FAQs on Car Rental in New York City

The answer depends on your personal preferences, driving needs, and financial situation.

Leasing may be a good option if you want to drive a new car every few years. Car rental companies offer short-term solutions if you need a car for a specific period but can be more expensive in the long run. While buying a car may be more cost-effective if you need a car long-term, you'll also have to pay for maintenance, insurance, and repairs.

Additionally, a car subscription may be a good alternative that provides flexibility without long-term commitment. Unlike with leasing, rental agencies, or buying, your transparent monthly fee includes everything you need to hit the road: insurance, maintenance, registration, and emergency roadside assistance. Plus, you save dollars thanks to our great deals with insurance and maintenance companies.

Car subscriptions and car rentals are different in terms of their flexibility and commitment.

Unlike short-term car leases or long-term rental cars, we don't require a down payment and we cover the cost of insurance, registration, repairs, maintenance, and roadside assistance.

The main difference between car subscriptions and car rental deals is the duration - think of a subscription as a monthly car rental or a short-term lease. Renters are usually restricted by a maximum length for a rental term, ranging from a couple of weeks to several months, whereas car subscription services are designed to offer you flexibility and carry on for as long as you need. With a FINN car, your subscription is all-inclusive.

At the end of your subscription term, you can switch to another FINN car or simply walk away.

The cost of renting a car in New York City varies depending on the company and the duration. In general, with a rental contract, there is a maximum length for a rental term, a deposit is required and you'll need to pick up the vehicle.

With a FINN car subscription, you’re only paying one transparent monthly fee that includes everything you need to hit the road: insurance, maintenance, registration, and emergency roadside assistance. And while we don’t offer unlimited mileage, 850 miles we give you for free each month. By the way, you can pay with a debit card, credit card, or via linking a checking account.

If you were looking for a cheap car rental, consider subscribing for longer (6-12 months) to benefit from savings. This is why a FINN car subscription is priced better than most rental rates out there. All you need is a valid driver’s license and 5 minutes of your time.

When choosing to rent a car in New York City, it's important to evaluate your daily needs and wants. In other words, renting the perfect car means many different things to many different people.

If you plan on spending the majority of your time in town, a compact or mid-size SUV like the Chevy Blazer may be most suitable. If you're hitting the road with your family and luggage capacity is a must-have, consider renting an 8-seater such as the Jeep Wagoneer. You might also be interested in other brands like Hyundai or Toyota. Check our fleet today and make use of filters to narrow down on the car that suits you best be that a full-size SUV, a minivan, a passenger van, or a luxury car. One of our rental best sellers is the Chevy Traverse.

When choosing a car subscription instead of renting, you won't have to pick up your vehicle like with traditional car rental locations. All of our cars are delivered to your preferred address with a doorstep drop-off. Just schedule the convenient pick-up time as you’re booking the car. The vehicles arrive in ready-to-drive condition so that you can hit the road as soon as we hand over the keys.
