Top tips for hiring a car in White Plains
- Like many municipalities in the U.S., White Plains is best navigated by personal vehicle. This is in large part because of the lack of public transportation available in the city. For example, say you want to go to the Kykuit House. By car, it is an 8.7-mile drive that lasts 20 minutes. But by bus? It would take well over an hour.
- For travelers who plan to pick up a hire car and are landing at Westchester County Airport, you will find the hire car companies located in the Arrivals Hall. If you are instead landing at JFK International Airport and driving to White Plains from there, the hire car desks are located in the Arrivals Area of each terminal.
- In White Plains, and throughout the state of New York, drivers are prohibited from using their cell phones and other handheld electronic devices when driving. This includes taking photos, making phone calls, or sending text messages. The exception to this rule is if the device is hands-free or is somehow affixed to the vehicle. So, if you plan on using your phone as a GPS device, make sure you have it set to a hands-free setting.
- Due to its proximity to New York City, White Plains can experience moderate congestion and traffic during rush hour, particularly for commuters heading into the city. The typical morning rush hour goes from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on heavy mornings and from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 on lighter days. The afternoon rush hour usually lasts from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Book your rental car in White Plains at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in White Plains are around -35% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
There was no manual for the car. Since it had lane assist and auto bright lights I wasn’t sure how to adjust those settings. I wish rental agencies could give a “cheat sheet” of the vehicle at pick up. How to tune the radio, where gas tank door opener is located, things like that.7.6 Good

Pros:
White plains airport is an interesting one. The rental lot is quite far from the check in counter. After the first car reserved was a large SUV and I requested a small sedan, I had to walk back and forth between the lot and counter a few more times than wanted. The agent at the counter more than compensated my trouble and upgraded my car to a Mustang, and kept the same rate! Made it all worth it!Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
Very upsetting experience. Between Kayak or the rental car place, they had the wrong information about my rental car drop-off. I ended up having to pay over $100 more on site because they didn't have the right information, and I obviously did not have any options since I was heading to the airport!Cons:
