Transportation in New York City
The best way to get around in the city is on the extensive subway system (the MTA - http://www.mta.info/nyct) or taking the bus or a taxi to get to your destination. It is not recommended that you drive in the city, but if you do, here is a website with some information and tips on driving in New York City:
http://www.ny.com/transportation/automobiles. To find information and prices for renting a car in New York, click on Getting Away Discount Car Rentals.

New York City is on the extensive rails service along the Atlantic and there are several trains daily that run up and down the coastal areas, along with a few that travel inland through New York to a few neighboring states. The following links will provide information in this eastern corridor of the United States, New York and New York city.

Most people arrive in New York city at one of the two major airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK, "Kennedy"), Fiorello La Guardia Airport (LGA, "La Guardia"). However, after you get to the airport, you then have to get into the city to your hotel or place where you will be doing business. This is where the various shuttle companies can be of great help. Shuttle services are available from both JFK and LGA as well as from Newark (EWR) from RideFly Airport Shuttle Service. You can also take a taxi or a bus into the city center

Rental Car
I would not advise renting a car to get into the city. The traffic is horrific and the parking expensive. However, if you have arrived at the airport, and need a rental car to get out of the city for business or pleasure, you will find all of the major car rental companies have kiosks at the airport. It is suggested you reserve your rental car in advance so it will be ready for you when you arrive. Be sure to use Getting Away Discount Car Rentals to find the perfect car at the right price for you.
