Car rental in Staten Island
Drive-friendly borough — the only NYC borough where a car really makes sense.
Staten Island is the most car-dependent of New York's five boroughs, and rental depots reflect that. It's the gateway to the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway and the Jersey Shore — making it a smart base for coastal road trips or a quieter, cheaper alternative to Manhattan pickups.

- Most car-friendly borough in New York City
- Direct access to NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and I-278
- Best jumping-off point for Jersey Shore day trips
- Competitive rates compared with Manhattan and Brooklyn
- Free cancellation on most rates
Local tips
Cross the Verrazzano for quick Brooklyn/NYC access
The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects Staten Island to Brooklyn in minutes — handy if you need to pick up or drop off elsewhere in the city.
Toll planning
Staten Island's bridges and the NJ Turnpike are tolled. Factor E-ZPass or cash toll costs into your trip budget.
