Though other sections of New York City might have more prestige, Queens is the metropolis' geographical center and the thrifty vacationers' true north when it comes to finding a deal in The City that Never Sleeps. With the most varied economy of any of NYC's five boroughs and a residential scene that combines towering high-rise apartments with freestanding homes, diversity is the name of the game in Queens. It also encompasses the largest amount of land in the city, which means that car rentals in Queens make a lot of sense.

Driving Through Queens

Any NYC vacation packages based in Queens automatically has a leg up when it comes to the wealth of available activities and sights. After you rent a car in Queens, get behind the wheel and head to any of the half-dozen districts that comprise the borough. Jackson Heights serves as a microcosm of the neighborhood as a whole, an ethnically blended enclave filled with historical architecture, gorgeous gardens, and restaurants offering all sorts of diverse flavors. Be sure to check out the many eateries offering authentic Latino, Vietnamese, and Filipino fare. Cruise the streets of Long Island City to see how the arts community has rehabbed industrial spaces into avant-garde galleries or drive to Forest Park, a green space spanning more than 500 acres that boasts hiking paths and a golf course right in the heart of the city. And when you're ready to investigate what lies around The Big Apple, drive west for about 25 miles to the Greenwood Gardens in Short Hills, New Jersey for a little historical beauty. This century-old estate features beautifully manicured grounds and a reflecting pool. Or you can head east for an hour to enjoy some excellent kayaking on the Nissequogue River in Smithtown, New York.
