Car Rental in Jersey City, New Jersey

Try Getaround car sharing in Jersey City

Jersey City, New Jersey is part of the New York City metropolitan area and its waterfront boasts stunning views of Manhattan’s iconic skyline. Jersey City’s biggest claims to fame are, of course, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. But did you know that a whopping 40.6 percent of households in Jersey City do not own a car, giving it one of the lowest car ownership rates in the entire United States? If you’re just planning on staying in JC for your entire visit, you probably won’t need a car. But with a host of fabulous day trips – nature retreats, quaint historic towns and beautiful beaches – all within easy driving distance, it would be a shame not to explore this fascinating little state.
This is where Getaround’s innovative car sharing solution really comes into its own. Unlike standard car rentals in Jersey City that lock you into a minimum rental period and force you to pick up your vehicle from their offices, Getaround allows you to rent for as little as an hour, if that’s all you need, and where you need it. So, if you want a car for half a day in West Bergen – no problem! Getaround matches visitors (you) with vetted, local Getaround car sharers. Plus by bypassing the big rental firms and choosing to car share, you’re putting money back into the local community.

Enjoy day tripping from Jersey City, New Jersey, in your Getaround car share

Why not hop in your Getaround car share and head to the amazing Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, just an hour’s drive from Jersey City. This 42-acre outdoor sculpture park founded in 1984 by J. Seward Johnson features almost 300 artworks by both renowned and emerging artists. Some of the artworks even imitate famous paintings, such as Monet’s “Water Lilies” or Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”. Plus, the grounds themselves are absolutely breathtaking.

Don’t drop your Razza pizza in your Getaround car rental in Jersey City!

While some may think the best pizza is to be had in NYC, JC residents know better! Razza, a multi-award-winning pizza restaurant, serves up thin-crust pies made with locally sourced ingredients. Favorites include Project Hazelnut (homemade mozzarella and ricotta, honey, and hazelnuts). With limited dine-in options, just make sure you don’t drop your Fungi in your Getaround car share!

Keep car ownership low by opting for a Getaround car share while you are in Jersey City, New Jersey

With Jersey City’s extensive public transportation network, you won’t always need access to a car when you’re visiting. But for those times that you do, Getaround’s totally customizable car sharing solution is just the ticket by allowing you to rent when and where you need. And because car sharing reduces the number of cars on the road, you can help Jersey City retain its very impressive low car-ownership status. Top fact: just one shared car can replace up to eight "owned" cars.
