Our fleet is based here, on West Side Avenue. That means the car you book is ours, maintained to one standard, with one number to call if anything goes wrong. From $48 a day, with weekly and monthly rates for longer stays.
One PATH stop from Manhattan and roughly 20 minutes from Newark Liberty, Jersey City works as a lower-cost base for New York travel and as a home market for rideshare drivers.
Downtown / Exchange Place: closest to the PATH, best for Manhattan commuters.
Journal Square: the city's transit centre, with the widest vehicle selection.
The Heights: residential, easier street parking, good for longer rentals.
Newport: convenient for the mall and waterfront.
Greenville: southern Jersey City, closer to Bayonne.
Tolls: E-ZPass covers the Holland Tunnel, NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. Charges during your rental are tracked through TollSpot and billed with the booking.
Nearest major airport: Newark Liberty International (EWR), roughly 20 minutes away.
Parking: much of Jersey City operates residential permit parking, so plan where you will leave the car overnight.
Worth knowing: New Jersey prohibits self-service fuel. An attendant pumps at every station in the state.
Liability: up to $1M on every booking, plus New Jersey state minimums for physical damage and property.
Deductible: $3,500 for vehicles valued at $55,000 or under, $6,000 above that.
Chosen at checkout: you pick your coverage tier before booking.
Every renter verified: ID checked, minimum age 21.
Jersey City sits one PATH stop from Manhattan, which makes it one of the most practical places in the region to base yourself. Hotels cost less than across the river, the transit links are excellent, and a car covers everything the PATH does not, from the Jersey Shore to the Delaware Water Gap.
The other half of demand here is work. Jersey City has a dense population of Uber, Lyft and delivery drivers, many of whom rent rather than own because a vehicle sitting idle between shifts is expensive to keep.
Rentals start from $29 a day. Owners set their own daily, weekly and monthly rates, so what you pay depends on the vehicle, the dates and the neighbourhood. Weekly bookings are consistently cheaper per day than seven separate days, and if you are driving for a platform, the weekly rate is the only number worth comparing.
Handover is arranged directly with the owner rather than at a counter. Most Jersey City pickups happen around Exchange Place and Downtown for PATH access, Journal Square for the widest selection, or The Heights where street parking is easier and longer rentals are simpler to manage.
E-ZPass covers the Holland Tunnel, the Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway, and tolls are tracked through our TollSpot integration and charged to you transparently. Much of Jersey City operates residential permit parking, so agree a return point in advance. New Jersey prohibits self-service gasoline, so every fill-up is full-service.
Newark Liberty is roughly 20 minutes away. All drivers must be at least 21.
Parking in Jersey City is expensive and scarce, which is exactly why so many people here rent rather than own. If you have a car that sits still most of the week, that scarcity works in your favour.
Listing is free. You set your own daily, weekly and monthly rates, you block any dates you need the vehicle, and we charge zero commission on what you earn.
Three groups, in roughly this order. Rideshare and delivery drivers who need a qualifying vehicle and rent by the week, which means fewer handovers for you. Visitors using Jersey City as a lower-cost base for New York, who typically take three to seven days. And local residents who gave up owning a car because the parking maths stopped working, and who rent for weekends and trips out of the city.
Demand is steady year-round rather than seasonal, with a modest summer lift as shore traffic picks up.
The vehicle must be registered and insured in New Jersey, and most passenger cars require a current biennial state inspection.
Think about your handover point before you list. Downtown and Journal Square are the easiest for renters to reach on the PATH, while The Heights and Greenville offer easier street parking for longer bookings.
Every booking carries liability coverage up to $1M plus state minimums, with a deductible of $3,500 for vehicles valued at $55,000 or under and $6,000 above that. Tolls your renters incur are charged to them, not to you.
Jersey City rentals start from $48 a day. Weekly and monthly rates work out lower per day, and all three tiers are shown on every vehicle before you book.
