On average, car rentals in Cherry Hill cost around $99 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $30 per day.
Compare pickup spots: Local Cherry Hill offices often run 15-20 % cheaper than PHL airport desks because there are no airport surcharges. A quick rideshare from the terminal can still leave you ahead.
Book early only for shore-season (June-Aug): Rates spike when everyone heads to the Jersey Shore. For the rest of the year, keep an eye on prices and grab a deal closer to travel.
Lock a free-cancellation rate and keep stalking it: Reserve now, then re-check weekly. If the price drops, cancel and rebook in two clicks. Easy money.
Go small unless you truly need space: Compacts are cheaper, sip less gas and fit Philly's tight garages. Upgrade later at the counter if the price is right.
Bring your own gear: Your phone's maps beat the $15/day GPS add-on and a personal E-ZPass tag avoids the rental company's toll plan markup (plus scores NJ Turnpike discounts).
Refuel on the Jersey side: Gas is usually 20-30 ¢/gal cheaper than PA/NY. Top off at a full-service station before crossing state lines or returning the car to dodge $9-per-gallon refuel fees.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Cherry Hill?
You need a valid driver's license and a credit card. If you're visiting from another country and your license isn't in English, you should also bring an international driving permit.
Can I drive my rental car to New York City or Philadelphia?
Yes, most rental companies give you unlimited mileage to travel anywhere in the United States. Be aware of tolls and that NYC may have extra fees for driving in busy areas.
How do I handle tolls in New Jersey?
Most rental companies give you an E-ZPass option for tolls. You can join their toll program for about $5–$7 a day plus the actual toll costs. You can also use your own E-ZPass transponder if it works in the car.
What happens if I get a flat tire or breakdown?
Most rental companies provide basic roadside assistance. You can find their phone number in your rental agreement or on a sticker in the glove box. For emergencies on highways, you can also call #77 to get help from the New Jersey State Police.
Are there any driving restrictions I should know about?
Most companies let you drive to Canada, but you have to tell them when you pick up the car. They do not allow you to drive their cars to Mexico. You can drive to nearby states like Pennsylvania, Delaware or New York without any problems.
How does fuel work with rental cars in New Jersey?
By law, New Jersey only has full-service gas stations, so an attendant will pump your gas for you. The rental company gives you the car with a full tank. You should return it with a full tank to avoid refueling charges, which can cost $9–$10 per gallon.
What if I need to return the car after hours?
Most rental places in Cherry Hill let you drop off the car after hours using a key drop box. Locations at the airport are open 24/7. You should check your rental agreement for the exact steps to follow.
