Cheap Car Rentals and Amityville
Amityville is a village located on Long Island in Suffolk County. It is perhaps best known for being the setting of the best selling book and horror movie, The Amityville Horror, which was most recently released in 2005. However, there is a lot more in Amityville than one supposedly haunted house. Amityville is a community located on the south shore of Long Island only 20 miles from New York City. With a cheap car rental, you can travel to the city and explore Long Island during your stay. Tradition holds that it was named for the boat of the town's largest landowner, but another tradition also claims that it was named as a settlement of a dispute over what the area should be called. As part of the Town of Babylon, there is a lot to do in the area around Amityville.
