KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Hauppauge

  • Hauppauge boasts many landmarks and every penny you spend driving Hauppauge car rentals to explore the city is worth it. Bus routes in the city operate on fixed schedules and follow specific routes. This way, you can't fulfill your desire to view scenic places. With a rental car, you create unforgettable memories visiting places like Lighthouse Point Park, around 54 miles north, and West Rock Ridge State Park, about 52 miles from the city.
  • When visiting Hauppauge, you'll likely land at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The rental car lot at the airport is located at the Federal Center. You can choose a vehicle from several car rental agencies, including Enterprise, Budget, National, and Hertz. You can take a free shuttle to the car rental center from the airport terminal. However, these car rental agencies have different rental requirements. So, familiarize yourself before booking to avoid inconveniences.
  • Driving car rentals in Hauppauge can be tricky because of the busy streets. The city is near an industrious park, so you expect several trucks on the road. Hence, be careful when changing lanes and approaching busy highways to ensure a safe journey. Again, though the roads are well-marked and jaywalking is illegal, keep your eyes on the road to protect pedestrians. Again, stop near crosswalks to allow pedestrians to cross safely.
  • Like many highly populated cities, Hauppauge experiences heavy traffic during rush hours. It's mainly in the mornings and evenings between 7 am to 9:30 am and 3:30 pm to 7 pm. You should avoid driving car rentals in Hauppauge on Long Island Expressway (I-495) during rush because it experiences slow traffic and could cause delays. Research possible back routes in the city before driving to avoid affected routes. You can also drive before or after rush hours to avoid frustrations.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Hauppauge?

    Roads in Hauppauge are wide enough for two big vehicles to overtake. Therefore, consider driving a full-size car on your trip. Before choosing a vehicle, consider the distance to drive, number of people on the trip, luggage amount, travel budget, condition of roads, and whether to pick a car that meets your needs. When driving a large vehicle, you have a better view of the road, which helps in road safety. Again, most large cars have better traction, making them easy to drive on uneven roads.

    The general speed limit when driving car rentals in Hauppauge is 55 mph. This mainly applies where there aren't speed sign postings. On major highways, the maximum speed limit is 65 mph. The required speed limit is between 55 and 65 mph when driving on interstate roads. If driving in built-up areas, including business districts and residential areas, the maximum speed limit is 30 mph. If you aren't familiar with the streets, several road limit signs in the city guide you to prevent overspeeding and improve road safety.

  • Where are the best places to park in Hauppauge?

    There are cheap parking lots, metered parking, and garages in downtown Hauppauge. You need to find a spacious and secure parking lot close to the streets. This way, it's easy to park and exit.

The price of renting the car from the hotel instead of the airport was much cheaper. Only thing was I had to call a number when I got to the hotel bc no agent was waiting for me. Was very accommodating when she arrived first car did not have power seats and I couldn’t see over steering wheel so she switched cars to a Camry which did and was a great car. Also said I could bring back to airport and extended the return time.

Got into rental car and a terrible smell of cigarett, opened windows and drove away only to return it and asked for another vehicle. Was given another and used it for the whole time with no problems and will continue to book with them. The agent was very apoligetic and called them for a copy of changed vehicle, which they sent to my email. I had previously booked with this agent and had no problems with the Kia Forte, which eventually purchased when returned from my trip. Your pricing for the rental was so much lower than through other websites that I have booked on and also plan to continue through Kayak.

Car was very clean!! However, Front desk gentleman was not cordial, did not introduce himself nor welcomed me He went straight to asking me "license and credit card" The rear tire was low on air. I did receive a 10% off. I waited for him, and he didn't even apologize for the delay.

the drop off location at Reagan airport was awful. No clear directions on how to return the car.....the return location was a maze...and without the kind help from some employees, it would have been impossible to find. All that woud be required is some clear and visible signs.

All was fine except that they forgot to note that I changed my pickup time to 2 hours earlier. Nobody was there to rent me the car and I had to wait 45 minutes. Backed me up by 1 hour by the time they sanitized the car and I got on the road. Other than that, all was great.
