The best RV rentals in Jersey City, NJ

As a major urban city, parking is limited in Jersey. For RVers, it's best to park outside of town and get around via the Hudson-Bergen light rail or PATH train system as the locals do. Alternatively, if you're a member of a car share service, you can rent a vehicle to zip around between stops. No matter what neighborhood you're exploring, keep your eyes up to spot the hundreds of beautiful murals scattered throughout the city as part of the Jersey City Mural Arts Program. While strolling around town on foot, make your way down Grove Street, and pop into quaint bookstores and cool shops. Don't forget to stop for a hoagie or a slice of famous Jersey pizza.
