A one-way rental lets you drive from New York to another city — or another airport — without doubling back. It's perfect for relocations, scenic road trips and cross-country drives, with one thing to watch: the drop-off fee.

How drop-off fees work

Most suppliers allow one-way rentals but may charge a one-time drop charge that varies by pickup location, return location and season. Sometimes it's waived on popular corridors; other times it's significant. Always compare the all-in one-way price.
