Driving in Manhattan can be intimidating but with foresight you can have a smooth drive in your Sixt car rental. We recommend you take advantage of our optional GPS service to know about the shortest route due to traffic. Also, make sure to look out for signs listing parking regulations on city streets. Most streets also require paying a meter, which you can do via cash, coins or credit card.
Viewing a map before driving is also helpful as some areas of the city are pedestrian-only. Speaking of pedestrians, many New Yorkers and visitors walk everywhere and it is important to pay attention. During certain hours turning may be prohibited at some intersections and will be marked by signs. And unlike in other US cities, drivers cannot turn right at red lights unless there is a separate turn signal.
If you go beyond the borders of Manhattan in your rental car there are several options. The Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg bridges take you to Brooklyn, while the 59th St. Bridge takes you to Queens. Upper Manhattan also has connections to the Bronx. And two tunnels and the George Washington Bridge connect Manhattan to New Jersey.
You can start your exploration by driving from Battery Park up the Hudson River to Harlem, a long-time home to African-American culture. In Greenwich Village, you can still find clubs and small restaurants with a hint of the Bohemian past of the neighborhood. Check out the bar scene in the East Village or scratch your shopping itch at the boutiques in Soho. And for an international feel and a budget meal, head to Spanish Harlem or Chinatown. A secret in the business-heavy east 50s in Midtown East are the many hidden Japanese shops and restaurants. Mingle with Japanese businessmen over a bowl of ramen or buy some high-end pottery.
If you head out of New York City, there is much to explore! There are many natural beauty sites including the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. This historic valley with its stunning waterfalls has been a popular vacation destination since the Victorians. As part of the Appalachian Trail, it's a beautiful route to hike.

Manhattan is the center of finance, media, culture and fashion in the US. When you find yourself in the city on business you may need to go from meeting to meeting, on your schedule. With a car rental in Manhattan, you can do that easily, although be sure to factor in time for traffic and to find parking. There are many parking garages and lots located throughout the city, but take note of the cost as there could be different prices on the same block.
