EVERY TRIP INSURED

Car Rental in New Jersey

In New Jersey the cars are ours. We run our own fleet out of Jersey City, which means one standard across every vehicle and one person to call if something goes wrong. From $48 a day, or take a weekly or monthly rate if you need it longer.

What this means for drivers

What renting in New Jersey actually looks like

Car rental in New Jersey usually means one of three things. You are visiting the New York area and want a base that costs less than Manhattan. You are driving for Uber, Lyft or a delivery platform and need a qualifying vehicle without buying one. Or you live here, own nothing, and need a car for a weekend, a week or a month.

RentUFS serves all three the same way. You book a car from someone who lives nearby, agree a handover point, and drive. There is no counter, no shuttle bus, no queue, and nobody at a desk trying to sell you cover you may not need.

What it costs

New Jersey rentals start from $48 a day. Owners set their own daily, weekly and monthly rates. Weekly bookings are almost always cheaper per day than seven separate days, and monthly rates drop further again. If you are renting for rideshare work, the weekly rate is the number to compare.

    What this means for hosts

    Hosting with RentUFS

    New Jersey is the one state where RentUFS owns and operates the fleet directly, from our base on West Side Avenue in Jersey City. Vehicles here are ours, maintained to a single standard, with one point of contact for every booking.

    If you own a car you would like to list with RentUFS, hosting is open across our other seven states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland and Texas. We charge zero commission, so you keep 100% of the rate you set.
