Car rentals tend to be expensive in the city due to taxes and parking, and getting around New York City via car is not a particularly fun experience.

There are rentals accessible via train in Jersey City (Hertz) off the PATH train, Poughkeepsie and Tarrytown off the Metro North Railroad from Grand Central Station, and at Newark Liberty/EWR Airport off NJ Transit from Penn Station. You can also rent cars in Kingston, NY, a roughly two hour bus trip from New York City.
