Erlis (and his wife) was a great host. Communication and timeliness was consistent and reasonable. Erlis helped tremendously with an issue I was having and went above and beyond as a host to assure the issue was resolved. The Audi A3 was at a great price and drove very smoothly and the maitenance was up to date. Although I had just a one day reservation, I enjoyed the vehicle and the hosts. I would recommend to others to get the experience of a nice vehicle and great hosts. Hopefully, I will be a repeat customer.
All perfect, we had problems with the regular car rental companies, due to price and credit card requirements, booked through Turo Youseff was great quickly responded and delivered the car within an hour to the airport.
Thank you! The host had great communication throughout the entire car rental process—everything was smooth and easy. Highly recommend!
Easy to pick up and deliver, easier than the airport rental car center by far! Car was exactly as advertised. Host very accommodating. Recommend!!!!
It was the easiest car rental ever! Ryan is very easy to work with and I will definitely run from him next time I’m in Jersey!
Thank you for the exceptional car rental experience. Your professional service and the quality of the accommodations made the process seamless, and I will certainly recommend your services to others.
Great price for a great car. Owner gave good directions to how to get to the vehicle and even made it to where we didn't have to pay for any parking fees. Car ran smooth and we had no issues during our trip. Will be using them again in the future!
Used this vehicle for prom!!! Excellent service from start to finish. The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and ready on time. The gentlemen was professional, friendly, and made the rental process quick and easy. Pricing was fair with no surprises. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend their service.
I’ve rented almost all of Alex’s cars, and every experience has been top-notch! Alex is truly the best of the best—always providing excellent service, fast responses, and a smooth rental process. This time, I had the pleasure of driving the 2021 Hyundai Sonata, and it was an absolute dream! I also used the pickup service, which was super convenient and made my trip even better. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly host, Alex is the one. Thank you again, Alex! Looking forward to my next rental. Sincerely TDD
Fantastic experience from start to finish. The host was incredibly accommodating, patient, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire rental process. The Porsche Taycan was absolutely beautiful, well-maintained, and a pleasure to drive. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t think twice about renting from this host again. Highly recommend!
Car was super clean and maintained! Host was the best ever I had never done pick up or drop off was smooth! He went above what I thought! Would rent and recommend him over and over I will surely use his rental again.
The car quality was amazing and the location was wonderful in this quiet neighborhood. The host made everything so simple, from the reservation to the date the car was ready.
Absolutely amazing experience renting from Adeyemi! I rented this Hyundai for over a month and the entire trip went incredibly smooth from start to finish. The car was very safe, reliable, clean, fuel efficient, and had absolutely no mechanical or internal issues during my entire rental period. Communication was excellent, the host was professional, respectful, responsive, and made the whole process stress-free. The vehicle drove perfectly daily with no problems at all, which made long-term renting extremely comfortable and dependable. I highly recommend booking with Adeyemi if you’re looking for a reliable Turo host and a well-maintained vehicle. Definitely a 5-star experience and I would absolutely rent again in the future!
I have rented many cars in my life. I travel a lot and I need fast and reliable service. One of the best experiences I had renting a car. Definitely recommend rental with Alex
Paul was a great host—responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout my trip. I ended up extending my rental, and he made the process seamless. He checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well and that I had everything I needed. The car ran smoothly with no issues and was exactly as described. I would definitely rent from Paul again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive host.
5-Star Experience with David’s Tesla 3 – Newark’s Hidden Gem! If you're in the Newark area and looking for a ride that’s more than just transportation—David is your guy, and his Tesla 3 is the move. First off, David’s service? Impeccable. Professional, responsive, and chill. He made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free. You can tell he genuinely wants you to enjoy the experience—not just rent a car. He walked me through everything, answered questions, and even gave me some quick tips to make the most of the Tesla tech. Now let’s talk about the Tesla 3 itself—this thing is a spaceship on wheels. Instant torque and smooth acceleration? Check. Autopilot that makes the highway feel like a VIP lounge? Yep. Premium sound system that had my playlist sounding like a live concert? Absolutely. Massive touchscreen display, voice controls, energy monitoring, charging info, Netflix while parked—it's all there. The clean, minimalist design inside feels like the future. And don’t sleep on Romance Mode or Caraoke—those features alone are worth it. David keeps the car spotless and fully charged, ready to roll. Whether you're in town for business, leisure, or just want to flex in a Tesla for the day, you can’t go wrong. Highly recommend renting from David—he’s top-tier, and his Tesla 3 is a vibe.
Affordable rental, clean car, met the needs of my weekend trip. Accessible host when I had questions. Easy pick up and drop off instructions.
First trip with Turo, the pickup was easy after a short shuttle ride to the lot. The car had a few scuffs but works fine. At high speeds it tends to rattle a little as previous reviews have stated it must have an alignment issue or something. Has a bit of a smoke smell. Otherwise it was great and easy experience and I’d rent again.

Communicate with your host

How does airport pickup work at Newark International Airport?
Say goodbye to waiting in lines at the rental car facility — arranging your car rental on Turo is as easy as it comes. Strike up a conversation with your host via the Turo app before landing at Newark Liberty International Airport to figure out a convenient location away from airport grounds to meet or retrieve the vehicle and keys.
Due to airport regulations, you are not permitted to coordinate your car rental pickup and drop-off at Newark Airport. Once your flight has landed, make your way to the agreed-upon spot and collect your car.
There are ample accessible locations where you could coordinate car rental pickup and drop-off with your host, including parking garages and malls like The Mills at Jersey Gardens and The Elizabeth Center, both of which are no more than 10-minute rideshare from Newark Airport's new Terminal A (arrivals) area.
How does drop-off work at Newark International Airport?
To coordinate your rental car return, just chat with your Turo host via the app before the completion of your Newark trip. Organize a location that's convenient for both of you within walking or rideshare distance of Newark Liberty International Airport and decide whether you'll meet up in person, or simply leave the car parked and keys in a secure drop box located nearby. No waiting at the rental car facility while you're rushing for your flight — just a seamless drop-off experience that's complete in minutes.
How far is Newark International Airport from Downtown Newark?
Newark Liberty International Airport is roughly four miles from Downtown Newark, making it one of the most convenient city-to-airport commutes around. Driving from Newark Airport to Downtown in your rental car shouldn't take more than 10 minutes in off-peak or 20 minutes at most in rush hour. Once you've collected your car rental from a location near Newark Liberty International Airport, follow signs to Broad Street and take it all the way into the city center.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Newark?
Driving in Newark, NJ, should be pretty straightforward as long as you’re familiar with a few key road rules and local conditions. Like much of the Northeast, drivers here move quickly, so staying aware and confident on the road is essential.
In Newark, follow common New Jersey road rules, including wearing a seatbelt at all times, observing road signage, using your cell phone hands-free, and adhering to speed limits. These are typically 25 to 35 mph in residential and city areas and 65 mph on rural freeways. Speed cameras are in operation across many zones in Newark.
Some additional laws unique to New Jersey include stopping at least 25 feet from a stationary school bus if it has red lights flashing, giving right of way to postal vehicles (in addition to emergency vehicles, as per most other states), and always using headlights when visibility is less than 500 feet. In Newark, it is illegal to idle for more than three minutes unless stopped in traffic or at a stop sign or intersection.
What is parking like in Newark?
Parking in Newark itself is quite straightforward, but like any city, it’s still important to plan ahead. Street parking is available throughout the city, with metered spots in high-traffic areas like Downtown and around major attractions. Metered parking typically runs from 8 am to 6 pm, Monday to Saturday, but keep an eye out for signs about street cleaning or permit zones to avoid fines!
If you'd prefer the safety of a secure spot, there are plenty of parking garages and lots to choose from, especially near major spots like the Prudential Center or Newark Penn Station. For longer stays or special events, garages are your best bet, with reasonable hourly and daily rates. Like in any other city, do not leave your personal belongings in your car rental when parked.
If you decide to head into NYC for the day in your rental car, consider that parking in the big city can be an organizational nightmare. We recommend pre-booking a parking garage in a more affordable area of the city, such as Queens or Brooklyn, so there are no surprises when you arrive.
Are there toll roads in Newark?
While there's technically just one toll road that passes through Newark directly, you're likely to encounter a few more if you plan on driving extensively in the area, especially if you journey into New York City, Jersey City, or other nearby hotspots. The New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) is the most prominent toll road in the area and passes through Newark itself, providing a major connection to destinations across New Jersey and neighboring states like New York and Pennsylvania.
If you're driving into New York City from Newark in your car rental, you'll also encounter tolls on bridges and tunnels, including the Holland Tunnel and the George Washington Bridge. New York state has a whopping 30 toll roads, so if an East Coast road trip is on the cards, this is an important factor to be aware of.
New Jersey and New York tolls are collected electronically using transponders like E-ZPass. If you don't have a transponder, you'll be able to pay via credit when you receive an invoice in the mail.
Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Newark?
As a growing city with over 300,000 inhabitants, Newark has kept up with local demands and is consequently well-equipped with gas stations and electric vehicle charging stations.
When you collect your car rental near Newark Liberty International Airport, you'll notice there are several gas stations nearby, including popular options like Shell, Exxon, and Wawa. Some of the most convenient spots to fill up your tank are located along Spring Street southbound and the McCarter Highway northbound, as well as on the US-1/9 and the New Jersey Turnpike. As you head downtown, gas stations are easy to find throughout the city, with plenty of options along Broad Street, Market Street, Lafayette Street, and Ferry Street in the Ironbound district.
For those who prefer eco-friendly rental cars, Newark has you covered, too. Electric vehicle charging stations from networks like ChargePoint, Blink, and EVgo are located at shopping malls, public parking lots, and hotels around the city. Downtown and the Ironbound area have several chargers within easy reach, perfect for topping up while grabbing a meal or exploring local attractions. If you're traveling to NYC, there's an abundance of charging points to be found along major highways and at key commuter spots, ensuring your electric rental vehicle is always ready to roll.
Do I need to rent a car in Newark?
While there are plenty of public transit options in Newark, the simplest way to journey through the city and beyond is with a Newark Airport rental car. From the minute you leave Newark Liberty Intl Airport, you'll have total control over your itinerary. Cruise around Newark, drive out to the Jersey Shore for a beach day, or take in the brilliant lights and major sights of NYC with ease.
