Driving in New York: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in New York.
Most visitors can use their regular licence. If it isn’t in English, bring an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check that your ID matches your booking and payment card.
Navigating city driving
New York has busy avenues, one-way streets and fast traffic.
Navigation apps help you follow the grid and avoid congestion. Driving is easier outside Manhattan, while central streets slow during peak hours or major events.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Several bridges and tunnels around New York have tolls.
Most tolls are electronic and billed to your rental car. There are no emissions zones, but traffic varies widely depending on the time and where you are in the city.
Parking your car in New York
Parking is limited in Manhattan, so car parks are easiest.
Street spaces are scarce and often have strict time limits. Public car parks and garages offer more reliable access. Parking outside Manhattan is simpler, but you may need to walk a short distance to your destination.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in New York are widespread.
Petrol stations are common outside central Manhattan. Charging points are increasing across the city, especially in car parks. Apps like PlugShare help you check availability.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are assertive, especially in central areas.
Expect quick lane changes, busy junctions and frequent horn use. Keep a safe gap, signal clearly, stay alert at crossings and watch for taxis and delivery vehicles stopping suddenly at the kerb.
