How to find National at Islip Airport
Picking up your National car rental at Islip Airport can be done in a few different ways. Collection may be on-site at the airport, through meeting a staff member on arrival, or by shuttle to the rental location. Use the 'Pickup' filter when searching to find out all the available options at the airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up your ride right where you land. Counters sit inside or next to the arrival terminal, so you can go from baggage claim to getting behind the wheel in no time.
Free shuttle bus: This collection option applies when the provider is near the airport rather than at it. A free bus connects the terminal and the rental site.
Meet and greet: Not long after landing, a representative will meet you at the terminal. They'll hand over the paperwork and keys before taking you to your car.
Just want to hit the road sooner? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a lockbox or kiosk instead of going to the rental counter.
National car rental at Islip Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (takes the stress out of changing gears) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most rental companies offer both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to narrow down your options.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You pick up the car full and bring it back full, so you only pay for the fuel you actually use.
Mileage limits: Unlimited mileage lets you focus on the journey rather than the odometer. Find this feature under the 'Policies' filter and cover more ground without piling on the fees.
Age requirements: To rent a vehicle in the United States, you typically have to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may rent vehicles to younger drivers for an extra fee, so always go over the policies before locking in your ride.
Side of the road: If you're new to driving in the United States, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Keep within local speed limits of about 40kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.
Required documents: When collecting your National car rental, you'll typically need your physical driver's licence and another form of photo ID. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.
Deposits and credit card: Providers often place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card as a security deposit. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so it's best to bring a credit card with you.
Insurance: Excess insurance isn't required, but can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Not all insurance policies are equal, so check before booking.
Add ons: GPS units, additional drivers and child seats can all be added while booking your National car rental. Sort these in advance to speed up collection.
