Always 10/10 experience! Car was great, easy pick up and drop off. Stephen and the teams are always top notch and I highly recommend for all car rental needs!
Stephen was extremely professional throughout the entire car rental process. Everything was quick, smooth, and hassle-free. Without a doubt, I would rent from them again!
Easiest car rental process I have ever experienced. Very smooth. Great communication from host throughout, just checking up, making sure everything was cool. Car was just as advertised. Clean inside and out and ran great! Highly recommend renting with Kagan!!
Great communication and very accommodating. Car ran excellent and I would definitely rent their cars again
Recently, my car died on me and left me without a vehicle for my everyday needs. The host was super flexible with my multiple trip extensions. The vehicle was clean and reliable, would recommend using this host again and again to anyone who rents through the Turo platform. Thanks so much again for your Turo-Hospitality!
Great experience! The car was clean, comfortable, and drove perfectly. Pickup and drop-off were quick and easy, and the host was friendly and responsive. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely rent again and highly recommend!
Regular rent with Stephen. Always 5-Star location, many options, and smooth drives at this Lodi spot. This car was a great find.
Kagan and his team were great and easy to talk too! Great rental and look forward to the next trip
Easy rental host was easy to communicate with will rent again with them In the near future
Mashaal was very communicative throughout our trip. Picking up and dropping off the car would have been a little complicated, but Amaar/Mashaal sent a video before the pickup and drop-off time that explains how to do so which was extremely helpful. The car was great!
Easy pickup and drop off. Car was reliable and clean. Great features included and host was attentive during trip.
Great car service host and MPG. No issues with this car. Definitely rent this car again especially with high gas prices.
Top tips for renting a car in Paterson
A few local pointers make driving in and around Paterson easier. Reserve early on Turo for the best selection, and choose a vehicle that suits your plans — a compact car for tight city streets, or an SUV for group trips and nearby parks.
Road rules
Watch the posted limits, which drop to 35 mph in residential and school zones and around 30 mph in the central business district. One local quirk to remember: in New Jersey, attendants pump your gas, so you can stay in the car at the station.
Parking
Downtown Paterson has metered on-street parking along with several public lots and garages, including options near Ellison Street and Van Houten Street. Check posted signs for time limits, and lock your car and keep valuables out of sight.
Toll roads
Major routes like the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike use electronic tolling, so plan your route ahead of time and factor tolls into longer drives.
Gas and EV chargers
Fuel stations are easy to find across the city, and public EV chargers are increasingly available if you book an electric car. Top off before longer trips out of town.
Do you need a car in Paterson?
Public transit and NJ Transit trains connect Paterson to the region, but a rental car gives you the freedom to reach the Great Falls, Garret Mountain, and nearby towns on your own schedule. From here you can also drive to car rental in Hackensack and other Bergen County spots, or head east into New York City.
Turo vs traditional car rental in Paterson
Turo is a car rental marketplace, not a rental counter. Instead of waiting in line at an agency, you book directly with local hosts, choose from a wide range of vehicles, and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your trip. It's a straightforward way to get the exact car you want in Paterson, often closer to where you're staying.
