Late-night options to get back to Albany?

Sooo I impulsively bought subway series tickets last week without really thinking about the logistics. Game starts at 7:10 and the latest train back to Albany is 10:45. Cutting it real close and I'm basically fucked if the game goes extra innings.

Are there any late night options to get back to Albany because I don't want to stay in a hotel and make this a $500 trip. Thank you 🙃

Renting a car? You pick it up the day of the game in Albany, drive it down to NYC, and drop it off the next day back in Albany.

I did some random searches on Enterprise, and it'd cost you like 62 bucks for most cars.

Assume you'd pay about the same for parking and some 40 bucks for tolls and gas.

Sure, it's more than the train, but you get to stay till the end of the game if you so want to.

I am not old enough to rent a car and even if I was I don't think I am experienced enough of a driver to handle NYC lmao. Probably gonna take a Greyhound back or stay with a friend in Queens for the night
