Because the state of New Jersey is a rather large state, the type of car you'll be able to rent is going to depend on where you plan on renting your car from. If you are looking for the widest selection of cars to rent, try renting in large cities. An even better option is to rent at major airports, such as Newark International Airport (EWR), where you will find all of the major rental car companies. For most times of the year, pretty much any type of car is going to work well, but it is important to remember that during the wintertime, roads here can get snowy and icy, making an SUV a good choice during these times of the year. No matter which type of car you rent, be sure to carry tire chains during winter driving.
Driving in New Jersey is not much different than driving in any other state in the United States but there are some unique rules you should know about when you drive here. If you plan on passing another vehicle, someone on a bike, or even a skateboarder that is on the road, you must honk before you pass. If you happen to come upon a horse-drawn carriage on the street, you cannot pass them in your car. One unique thing that occurs in very few states in the United States, but does happen in New Jersey, is that you are not permitted to pump your own gas here.
Because the state of New Jersey is not far from the United States-Canadian border, drivers may wonder if they can take their car into Canada. Most rental car companies will allow you to drive your car into Canada without any restrictions. It is important to let the rental car company know that you plan to drive the car to Canada so they can provide you with a non-resident insurance card for driving there.

Should I rent a car in New Jersey?
The decision of whether or not to rent a car in New Jersey comes down to where you plan on traveling during your stay. If you are going to stay within a large metropolitan city, such as Newark, there are plenty of public transportation, taxi, and ridesharing options to get around town without needing a car. If you plan on traveling more extensively through New Jersey, especially to some of the smaller towns, you will most likely want a car to maximize your convenience and enjoyment during your trip.
What is driving like in New Jersey?
Driving in New Jersey is very similar to other states in the United States because people drive on the right side of the road and all speeds are in miles per hour while distances are also in miles. Most road conditions will be very good in New Jersey with the only exception being as you get into very small towns. One very important thing to keep in mind when you drive in New Jersey is that the state has over thirty toll roads, so it is important to consider that as you plan trips throughout the state.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in New Jersey?
Age requirements can vary depending on the rental car company you are using, but for the most part, most rental car companies will let anybody who is twenty one or older rent a car. A couple of exceptions to this rule are if you want to rent a luxury vehicle or a premium SUV. In this case, the company may require you to be twnety five years or older. This age restriction can also come into play if you plan on using a debit card to hold your reservation rather than a credit card.
