KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hackensack

  • The advantage of car rentals in Hackensack is the freedom that comes with the car.  You are now able to explore Hackensack city center and its surrounding area when you want to without hassles.  For instance, visit historical sites like First Reformed Church which is 54 miles away from the city center.
  • Travelers flying into Hackensack can now start their adventure right from the airport. There are several car rentals with counters right opposite the luggage claim area at terminal 1. While at the airport, you will also see other car rentals in Hackensack, such as Avis, Hertz, Budget and Enterprise. These rental agencies provide airport shuttle transfers to your pick-up location within the airport and outside. Some of these companies offer free shuttle transfer services, so confirm with them first.
  • When driving car rentals in Hackensack, carrying your car rental paperwork agreement is important. Also, you should always look out for pedestrians and cyclists whenever you are driving at night. In some parts of the city, expect a one-way road, and it is hard to find a turn. Ensure you have customized the GPS system navigator in your car to help you with directions when you are driving on such streets.
  • It is better to travel outside of the rush hour. Hackensack traffic congestion can be busy since the roads are always filled with commuters, service buses and taxis. Morning rush hour starts from 7 am to 10 am and later in the evening, around 4 pm to 6:30 pm. Additionally, if you are driving near schools, especially in the city center, be aware of the traffic during morning drop-off and evening pick-up times.
  • Book your car hire in Hackensack at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Hackensack are around 33% more expensive than other car types, on average

I have not received any confirmation to my order. Pick up time was 6 P.M. I arrived there at 6.05. The offices were closed and no one was there to deliver a car. I did not pick the car. The insurance company billed me and sent me a confirmation immediately and the insurance policy so I had insurance but no car. I have tried to cancel the policy immediately on line but they required to upload the rental cancellation documents which I naturally didn't posses. So $33 lost no car and a total waste of time. Avis till this day have not bothered to contact me in any way to inquire what has happened. Basic customer service rules dictate that when a car has not been picked up you contact the customer and inquire about it and offer assistance if needed. Avis have not heard about it. I travel a lot and rent cars often. This was my first and last Avis experience. Needless to say I am not impressed with the insurance company either. They were quick enough to take my money online but made it impossible to cancel and be reimbursed once the trip time has passed even if no trip took place . They assume,and rightly so, that I would not bother to invest my time and energy for such a sum.

Pros:

Horrible customer service!!! Could not even rent the car! Their work ours are different form the advertised and even when I told them that I am going to pick up the car they never waited to the given business hours and closed 60 minutes earlier. Even their main number is very dysfunctional and could not help me with anything by not allowing me to speak with any management stuff. Horrible Horrible consumer service. I will never every rent a vehicle via Hertz

Cons:

They did not close out the rental agreements until 2 days after I dropped off the car and I was charged an additional $300 that still hasn’t fallen off of my credit card! That is an extreme inconvenience and nothing was offered to make amends.

Budget called after I completed my reservation on Kayak and indicated they don’t have a car. Even though Kayak showed that there are cars, so I’m not sure about where the discrepancy is.

The experience was poor with the Badget company in Lodi, New Jersey, I was discriminated by the company when they asked me for my passport when I'm a US citizen living in PR and don't have to travel with my passport. The outcome of this matter was resulting in me being stranded on the highway, with no one to call and having to rent an Uber, and renting a car with another company, I have rented other times with Budget Rental Car and this had never happened to me so this is why I say I was discriminated, I suggest the company reviews there renting policies
