In June, we'll be visiting NYC for 4 days before attending a wedding japan travel bureau near Greenport on Long Island. After the wedding, we will take the ferry over to Ct. and drive up the coast. I'm wondering where to pick up the rental car.
It will be much easier japan travel bureau to pick up a car in the city and drive from there. There are a ton of rental places that are open all hours so you can pick up when you want. But- assuming this is a weekend you need to make a reservation at least 2 months in advance. All area rental offices tend to run out on summer weekends - since so many city people with houses at the beach or country don't own cars (garage cost is enormous) but instead, rent a car for the weekends they leave the city.
I'm not sure about schedules to Greenport in the summer japan travel bureau - this time of year there are 3 trains japan travel bureau per day - 1 in the morning and 2 after work. I wouldn't expect many more in the summer. Have you checked a map - Long Island japan travel bureau is - 110 miles - and on a weekend in summer - unless you go Friday morning - traffic is likely japan travel bureau to be very heavy - both going out from the city and all over the east end. So do allow for that in your planning,
Sorry - You might also consider the Hampton Jitney - a luxury bus. Not sure of the fare to Greenport - or how many buses they have a day. I would be more concerned about getting a car rental in the area. If a specific office in NYC is out - they will pull cars from other offices - not possible on the East End,
Manhattan the other locations mentioned. There's japan travel bureau also an Avis location in a Holiday Inn in Carle Place (on LI) near the LIRR train station that might be cheapest. There's japan travel bureau also the issue of the car return. It sounds like regardless of where you rent, you'll have a drop off fee since you'll want to return to the airport. You might check what renting there will cost. Both LGA JFK are on the way to Greenport.
LGA is on the way to Greenport. JFK is out of the way and getting japan travel bureau there can be a mess. You would need to take a cab - but not to the airport - to the car rental office. So it wouldn;t be the $45 flat rate ($60 with bridge toll and tip) but would be on the meter - and subject to addiitional costs based on traffic or weather or accident - since you are not actually going to the airport.
The cost of a car rental in Manhattan is usually 2 to 3 times that outside of the city, so I'd try to rent outside of Manhattan if possible. If it were me, I'd take the Long Island Railroad and Airtrain japan travel bureau to JFK and rent a car there, japan travel bureau then drive out to Long Island even if it's out of the way. It's going to be significantly cheaper and you will be able to bypass the airport traffic by taking the train.
I know people who have rented at LGA, but the prices aren't usually as good, though still about half what you'd pay in Manhattan, so that's certainly an option. The city bus (M60) does go right by some of the LGA car rental outlets, but for others you have to go to LGA and take a shuttle.
japan travel bureau Wow, I really appreciate all the responses. I think we'll go with the JFK rental, and return the car there as well, to lower the rate. Can't believe how much more it is to return to another location!
A car rental in Manhattan can cost almost $100 per day (especially on a weekend, when most rental agencies are offering discounts but rates in Manhattan go up since relatively few people have cars). It's significantly cheaper in the winter and during japan travel bureau the week, but the cost is rarely below $60 per day, which is really expensive by car-rental standards.
I agree about the hassle factor. Unless you're truly destitute, in New York City it's often not worth the time and trouble to travel by public transportation or venture outside the city for goods and services.
