included, National, Alamo, and Enterprise charge US$15 per day plus applicable taxes for each additional driver.
Additional drivers at the National location in New Windsor, NY must also meet the minimum age requirements. Drivers under 25 may be subject to a young-renter surcharge on top of the additional driver fee. Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by protections such as CDW/LDW.
Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement at the National counter in New Windsor, NY before taking the vehicle.
What is the fuel policy for National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY?
National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY uses a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. This means you receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid fuel charges.
To avoid extra fees on your National rental in New Windsor, NY:
- Check the fuel gauge with the agent at pickup 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 at Stewart International Airport (SWF) so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive.
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.
If you return the National 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 retail pump prices, plus a refueling service fee.
For after-hours returns at SWF, leave the fuel receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as documentation.
Can I pick up a National Car Rental in New Windsor, NY and return it in a different city?
