Can anyone advise me on the best way to go about this? It seems that rates within the city are about $130 a day, and outside the city in montclair NJ, very cheap at about $50-70 a day with multiple options

Would my best bet be spending the extra 45 minutes of commuting outside of the city for this purpose? I would assume manhattan would have a very limited selection as well.

Thanks!
You might also check Avis/Budget rates at one of the Edison/Metropark locations. Price it with and without a return to EWR/Manhattan.
