For a standard New York City trip you won’t need a rental car but as most of the readers know we are not going on a standard city trip. After the staying first 5 days in Manhattan we will travel to Staten island for the rehearsal dinner of the wedding we will attend. And from Staten Island we need to go to the party location in Garfield, New Jersey. This is almost impossible by public transportation which made us decide to rent a car for the last couple days.

For Danielle there is another important reason for renting a car. She wants to visit the 2 biggest Outlet centers in New Jersey and having a car to drive around makes this a lot easier.

As with our last 2 Florida trips we’ve booked our car with www.usa-reisen.de. And since I’m the one who is driving most of the time I got to pick the car type. This means it’s going to be a SUV again. The size should be comparable with a Chevrolet Equinox (see picture). I guess it will be big enough for the 2 of us.
