Car rental near the Statue of Liberty on Turo

With a car, the wider region opens up. You can pair your ferry visit with Ellis Island, the Lower Manhattan waterfront, Liberty State Park, and the downtown memorials, all without waiting on transit connections.
Booking is simple from start to finish. You can browse, book, and manage the whole trip from your phone, choose the exact car you want, and arrange delivery to a spot that fits your plans.
And your options don't stop at the harbor. If your plans stretch beyond the city, New York car rentals reach destinations across the state.

Recent New York car rental reviews
Car was great…host was great….easy pick up and drop off…I highly recommend if you’re looking for a great rent a car
The car was okay overall. It was clean, well presented and had a full tank of fuel when collected. The rental process was straightforward, and the vehicle was suitable for my needs during my stay in New York. Overall, a decent rental experience.
The rental process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free. The car drove very smoothly.
I had a really smooth and enjoyable rental with this host. The car was in great condition and absolutely worth the price. The host was very accommodating — I needed to extend my trip on short notice, and they approved the extra day right away without any hassle. Their communication was quick, the pickup was easy, and the overall experience was excellent. I would definitely rent from them again.
Second time renting car from them. As always super responsive and everything went great. Definitely recommend them for rental cars in Jersey City.
Tiff’s Trips has been my go to person to get a car. She is very accommodating and for this trip I added on an extra day and she easily switched around cars so I could get one sooner. Can’t say enough about the quality of the vehicles and how clean they are. Never had any issues with maintenance. Pick up and drop off couldn’t be easier.
The rear tires were low on air pressure and had to refill, which took more time than anticipated (about an hour extra because we had problem finding working air pumps). Tiff the Host was very apologetic and offered to refund cost / discount. I appreciate that and understand it's difficult to control for all aspects of quality, hope other renters won't have to go through the issue. Other than that the rental experience was great, car was clean, runs well, instructions clear, pick up and return was smooth, I would rent from them again if the need come.
Smooth ride. Solid price. The owner is a great dude, very helpful and goes above
The host was very nice and trip was amazing car was clean and smell great I amazing will rent again soon
I had a great experience renting Alexis’ Honda! Alexis was very responsive, and the car was easy to find and very clean. It was perfect for our quick trip, and everything went smoothly. I’d definitely rent from Alexis again!
Picked the car up for a day trip to the shore - pick up was seamless, car was in great condition and clearly cleaned prior to our reservation. Would rent from Bayram again

Amazing car and rental experience. Peter was super helpful and quick to reply at all times. I’d definitely rent again.
Ivan and car rental team were detailed and friendly to work with. A clean and smooth ride for the errands I needed to run for a few days.
Overall, excellent. Integra Type-S is a very fun, engaging, manual transmission experience. Car is perfect for long road trips and for hauling a lot of stuff. Small delay with pickup/drop-off otherwise no issues. Would rent again!

Things to do and places to see in Statue of Liberty, NY
Rent the perfect car
Ellis Island and Battery Park
Battery Park is your launch point on the Manhattan side, where ferries depart for both Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Ellis Island's immigration museum is well worth the crossing, tracing the stories of millions who first arrived here. Keep in mind that parking around Lower Manhattan is scarce and pricey, so plan your drop-off and timing before you go.
Liberty State Park, Jersey City
On the New Jersey side, Liberty State Park has its own ferry terminal plus wide-open views of the statue and skyline. A Jersey City car rental makes this approach easy, and the park's parking lots tend to be roomier and cheaper than anything across the river.
One World Observatory and the 9/11 Memorial
Both sit a short drive from the Battery ferry terminal in Lower Manhattan. The 9/11 Memorial's reflecting pools and the sweeping views from One World Observatory make a moving pair. Book timed-entry tickets ahead so your visit lines up neatly with your ferry schedule.

Top tips for renting a car near the Statue of Liberty
Road rules and driving conditions
Expect dense urban traffic across Manhattan and the harbor crossings, especially at rush hour. Remember that you can't drive onto Liberty Island, so park on the mainland and take the ferry the rest of the way.
Parking
Manhattan garages fill quickly and cost a premium, so reserve ahead whenever you can. On the New Jersey side, Liberty State Park's lots are generally easier to find and cheaper to use.
Toll roads
The Hudson River bridges and tunnels use cashless tolling, handled through E-ZPass or toll-by-plate. Check how tolls are covered for your trip before you set out.
Gas stations and EV chargers
Fuel is easier to find in New Jersey than in Lower Manhattan, so top off before you cross when it's convenient. If you're driving an electric vehicle rental, map your charging stops around the harbor in advance.
Do I need to rent a car near the Statue of Liberty?
You don't need a car to board the ferry to Liberty Island. But one makes the rest of a New York trip far easier, connecting the harbor with everything else you want to see.

Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host's vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency.
