Car Rental in New York

Family car rental in New York

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in USA traditionally include the following vehicles: Pontiac Grand Prix, Chevrolet Impala, Oldsmobile Alero, Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Avensis, Nissan Primera and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the New York borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in New York might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in New York!

Traveling in New York with family car
If you have already visited Times Square and have taken many pictures of the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge, it’s high time to start exploring unusual landmarks of New York. The megalopolis is rich in interesting places that are not known to many travelers.
If you like street art, don’t forget to visit Long Island . One of the small quarters on the island, which is informally known under the name 5 pointz, is loved by graffiti artists. Their attention was drawn by the abandoned warehouses, the walls of which are nowadays covered with colorful paintings.

In order to rest from numerous people and noise of thousands of cars, head to Bushwick . Once a prospering industrial district, Bushwick looks quite abandoned nowadays. There are many old and rundown buildings and time-worn cars that have been abandoned by their owners. It’s hard to imagine, but there are many old and forgotten districts like Bushwick in New York. Stalkers also enjoy walking in Red Hook and Vinegar Hill . It is not always easy to reach distant quarters, but the result is worth the effort – you will be able to see old and abandoned buildings, the age of many of which is more than a hundred years.
