Car Rental HPN
Terminal Pickup — No Shuttle

All rental counters are inside the main terminal building at Westchester County Airport.

The desks are located on the baggage claim level in the arrivals hall — no transit between concourses required.

Lot A — the designated rental vehicle pickup area — is approximately 30 yards behind the terminal exit.

There is no shuttle between the terminal and the rental lot at this location.

All authorized rental brand counters at HPN are open daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, including weekends and most public holidays.

For travelers arriving after 11:00 PM, pre-arranged after-hours pickups may be available through individual brand customer service lines.

After-hours vehicle returns are handled via the key drop box located at the counter — no staff presence required.

Counter hours are subject to change on major holidays; check directly with your chosen brand in advance if traveling on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Day.

In New York State, the minimum age to rent a vehicle is 18 years old at most major rental brand locations.

Renters aged 18–20 are typically assessed a Young Renter Surcharge of approximately $84 per day in addition to the base rental rate.

Renters aged 21–24 typically pay an Underage Driver Fee of approximately $35 per day depending on the rental brand selected.

Standard base rates apply for drivers 25 and older, with no surcharge.

Specific surcharge amounts vary by brand and should be confirmed at the time of booking for the most accurate total cost estimate.

Most rental brands at HPN accept debit cards bearing a Visa or Mastercard logo for renters aged 25 and older.

When a debit card is used, the rental brand will typically perform a credit check prior to releasing the vehicle.

A second valid form of identification is required in addition to the debit card when picking up the vehicle.

Prepaid debit cards, gift cards, and cash are not accepted as the authorization hold method at any on-airport rental counter.

For prepaid bookings made online using a debit card, the same card used for reservation must be presented at pickup.

All rental vehicles at HPN are equipped with electronic transponders compatible with E-ZPass lanes throughout the Tri-State area.

If you drive through any E-ZPass lane, a toll pass convenience fee of approximately $5.95–$6.95 per day is automatically charged to your contract — in addition to the actual toll amounts incurred.

The toll pass convenience fee applies only on days when tolled roads are used, not for every rental day.

To avoid this fee, you may use cash toll lanes at applicable plazas or mount your own personal E-ZPass transponder and keep the vehicle transponder deactivated — confirm this option with the counter agent at pickup.

Booking 1–2 weeks ahead of your arrival date typically yields the lowest available daily rates at HPN rental locations.

Same-day walk-up rates at the counter are routinely 20–40% higher than pre-booked online pricing for the same vehicle class.

Economy and compact vehicle rates at this location start from $34/day when reserved at least one week in advance as of 2024 pricing data.

Weekend availability at White Plains airport tends to be tightest during summer and fall foliage season — book early if traveling in September or October.

One-way rentals — picking up at HPN and returning at a different location — are available from most brands operating at this airport.

One-way drop fees typically apply and vary based on the destination location and the distance from White Plains.

Popular one-way routes include HPN → JFK, HPN → Manhattan, and HPN → Newark Airport.

Specify the return location during online booking using the "Return to a different location" option in the reservation form.

Portable GPS units and in-dash navigation can be added to your reservation for an additional daily fee at most rental brand counters at HPN.

Many current model-year vehicles in the fleet include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, allowing renters to use their own phone navigation at no extra cost.

Request a connected vehicle class when booking if phone integration is important for your Westchester County itinerary.

A valid driver's license issued by your state or country of residence is required for all renters.

International renters should also carry an International Driving Permit if their license is not in English.

A credit or debit card in the primary renter's name is required for the authorization hold at pickup.

Your reservation confirmation — either printed or on your phone — speeds up the counter process significantly.

If using a debit card, a second form of current photo ID is also required per renter requirements at New York State airport locations.

Yes — additional authorized drivers can be added to the contract at the counter for most brands at HPN.

Each additional driver must be present at pickup with their valid driver's license.

An additional driver fee typically applies — commonly $13–$15 per day per extra driver, depending on the rental brand.

Spouses and domestic partners may qualify for a waived additional driver fee at certain brands; confirm at the counter.

The standard fuel policy for most brands at HPN is "full-to-full" — you pick up the vehicle with a full tank and return it full.

If the vehicle is returned with less than a full tank, a refueling service charge applies — typically $8–$11 per gallon, which is significantly above pump prices.

There is a gas station on Airport Road approximately 0.5 miles from the terminal — convenient for filling up before returning your vehicle.

A "prepay fuel" option may be offered at the counter if you prefer not to fill up before returning.

Most rental brands at HPN provide a 29-minute grace period beyond the scheduled return time before any late fees are assessed.

Returns between 30 minutes and 2 hours late may be charged a partial hourly rate.

Returns more than 2 hours after the scheduled time are typically charged an additional full-day rental rate.

If you know you'll be late, contact the rental brand's customer service number in advance to extend your reservation and avoid the late return surcharge.
