Car rental in Harlem
Upper Manhattan's cultural hub — your gateway to the Hudson Valley and upstate.
Harlem sits at the northern edge of Manhattan and is the quickest part of the borough to reach open road. The Henry Hudson Parkway and Harlem River Drive are close, and once you're past the George Washington Bridge the Hudson Valley, the Catskills and upstate New York open up fast. Cultural visitors often prefer a Harlem pickup over a congested Midtown depot.
Why rent here
- Shortest route from Manhattan to the George Washington Bridge and upstate
- Henry Hudson Parkway and Harlem River Drive accessible quickly
- Rich cultural neighbourhood — Apollo Theater, soul food, jazz history

Local tips
The GWB is your friend
The George Washington Bridge connects Harlem to New Jersey and is the fastest escape from Manhattan to Routes 9W, I-87 (New York State Thruway) and the whole Hudson Valley corridor.
Visit before you leave
If you have a morning to spare before heading out, explore 125th Street, the Apollo Theater and Marcus Garvey Park — Harlem is one of New York's most historically rich neighbourhoods.
