At Empire Rent A Car, we work hard to give you the best rental experience from the first time you hop on our website until you drop off your rental keys. Our customer service and reliable cars just can’t be beat. However, to minimize travel woes even more, here are a few things you can do to make your rental experience even better.

1. Book early.

Don’t let the calendar sneak up on you. By reserving your rental car in advance, you save yourself the last-minute rush to find the right vehicle. Plus, you can often take advantage of special rates available only when you book your rental ahead of time. It pays to plan ahead.

2. Ask about special offers.

Saving money on your car rental can help you feel better about traveling. You can either pocket the savings or allocate it toward an adventure in NYC. Many rental companies, like Empire Rent A Car, offer coupons or special deals on top of already affordable rates. Take a few extra minutes to see whether you qualify for online specials, or ask the rental company team member if any other discounts are available to you. It never hurts to ask!

3. Check out the policies.

When you pick up your rental, you just want to sign, get the keys, and go. Most people don’t want to sit around and read the rental agreement. Because it’s important that you understand your renter responsibilities, we recommend that you read through our rental policies in advance. That way, you can know what you’re agreeing to (no surprises!), and you can pick up your car quickly with no wait. These three tips won’t take much time or effort on your end, but they can take your rental experience to the next level. When you’re ready to book your car, minivan, or SUV for your next New York trip, contact Empire Rent A Car at (800) 750-8782. We have convenient locations throughout NYC, including Brooklyn, Long Island, Queens, and more.
