Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2023

My car had to be in the shop for a next day repair, so I had to rent a car for 24 hrs. I had a friend from out of town coming, so I needed to have a car that would look good and ride smooth. This car felt brand new and everything worked...it did not disappoint! I did have to wash the car, but the host was good about it, and he Zelled me the cost of the wash. I noticed, upon returning the car, that the host Ronak has a few other cars available. Loved the ride, so can't really complain. Yes, recommend it!

I really enjoyed renting Ivan's Tesla - | loved it so much that I even extended my trip. This was my first time driving a Tesla, and the pickup process with Ivan was super easy. He's very responsive, understanding, and made everything smooth from start to finish. I will definitely rent from him again. There were way more positives than negatives. The car is beautiful, drives great, has amazing AC, and honestly made me want to buy a Tesla. My friends loved it too. For transparency, the battery life wasn't the best so I had to recharge multiple times, the car made a few small noises, and one of the windows adjustment buttons was broken. The scratches on the car didn't bother me at all. So… Amazing host, Great experience and a car that made my whole trip better. Five stars !

Rent a car and explore Brooklyn, NY

Things to do and places to see in Brooklyn, NY

Brooklyn unfolds best when you’re free to follow instinct rather than timetables. With a car rental in Brooklyn, the borough opens up beyond the familiar snapshots of the Big Apple, letting you drift between creative pockets, waterfront pauses, and lived-in streets that give the city its pulse. If you’re arriving via Kennedy International Airport, it’s easy to find car rentals on Turo that help you move effortlessly through locations, from central Brooklyn to the edges of Manhattan, and discover how each neighborhood within the borough carries its own rhythm.

Brooklyn, NY

Prospect Park

Mornings in Prospect Park feel unhurried, with cyclists tracing quiet loops and locals spreading out beneath old trees as the day warms. Driving here means you can arrive before the paths get too busy, wander from shaded trails to open meadows, and leave when the mood shifts, no rush to make it to the next train or bus.

Brooklyn Heights Promenade

In Brooklyn Heights, the Promenade offers a cinematic pause above the river, where ferries glide past and the skyline feels close enough to touch. With a car, this stretch becomes an easy stop rather than a logistical puzzle, giving you time to linger and take the long way back.

Red Hook Waterfront

Slip through the Carey Tunnel and you’ll find Red Hook, a working waterfront with a slower heartbeat and wide skies. Having a car makes it simple to pair this with nearby Cobble Hill or Carroll Gardens, turning one destination into an afternoon shaped by detours, docks, and streets that feel quietly their own.

Top tips for renting a car in Brooklyn


These handy tips are here to help your rental car experience feel deliberate. A little foresight turns traffic, parking, and timing into part of the rhythm instead of a roadblock.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Brooklyn?


Driving through Brooklyn lets you experience the city as it unfolds, block by block. Arteries like Flatbush Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, and approaches to the Brooklyn Bridge swell during rush hour, usually 7:00–10:00 AM and 4:00–7:00 PM, when commuters funnel toward Manhattan. Outside those windows, side streets begin to flow more smoothly.


Speed limits rarely stretch beyond 25 mph on local roads, and enforcement is taken seriously. Winter brings snow and slush that narrow already tight lanes, while summer construction can redraw routes overnight. This borough rewards drivers who stay observant, flexible, and calm rather than committed to a single path.


What is parking like in Brooklyn?


Metered parking dominates commercial strips, while residential streets follow posted schedules closely. Many locals mix curbside spots with trusted parking garages, especially around Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn Heights.


Facilities such as the Brooklyn Borough Hall Garage are dependable anchors when street parking disappears. Having a car in Brooklyn means reading signs carefully, watching the clock, and being ready to pay attention to details.


Are there toll roads in Brooklyn?


Several crossings in and around Brooklyn involve tolls, including the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel and certain bridges connecting to other boroughs. Some routes may include an additional fee, depending on where your journey takes you.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Brooklyn?


Gas stations are spread throughout the borough, with familiar names like BP and Shell appearing along Flatlands Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, and near the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. They’re easy to find once you’re moving beyond dense residential blocks.


EV drivers are equally well covered. Public charging stations appear in municipal garages, shopping centers, and select curbside locations, making electric travel a practical option. Availability varies by neighborhood, so checking ahead through your preferred charging app keeps things simple.


Do I need to rent a car in Brooklyn?


A car makes it easier to slip between neighborhoods, reach waterfront pockets, or continue onward toward Queens, Long Island, or beyond. Turo adds flexibility to that freedom, offering access to vehicles that fit your plans without rigid pickup routines, helping you shape each day around movement rather than timetables.

On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Brooklyn? 

The cost of car rental in Brooklyn can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Brooklyn look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What rental car types are there in Brooklyn?

Brooklyn offers vehicles that move as smoothly through tight streets as they do beyond the borough. Turo makes it easy to choose a car that fits the moment, including, but not limited to:

- Compact car rental: Models like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla are easy to maneuver and park, ideal for short trips and dense neighborhood driving.


- SUV rental: A Toyota Highlander or Subaru Outback adds space and comfort for longer drives, weekend plans, or carrying extra gear without feeling oversized.


- Luxury sedan rental: Options such as the BMW 5 Series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class deliver refined comfort and quiet confidence while remaining city-friendly.


- Sports car rental: A Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro brings energy to open stretches and late-night drives, offering performance without daily-drive compromise.


- Minivan rental: Vehicles like the Chrysler Pacifica keep group travel practical and comfortable when space, flexibility, and easy access matter most.


- Premium SUV rental: Choices like a Range Rover or Porsche Cayenne offer the presence and comfort of a luxury car while handling urban traffic with ease, making them among the popular cars booked for Brooklyn trips.

* 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. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
