First time Turo user here. I was a bit apprehensive about renting a car this way but am certainly glad I did. Pick up and drop off at Newark airport was a cinch - no long walks to, or waiting in line at, a big name car rental counter. I walked out of the terminal, at the assigned level and door, and the driver pulled up a few minutes later, put my luggage in the trunk, handed me the keys, I got in and drove away. The car was in excellent condition. I drove it for 5 days, filled the tank on the way back to the airport, and returned the car to the front of the terminal door I picked it up at. A pick-up driver showed up just after I had removed my luggage from the car, I handed him the keys, he drove away and I walked right in to the United counter and checked my bags. Easy peasy and at a fraction of the price I would have paid at a big name rental. Would definitely rent a car from Bernardo again.
I have never, ever had such a great car rental experience! I rented through Turo this weekend, and the service from this team was truly outstanding. In the past, I’ve often had issues with rental companies being late, but that wasn’t the case at all this time. They were punctual, incredibly helpful, and provided clear instructions for a smooth and safe pickup and drop-off. They even showed me how to open the fuel door and explained how the car worked, which made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. The customer service was exceptional, and the whole experience was seamless from beginning to end. I’m genuinely impressed and would absolutely rent from them again. Highly recommend!
The car was fantastic. The service from the owner was fantastic, his communication is excellent and instructions are easy to understand and follow and when I screwed up anyway and forgot to fill up, I did not get hammered for the extra service, price was actual cost of gas plus $10. Hate to admit but that was not my first time and one of the big rental companies hit me for $80 for 4 gallons of gas. Big fan of Turo and their car owners. Great experience.
Johnson was terrific! He was very responsive to messaging and made my drop off and pick up so efficient. So much more convenient than renting from a car rental counter. Thank you Johnson!
Great car rental experience! The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The pickup and return process was quick and easy. Excellent customer service! I would definitely rent again and highly recommend!
Great experience! The car is very reliable, fuel efficient, and perfect for my trip. Edwin was very accommodating as well and made the rental process easy
Great car. They did a wonderful job connecting with us. So much better than going to a rental agency.
Paul literally rescued us. Our reservation with a different person canceled on us 16 mins before we landed. Paul was so quick to accept our last minute reservation and bring us a car. Clean and in great condition. Would rent from again. Thank you Paul
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
Pick up and drop off at my terminal made this the easiest rental car experience to date. Car was as described and the great gas mileage was a plus during these times of high gas prices.
The car rental experience was exceptional—quick, convenient, and very professional from start to finish. Everything was smooth and hassle-free. Great experience overall, and I would definitely recommend them!
What a dream car rental experience! The Audi is comfortable and stylish. It was really fun to drive! It was super easy to find and Alex was very communicative, a great host.
Fantastic car for a fair price. Easy pick up and drop off. Thank you!
nice car very clean good communication definitely give yourself time to find street parking
Robert was very cooperative and well-prepared. Both pick-up and drop-off were effortless. I rented the FK8 Civic Type R from him. The car provides a fantastic driving experience. Power is as much as a FWD drivetrain can sustain and the inputs are very engaging. I recommend!
This was my first time using Turo and it was awesome. My host was Metuchen Drive and it was a great experience. Metuchen went above and beyond to make this as convenient as possible. Dropped the car at the hotel and picked it up at the airport. Metuchen really saved us being that Enterprise Rental Car dropped the ball. I highly recommend Metuchen and Turo. Next time we are in the area I will be reaching out again and won’t even bother with Enterprise. Best rental car experience ever.
I had a great experience renting this Nissan Sentra through Turo! The car was clean, comfortable, and drove smoothly throughout my trip. It was reliable, fuel-efficient, and perfect for getting around. The entire rental process was easy and convenient, which made my experience even better. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to others and would gladly rent it again!

Who is monthly car rental in Jersey City for?
Just relocated to Jersey City
You landed a new job and a new city at the same time, and you're still learning the place. The PATH covers a lot, but you want a car before you know your commute or which neighborhood feels like home. An extended car rental lets you settle in and test-drive Jersey City life before you commit to buying anything.
Lease just ended — or just sold your car
You're between cars, and that gap doesn't have to mean going without. A monthly car rental in Jersey City bridges the stretch while you weigh what to buy next, or whether to buy at all. Book for a month, extend as long as you need, and take your time on the decision instead of rushing into another loan.
Extended work assignment or traveling professional
You're here for a defined stretch — a travel nursing contract at Jersey City Medical Center, a project build-out, or a few months of remote work. For stays of 10 weeks, three months, or longer, a monthly car rental in Jersey City works out more competitively than booking short-term, and it's yours for personal driving throughout the assignment.
Post-college or first car
You just finished school, your credit history is thin, and your budget is tight. Buying a used car means a loan, a down payment, and a commitment you're not ready for. A monthly car rental in Jersey City lets you drive exactly what you need right now, with no ownership strings, while you figure out where life takes you next.
Pickup locations for monthly car rental in Jersey City
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
Flying into Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to start an extended stay? EWR sits about eight miles southwest of Jersey City, which makes it a practical starting point for a monthly rental near the airport. Line up your long term car rental before you land, then pick up a car for the weeks or months ahead.
Exchange Place and the Waterfront
Exchange Place and the Waterfront make up Jersey City's financial district, packed with offices, high-rise apartments, and commuters who take the PATH into Manhattan. If you're living or working here on an extended stay, a monthly car rental gives you an easy way to reach errands, appointments, and weekend trips the train doesn't cover.
Journal Square
Journal Square is a major PATH hub and one of the busiest, most residential corners of Jersey City — a common landing spot when people first relocate. A monthly car rental here pairs well with transit: take the train for the daily commute, and keep a car ready for grocery runs, day trips, and everything beyond the PATH lines.

Top tips for monthly car rental in Jersey City
A little planning goes a long way before you book a monthly rental in Jersey City. Here's what to know about pricing, picking the right car, and getting around town.
Finding the best deal
Use the duration filter to search by the length of stay you actually need. Rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book, and trips of 30 or more days unlock the deepest discounts, with reduced rates on seven-day and 14-day bookings too. Browse by price range and book in advance for the best selection.
How to pick a car
Think about how you'll drive day to day. A fuel-efficient compact keeps commuting costs down, while a comfortable sedan suits longer stints behind the wheel. If you're hauling gear or passengers, a compact SUV adds room. Prioritize reliable, everyday cars — sedans, compact SUVs, and hatchbacks tend to offer the best value.
Road rules and conditions in Jersey City
Traffic runs heavy around the Holland Tunnel approaches and the NJ Turnpike Newark Bay Extension (I-78), especially at peak hours. The PATH train, ferries, and light rail handle most Manhattan commuting, so a car earns its keep on trips beyond transit — errands, appointments, and weekend getaways. Plan drives into the city outside rush hour when you can.
Parking in Jersey City
Parking is tight across Jersey City. You'll find metered street parking at around $1.50 an hour, residential permit zones, and monthly garages near PATH stations like Journal Square, Newport, Grove Street, and Exchange Place. For a longer rental, a monthly garage spot is the practical choice — it saves you the daily hunt and keeps your car secure.
Toll roads in Jersey City
Several routes around Jersey City are tolled, including the NJ Turnpike Newark Bay Extension (I-78) and the tunnels into Manhattan. These use E-ZPass for electronic toll collection. Factor tolls into your budget if your daily driving crosses them regularly, and check the terms on your listing so you know how tolls are handled during your trip.
Gas and EV charging in Jersey City
You'll find plenty of gas stations across Jersey City, plus a growing network of EV charging at spots like Newport Centre, Exchange Place and Harborside, and Journal Square. One local quirk to know: New Jersey is a full-service gas state, so an attendant pumps your gas for you. Just stay in the car and let them handle it.
Types of cars available in Jersey City
Rentals on Turo in Jersey City skew practical and everyday. You'll find reliable sedans like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, fuel-efficient compacts such as the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and Kia models, and family-friendly compact SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Hybrids and EVs are widely available for efficient city driving.
Picking a monthly car rental in Jersey City that fits your budget
Whether you want to rent a car for a month in Jersey City or stay for several months, rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and many listings also offer reduced rates for seven-day and 14-day bookings. About 60% of available monthly supply in Jersey City is priced under $800 per month, with a median around $1,300 per month. You'll see the total price before you book — no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end.

Is there a credit check to rent a monthly car in Jersey City on Turo?

What documents do I need to rent a car in Jersey City on Turo?
To book a monthly car rental in Jersey City, you need a valid driver's license and a Turo account that meets the eligibility requirements. Create your account, get approved to drive, and you're ready to book the car you want.
What kind of license do I need to rent a car in Jersey City on Turo?
You need a valid driver's license to rent a car in Jersey City on Turo. International guests can generally book with a valid license from their home country, subject to the eligibility requirements. Check the requirements when you set up your account.
Is there unlimited mileage on monthly car rentals in Jersey City?
Many monthly listings in Jersey City include a daily mileage allowance, so you get a set number of miles per day. If you expect to drive more, use the distance filter when you search to find cars that offer higher or unlimited mileage for your trip.
Can I get discounts on a monthly car rental in Jersey City?
Yes. Rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book, and trips of 30 or more days in Jersey City unlock the deepest discounts. Many listings also offer reduced weekly rates on seven-day and 14-day bookings, so longer stays cost you less per day.
Can other people drive the car I rented in Jersey City?
Yes. You can add approved additional drivers to your Jersey City rental through the Turo app. Each driver needs to meet the eligibility requirements and get approved before they drive, so set that up in the app rather than sharing the keys informally.
Do I need to return a Jersey City monthly rental with a full tank?
It depends on the listing. Follow the fuel and return terms shown on the car you book in Jersey City, and return the car as agreed. Some listings ask for a full tank while others handle fuel differently, so check the details before your trip ends.
Is monthly car rental on Turo cheaper than leasing a car?
For many people, it can be — especially for a one-to-three-month need. A lease locks you into a down payment, monthly payments, and out-of-pocket maintenance over years, plus the commitment of a long contract. A monthly car rental in Jersey City on Turo shows you transparent, all-in pricing before you book, with no down payment and the freedom to extend or wrap up when your plans change.
