Always wished I could take the wheel of a Slingshot. John made it possible. It turned heads and put smiles on their faces. It was pure thrill in the open sky! If you’re a local or just visiting the shore I wouldn’t miss a trip with the coolest thing to get around town!!
Great car, we'll maintained. Very very good gas mileage, one of the best type of cars to go with. Host is very responsive from pickup to check up and drop off. Easy clear instructions. Can't find any better or easier.

Top tips for renting a car in Lakewood
A few local pointers make getting around Lakewood easier. Here's what to know before you book.
Getting around and whether you need a car
Lakewood is spread out, and many of its best spots — Lake Carasaljo, Georgian Court, and the Jersey Shore beaches — are easiest to reach by car. NJ Transit buses serve the town, but a rental car gives you the freedom to set your own schedule.
Parking
Downtown Lakewood offers street parking and public lots; check posted signs for time limits, and consider a compact car for tighter spaces. Attractions like FirstEnergy Park and Lake Carasaljo have ample lots.
Toll roads
Two main routes near Lakewood are tolled — the Garden State Parkway and Interstate 195 connections toward the Turnpike. Plan your route ahead so tolls don't catch you by surprise.
Gas and EV charging
Gas stations are easy to find along Route 9 and the main corridors through Lakewood. Driving electric? Public charging is available around downtown and shopping centers, so an EV is a practical pick for local trips and shore runs.
Car types
Match the car to your trip: an SUV for family beach days, a compact for city errands, or a Tesla rental in Lakewood for an efficient, quiet drive.
Cost
Prices vary by vehicle type, season, and trip length. Booking early and choosing weekly or monthly durations can help you find better value in Lakewood.
