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.
I am so happy to rent with you and your team everytime. Thank you for making the rental process so easy and intuitive! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
nice car very clean good communication definitely give yourself time to find street parking
Host was terrific. The most accommodating host I ever met. The professionalism and process was superb. Above all host I have ever used. Amazing guy! If you need a car rent from Bash! He makes pick up and drop off super easy! Beautiful cars the best C8 I ever rented and I drove over 10 corvettes and other supercars!
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!
The pickup and drop off was hassle free and it’s worth renting a car with Ivan he guided me through the process of picking up and dropping off plus the cars really nice it gives a good mileage will definitely rent again
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.
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.
Great experience overall! The car was clean, comfortable, and in great condition. The host was very friendly, responsive, and made the pickup and return process easy. Everything went smoothly and I really enjoyed the trip. Would definitely rent again. Highly recommended!
Pros: location, price. Cons: faint smell of smoke, condition not like new.
Very friendly host. Car was Immaculate and well maintained. Many compliments on the car during our trip. We will definitely rent again. Thank you!!
Best car good customer service I would lovely rent another car from him or the same car from him I highly recommend
Sasha was so accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for our trip. I accidentally put our rental time for AM instead of PM and did not show up for the reserved pick-up time. She moved the car in a parking garage so I could still pick up the car, even though it was a very inconvenient situation for her. The car was clean and ran great.
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

Who is monthly car rental in New York City for?
Just relocated to New York City
You've landed a new role in finance, tech, healthcare, or media — and you're still figuring out which borough fits your commute and lifestyle. A monthly car rental gives you wheels while you settle in, explore neighborhoods, and decide whether you even need to buy. No rush, no pressure, no five-figure commitment before you've unpacked.
Lease just ended — or just sold your car
Your lease wrapped up and you're not ready to sign another one — or you sold your car and you're weighing your options. A monthly rental on Turo bridges the gap while you take your time deciding what's next, whether that's leasing, buying, or renting long-term. In a city where auto insurance and parking alone can run thousands a month, there's no reason to rush into ownership.
Extended work assignment or traveling professional
Traveling nurses, consultants, contractors, project managers, summer interns — New York City draws professionals on defined-period assignments all the time. Whether you're here for 10 weeks or six months, an extended car rental on Turo is more cost-effective than stacking daily or weekly rates, and you can adjust your timeline if the project shifts.
Post-college or first car
You just graduated from NYU, Columbia, or somewhere in the CUNY system, and you're starting your career in New York City. Your credit history is thin, your budget is tight, and you're not sure where life takes you next. A monthly car rental lets you drive what you need without locking into a loan you can't comfortably afford — and without anyone running a credit check.

Top tips for monthly car rental in New York City
Before you book a monthly car rental in New York City, here are a few things worth knowing to get the most out of your experience.
Finding the best deal
Set your trip length to 30 days or more to unlock the deepest discounts — many Turo listings offer significantly reduced rates for monthly bookings compared to daily or weekly pricing. Use the price filter to browse within your budget, and book in advance when you can. Longer trips of seven-plus and 14-plus days also come with tiered discounts, so even a slightly longer booking can save you money.
How to pick a car
For a monthly rental in New York City, prioritize fuel efficiency and comfort over flash. You'll be driving this car daily — commuting, running errands, navigating tight parking spots. Reliable sedans, compact SUVs, and hatchbacks from brands like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia tend to offer the best combination of value and everyday practicality.
Road rules and conditions in New York City
New York City streets have a default speed limit of 25 mph, with speed cameras throughout the city. Highways range from 55 to 65 mph. Congestion pricing is active for vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street, which is worth factoring into your daily commute. Drive attentively — NYC traffic is dense, and the driving culture is assertive.
Parking in New York City
Parking is one of the biggest considerations for monthly renters. Alternate side parking rules apply citywide and require you to move your car on certain days for street cleaning. For a less stressful option, NYC DOT municipal garage permits run roughly $250 to $600 a month depending on the borough. Private monthly garages range from $400 to $1,200 or more in Manhattan.
Toll roads in New York City
New York City has tolled bridges and tunnels connecting the boroughs and New Jersey. If you're commuting across boroughs regularly, factor toll costs into your monthly budget — they can add up quickly.
Gas and EV charging in New York City
Gas stations are available throughout the boroughs, though they can be sparse and pricey in Manhattan. If you're booking an EV, New York City has a growing network of public charging stations — check availability near your neighborhood before you commit. For a monthly rental, knowing your charging or fueling routine in advance saves time and money.
Types of cars available in New York City
You'll find a wide range of cars available for monthly rental on Turo in New York City — reliable sedans like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, fuel-efficient compacts like the Kia Forte, and family-friendly SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson. Browse by vehicle type, price, or features to find the right fit for your daily driving needs.
Picking a monthly car rental in New York City that fits your budget
Whether you want to rent a car for a month in New York 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 New York 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.

How does monthly car rental pricing work on Turo in New York City?
Pricing on Turo is set by each car's owner, and monthly rates in New York City vary based on the vehicle, its features, and the trip length. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts. You'll see the full price — including any applicable fees — before you confirm your booking, so there are no surprises.
Do I need my own insurance for a monthly car rental in New York City?

Can someone else drive the car I rented monthly in New York City?

Is monthly car rental on Turo cheaper than leasing a car in New York City?
It depends on the car and the lease terms you're comparing, but monthly rentals on Turo in New York City often come out ahead when you factor in the full cost of leasing — the down payment, credit check, monthly payment, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation. With Turo, your monthly price is all-in and transparent, and you can walk away at the end of your trip with zero financial obligations. No lease-end fees, no mileage penalties, no residual-value surprises.
