The heart-throbbing New York metropolitan area, spread across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, is the largest and one of the most significant economic regions in the world. With New York City (NYC) at its core, this area is home to renowned landmarks, beaches, diverse neighborhoods, and much more to explore.
Given the region's vastness, hiring a car is the most practical way to explore. Let's understand the intricacies of driving around.
For city rides in compact NYC streets, small or standard cars are suitable. If you plan for a long route outside the city, then SUVs or larger vehicles provide comfortable rides. However, 4x4s are not essentially required unless heading towards harsh weather or off-track routes.
Keep in mind that speed limits usually range from 25 mph in streets to 65 mph in certain controlled access highways. Traffic rules are stringent; so respect red lights, pedestrian crossings, and avoid honking unnecessarily.
Parking can be an arduous task in busy areas; consider options like street-side meters, parking lot, or garages. Public transport is widely available, but none beats the freedom of self-drive.
The scenic Atlantic coast drive towards the southern beaches or northern highlands is worth it. For long drives, I-278 beltway or I-95 corridor are the prominent options.
From the Statue of Liberty and Times Square to the stunning beaches of Coney Island and Fire Island, there are plenty of attractions to fill up your itinerary.
NYC experiences moderate to heavy snowfall in winters (December - February) which might affect driving conditions. Summers (June - August) are hot and humid, perfect for beach visits, while spring and autumn offer temperate weather.
Events like NYC Marathon (November), Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (November), St. Patrick's Day Parade (March) attract thousands. So, the demand for rental cars escalates around these times, plan ahead!
Major airports are JFK International, Newark Liberty International, and LaGuardia Airport. NYC has two significant train stations - Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal which are well-connected. Cruise ports include Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The US dollar (USD) is the official currency, and credit cards are widely accepted.
Now that you have a fair idea about the New York metropolitan area, we hope you have a fantastic self-drive tour. Remember, every corner of this region has something unique. So, enjoy the drive, and let the journey take you beyond the destination. Safe travels!
