We don't recommend renting a car to get around Manhattan. New York suffers from a lot of traffic jams and public car parks are very expensive. In fact, many tourists that travel up the East Coast leave their cars in the outskirts of Manhattan and use public transportation to get to the city center.

Hiring a car is the best way to get to see the nearby cities, as public transportation for long distances can be more expensive.
