(the MTA -

to your destination. It is not recommended that you drive in the city, but

To find information and prices for renting a
car in New York, click on
Getting Away Discount Car Rentals.
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 Rentalsto find the perfect car at the right
price for you.
