Car rental in Coney Island, Brooklyn
Brooklyn's legendary boardwalk — and a gateway to the Jersey Shore and beyond.
Coney Island is one of New York's most iconic tourist destinations: the boardwalk, Nathan's Famous, Luna Park and Brighton Beach are all here. But it's also the start of the Belt Parkway, which hugs the Brooklyn waterfront and connects to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge — making it a natural jump-off for Jersey Shore road trips or an alternative route to JFK.
Why rent here
- One of New York's most famous beach and boardwalk destinations
- Belt Parkway access directly to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and Staten Island
- Quick route to JFK via the Belt Parkway east
- Rockaways Beach reachable in about 30 minutes
- Brighton Beach and the Atlantic Ocean waterfront next door
- Free cancellation on most bookings
Local tips
Visit first, then drive
Coney Island is worth at least a few hours — grab a Nathan's hot dog, walk the boardwalk and ride the Cyclone before picking up the car for your onward trip.
Summer parking is a challenge
On summer weekends, the Coney Island area is packed. Book the car for an early morning pickup and get out before the beach crowds arrive.
