Everything about this TURO rental was solid…the car, price, and service! Great people to rent a car from…thank you!
We took a trip to NJ to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and this car rental was by far the best one we have gotten. You will not be disappointed. It was clean. And the owner was just amazing.
Drop-off coordination and general communication by the host was top notch. The car performed perfectly, save for a tired windshield wiper. This was our first trip using Turo and it gave us great confidence to use it for future trips. Definitely a better experience than using corporate rent-a-car companies.
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.
Amazing experience from start to finish! The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire rental process quick and easy. The vehicle was amazing, clean, comfortable, well maintained, and drove perfectly. Head turner! I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend them!
Excellent host and an amazing Mustang! The car was clean, drove perfectly, and the entire rental process was seamless. Richard was responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
The location was out the way but the price was better than everywhere else, car in good order, and most importantly the owner was good to deal with. Would use again.
Amazing customer service from the SKRT team! They made the entire rental process completely stress-free and were incredibly accommodating when it came to communication and flexibility. Will definitely rent from them again!
Outstanding service as always ! Excellent communication, I wouldn’t go with any other company for car rental.
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
I’m very honored to have been Kashyap’s first renter. He deep cleaned his car which was the very first time I’ve gotten this type of service on a Turo rental, after various prior experiences. Provided bottled water and various chargers which were useful during my trip. Don’t hesitate to rent with Kashyap!! Would definitely rent again.
Pickup was easy host accommodated a later pickup , car was so much fun fully autonomous driving literally just enter an address then go .
Host was very accommodating, I Got early for my pick up time and he did not charge extra. The car was good and I did not have any problems.
Excellent car condition, great price, great communication and easy to work with. Thank you very much!
Thank you! The host had great communication throughout the entire car rental process—everything was smooth and easy. Highly recommend!
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.

Who is monthly car rental in New Jersey for?
Just relocated to New Jersey
You took a job at one of NJ's pharma giants or a finance firm in Jersey City, and now you need a car before you know what your commute actually looks like. A monthly rental lets you test the drive, figure out whether you even need to own, and stay flexible while you settle in — without rushing into a purchase you might regret.
Lease just ended — or just sold your car
Plenty of NJ drivers lease rather than buy, which means a lot of people find themselves suddenly carless when a term ends. If you're between vehicles and not ready to sign another contract, rent a car for a month in New Jersey while you take your time deciding what comes next.
Extended work assignment or traveling professional
Pharmaceutical contractors rotating through Johnson and Johnson or Merck, traveling nurses on 13-week hospital assignments, and consultants working on-site across the state all need reliable transportation for a defined stretch. An extended car rental in New Jersey costs less than stacking daily or weekly rates — and you can extend or end early if the project timeline shifts.
Post-college or first car
You just graduated from Rutgers, NJIT, or Princeton, and you need a car to get to your first job — but your budget is tight and your credit history is thin. Monthly rental sidesteps the loan application, the down payment, and the pressure to pick the "right" car before you know where life takes you next.
Pickup locations for monthly car rental in New Jersey
Newark Liberty International Airport
If you're arriving in New Jersey for an extended stay, you'll find monthly rental options near Newark Liberty International Airport. EWR is the second-busiest airport in the New York metro area, and its central location in northern New Jersey puts you within easy reach of major highways and employment centers. Book ahead to line up your car before you land.
Jersey City
Jersey City is one of New Jersey's fastest-growing cities, drawing young professionals and remote workers from across the Hudson. With dense residential neighborhoods, PATH train access to Manhattan, and limited parking, a monthly car rental here keeps your options open without the commitment of buying — especially while you're still figuring out what NJ living looks like.
Newark
As New Jersey's largest city and a major employment hub, Newark draws contractors, healthcare workers, and professionals from across the region. Its proximity to EWR and direct access to the NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway make it a practical home base. Monthly rentals in Newark tend to run more affordable than in neighboring areas, making it a strong option for longer stays.

Top tips for monthly car rental in New Jersey
Before you book a monthly rental in New Jersey, a few local details are worth knowing — from toll roads to parking to what kind of car makes the most sense for your daily routine.
Finding the best deal
Filter by trip length to surface 30-day pricing, which unlocks the deepest discounts. Many listings also offer reduced rates for seven-day and 14-day bookings. Sort by price, compare total costs across similar vehicles, and book in advance when you can — popular cars in high-demand areas like Jersey City go quickly.
How to pick a car
Think about your daily drive. A fuel-efficient sedan or compact SUV covers most NJ commutes comfortably and keeps monthly costs down. If you need more cargo space or regularly carry passengers, a midsize SUV is a practical step up. Prioritize reliability and fuel economy over extras you won't use.
Road rules and conditions in New Jersey
New Jersey uses "jug handle" turns on many divided highways — you'll exit right to turn left, which takes some getting used to. Traffic on the I-95 corridor and NJ Turnpike gets heavy during rush hours, especially near the George Washington Bridge and through the Newark interchange. Winter months bring ice and occasional snow, so plan accordingly.
Parking in New Jersey
In urban areas like Jersey City, Newark, and Hoboken, street parking can be limited and metered. Monthly garage rates typically range from $200 to $400 or more depending on the neighborhood. Many residential zones require permits, so check local rules before you park on the street overnight.
Toll roads in New Jersey
The NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway are the state's main highway corridors, and both charge tolls. If you're commuting regularly, an E-ZPass will save you time and money at every plaza. Keep toll costs in mind when budgeting your monthly transportation.
Gas and EV charging in New Jersey
Gas stations are easy to find throughout New Jersey, and NJ is the only state where attendants pump your gas. If you're renting an electric vehicle, the state has a growing network of ChargePoint and Tesla Supercharger stations, with coverage expanding steadily in northern and central NJ.
Types of cars available in New Jersey
You'll find a wide range of practical, everyday vehicles available for monthly rental — browse car rentals in New Jersey to see what's available. Think Toyota Camrys, Honda Civics, Hyundai Elantras, and compact SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V. These are the kinds of cars that handle NJ commutes and parking comfortably while keeping your monthly cost in check.
Picking a monthly car rental in New Jersey that fits your budget
Whether you want to rent a car for a month in New Jersey 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 Jersey 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.
