The FIFA World Cup is coming to the area next month, and Empire Rent A Car is here to make sure transportation is the last thing fans have to worry about. Eight matches will be played at MetLife Stadium, including the Championship Final on July 19. Millions of fans are expected to descend on the region from June 11 through July 19, and getting around the New York and New Jersey area without a reliable vehicle will be a challenge that no amount of planning can fully solve on public transit alone. So, here’s your rental guide for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Logistics Are More Complex Than You Think

Fans traveling for the World Cup will be spread across hotels in Manhattan, New Jersey, Long Island, and beyond. Getting from your accommodations to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, to fan zones across the city, and to restaurants and experiences in between requires flexibility. Rideshare surge pricing during major events can be significant. Train schedules fill up. Having your own rental vehicle keeps your itinerary on your terms.

Plan for More Than Match Day

The World Cup experience extends well beyond 90 minutes on the pitch. New York City is a destination in its own right. Whether it is visiting iconic neighborhoods, catching other fan events, exploring the Jersey Shore, or simply getting to and from your lodging efficiently, a rental car gives your group the freedom to experience everything the region has to offer at your own pace.
