If you're spending most of your time in downtown New York (which is just 2 miles away), book a compact vehicle so you can zip in and out of the city traffic with ease. Spending more time on the open road? Choose something that offers a little more room to move.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Long Island City?
Sometimes it's all about the journey, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you're about to head off on an unforgettable road trip around Long Island City, a robust and stylish SUV could be the perfect solution. If you'd like the best possible price and plan on sticking mostly to the city, a versatile compact is a smart pick. All you need to do is work out what'll suit you best, throw your bags in the back seat, and hit the road.

What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in New York?
Normally, one of two things will happen. Your rental company may charge the amount of the fine to your credit card. This is the most common practice. Or it may pass on your contact details to the relevant local authority so the fine is sent straight to you.
Are seat belts compulsory in New York?
They sure are. Although, there may be exceptions for certain vehicles operated by public transportation networks.
Is it illegal to use a cell phone while driving in Long Island City?
Like many places, normal cell phone usage is prohibited while driving a car in Long Island City. An exception applies for hands-free or Bluetooth functions. Just ensure you maintain focus on the road.

In Long Island City, it is illegal to drive with a BAC (blood alcohol content) above 0.08%. If you're in the mood for a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, you'd be wise to leave the car at your hotel.
Is turning on a red light allowed in Long Island City?
Road rules in Long Island City allow drivers at a red light to turn into the direction of traffic nearer to them, without waiting for it to turn green. Before doing so, the vehicle must come to a complete stop and the driver must be certain that the way is clear before continuing on.
