KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Smithtown

  • Using car rentals in Smithtown offers numerous advantages that set it apart from alternative transport options. The convenience of having a vehicle at your disposal grants the freedom to explore the city and its surroundings on your own schedule without being tied to public transportation schedules. Whether for business or leisure, renting a car in Smithtown promises a personalized and efficient way to navigate the area. With Smithtown car rentals, you can visit areas like the scenic Nissequogue River State Park, the historical Caleb Smith State Park Preserve, and the charming town of Stony Brook.
  • When visiting Smithtown, you have three airport choices for landing: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark Airport (EWR). To get to the automobile rental desk after landing at JFK, use the Air Train to Station C/Federal Circle. The automobile rental desk at EWR is conveniently situated close to station P3, which is reachable by Air Train from Terminals A, B, or C. Shuttles for renting a car are provided at LGA to take you to Terminal A, where the counter is located.
  • The generally calm and relaxed driving style makes driving car rentals in Smithtown easy. Drivers tend to respect traffic rules, contributing to a safer environment. While occasional impatient instances exist, aggressive driving is less prevalent compared to busier urban areas. Bicycles and pedestrians are standard, given the town's suburban nature, yet motorists generally accommodate them. Standard vehicles on the road include sedans, SUVs, and some pickup trucks, reflecting the town's suburban character and lifestyle.
  • Difficulties of driving car rentals in Smithtown can arise during rush hours, typically in the mornings (7 am to 9 am) and evenings (5 pm to 7 pm) when increased traffic congestion occurs along major routes like Jericho Turnpike and Route 25. Navigating through these areas might require extra patience and time. The presence of school zones and pedestrians during certain hours could demand heightened attention. While Smithtown generally maintains a calmer driving atmosphere, being mindful of peak traffic times and pedestrian-heavy zones is crucial for a smooth car rental experience.

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.

Horrible! I never ended up using them because the care I booked was never available at that site or any site on Long Island. I was left stranded hours before I had to take my son to college. Also when I called to let them know I was on my way to pick up the vehicle I was placed on hold for over 45 minutes. I am glad called and waited on the line because things would’ve been much worse had I hang up. Horrible service to put it mildly.

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 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.
