Best way to rent a car in NYC

[Ssyaak]

Hey everyone! I’m visiting New York next month and thinking about renting a car to explore upstate. But I’ve heard horror stories about rental car in NYC being super expensive or having hidden fees. Any tips on where to look for decent options? Also, is it even worth it, or should I just stick to public transport? I’d love some real advice from people who’ve been there.
