New York City has one of the most extensive public transit systems in the world, and yet, sometimes you just don’t want to use it. Whether you’re hauling gear, heading out of the city for the weekend, or simply tired of squeezing onto a packed train, renting a car from Empire Rent A Car is easier than you might think.
The subway is great for getting across Manhattan, but it won't take you to the Catskills, the Hamptons, or a lazy Sunday drive up the Hudson Valley. When you rent a car, the whole region opens up. A quick getaway to Woodstock, a beach day in Montauk, or a fall foliage trip through the Adirondacks — none of that requires a flight or a bus schedule. Just pick up your keys and go.
Lugging a stroller, sports equipment, or a week's worth of luggage through turnstiles and crowded platforms is no one's idea of a good time. A rental car means you load up once and ride in comfort. Empire Rent A Car offers everything from compact cars perfect for navigating city streets to spacious SUVs with plenty of room for the whole crew.
Empire Rent A Car has been serving New York since 1970, with locations across the entire city. As a family-owned business, they offer the kind of flexible, personal service the big chains simply can't match — including convenient pickup and delivery options for travelers flying into JFK or LaGuardia.
Renting locally means skipping the airport markups. Empire Rent A Car offers competitive rates, free unlimited local miles on most passenger vehicles, and multiple payment options, including cash. Whether you need a car for a day or a few weeks, there's a rental that fits your plans and your budget.
