KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Trenton

  • Car rentals in Trenton are the simplest way to get around. Trenton and its surrounding are enclosed by Interstate 295. As such, you can drive to New York City in only two hours or Philadelphia in an hour or less. A rental car allows you to travel within the city and throughout the surrounding area. Such flexibility and convenience are impossible by taxi or public transportation.
  • Trenton Mercer Airport has rental car services provided by National and Enterprise. To get a car rental in Trenton from the airport, go to the main level of the passenger terminal. You can pick up or drop off your car rental there. Additionally, Budget has a car rental service outside the airport premises. The airport has shuttles available at the terminal, which take interested travelers to the off-site rental center.
  • When driving a Trenton car rental, always turn right before turning left, a rule in the city. Additionally, watch for road signs indicating when and where turns are allowed. Some areas in Trenton, for example, "The Island," along Route 29, are prone to flooding in months like September. Due to the floodwater, driving can get dangerous hence it is advised that no cars, including SUVs, attempt to cross.
  • Trenton is a metropolitan area meaning that most commuters use their cars to get to work. As a result, getting into the city center can be problematic during rush hour. Trenton has traffic congestion, especially in the morning and evening. It is busiest at 5 pm when most people leave work, but the traffic clears out later in the evenings. As you drive around Trenton, beware of skateboarders and bicyclists who don't seem to be strict followers of traffic rules.
  • Book your rental car in Trenton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size rental cars in Trenton are around 54% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

Cons:

I could not rent the car because they did not accept my type of debit card! It would have been nice to know that before wasting my time setting the appointment and then going to them for the attendant to rudely tell me he can’t accept my chime debit card.

There was only 1 person managing all the pick up and drop offs at this location, so it took us 45 minutes past scheduled pick up time to get the car.

I was quoted a price and when I went to pick up they told me it would be $100 more for drop off at a different location from pick up, but that was already known via the reservation, so why would it not be in the original quote?!?

They didn’t have a gasoline car which I reserved. I was stuck with a low mileage EV which was an inconvenience. Not an upgrade as I was never informed of. It took time to charge and I was subsequently late in the return. The “manager” at the Trenton Mercer Airport location was rude and not at all understanding about this. I will NEVER rent there again.

The vehicle we rented did not have operational windshield wipers and we did not find out until we were in a downpour on our trip. This was very inconvenient and disheartening and took time away from our travels. We also lost all of the air conditioning in our vehicle. We had to drive with open windows and we were very uncomfortable. We tried to exchange the rental and were told there were no other vehicles available. This forced us to change some of our plans and minimize our trip. The temperature guage in the truck was also fluctuating and we were afraid we would break down along our ride. The pickup and drop-off were seamless and both were helpful.

vehicle smelled like blunts, not sure if the workers smoke in there or if nobody checked it after whoever used it last.

Pros:

On pickup the service clerk spent 20 minutes talking to another customer in Russian helping them buy a car dealer and talking shop while I waited in line. He assumed I wouldn't know what's going on, little did he know I speak perfect Russian. With all that going on the computer showed the vehicle with a full tank, when I was at empty. We had to work it all out upon return on the vehicle in a different state. I did forget my EZ pass in the car and once I realized what happened I contacted Budget to request tag to be returned. Both the drop off site and customer service claim they don't have the tag, yet I see Florida toll charges on it. Obviously forgetting the tag in the car is my fault, but how anyone claim the car is disinfected and cleaned if the tag attached to the window is missed?????

Cons:

I never ordered a car for pickup in Trenton. I ordered one for pickup in Philly. I canceled this order by phone and placed a new order directly through Budget's website for pickup in Philly. Somehow this reservation in Trenton wasn't actually canceled because someone then called that morning asking where I was to pickup the car.
