KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Atlantic City

  • You’ll find that car hire in Atlantic City is one of the best ways to get around the city, as well as exploring the New Jersey coastline and neighbouring cities. In a hire car you can visit nearby places such as Philadelphia, which is roughly 60 miles away, renowned for its American history, museums, and food culture. Along the coast, you can reach Cape May in under an hour by car, and here you can admire the picturesque beaches and idyllic streets with Victorian architecture. And only 10 miles south of Atlantic City, you can drive to Ocean City where you can enjoy a family-friendly day at the beach.
  • If you arrange car hire in Atlantic City, you can find many different car hire agencies in the city; however, your best bet would be to hire your car at one of the agencies based at Atlantic City Airport (ACY). You can locate the car hire desks at the airport in the Arrivals Hall, but the main offices and car collection points are in the building directly opposite the airport terminal building, just cross the road and follow the signs towards car hire.
  • Once you’ve arranged Atlantic City car hire, be sure to get used to the specific driving regulations of the region, keeping in mind that they may differ slightly from the ones you are familiar with in your home country. In the United States, vehicles travel on the right side of the road. If you’re travelling with children, New Jersey law requires that children under the age of eight must be seated in a booster seat. Also, be aware of the strict drink-driving laws for New Jersey, with the blood-alcohol limit being only 0.08%, so it’s best to avoid drinking altogether.
  • When driving around Atlantic City, it is recommended to steer clear of certain roads that are prone to congestion, especially during the morning rush hour (between 07:00 and 09:30) and the evening rush hour (between 16:00 and 19:00). The Atlantic City Expressway, which connects the city with the rest of New Jersey, is popular with commuters, so is best avoided during rush hour. Other routes you might want to avoid include Pacific Avenue, which runs to the Boardwalk via the city centre; Brigantine Boulevard, which connects with Brigantine town; and Ventnor Avenue, which connects various neighbourhoods.

  • What’s the speed limit in Atlantic City?

    When it comes to speed limits in Atlantic City, you’ll find that in residential areas you can only drive up to 25 mph, while inner city roads, including major roads and highways, the speed limit is 35 mph. When driving outside the city, the speed limit for New Jersey state for highways and major roads is between 50-65 mph, depending on the specific road and location, so keep an eye out for signposted speed limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Atlantic City?

    After arranging your car hire in Atlantic City, you can park for free along Atlantic City Boardwalk, but during peak tourist season spaces can be taken up quickly, so try to get there early. Also, residential streets in this area have parking spots available, but be sure to check for any posted restrictions or time limits. You can also find streets with paid parking meters dotted around the city, with charges coming to around $1-$2 (£0.76-£1.52) per hour. While some casinos have paid car parks, which charge on average $10-$15 (£7.64-£11.47) per space.

Upon arrival at 2 pm I was charged $40 more due to early pick up, without being asked if I were to bring it back early also. After noticing the up charge it was brought back to the original charge. It feels wrong to just add $40 without telling or asking.
