KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bangor

  • Nothing calls for a hire car quite like the scenic roads of Maine. It is highly suggested that visitors to Bangor take the chance to admire the scenery and there’s no better way than driving the roads yourself. One great option for visitors is to take a drive down to Acadia National Park (43 miles away). Additionally, like many cities in the U.S., private vehicles are by far the most convenient means of transport in Bangor.
  • Looking to rent a vehicle right when you arrive in Bangor? If you are flying into Bangor International Airport, you will find the hire car counters located in adjacent to Baggage Claim on the first floor of the Domestic Terminal.
  • Bangor, like much of Maine, has its fair share of wildlife. It is highly advised that drivers keep their eyes open when driving on rural roads and highways, especially at night. Wildlife appear in higher numbers in the summer and spring, so be particularly cautious during the warmer seasons.
  • Luckily for visitors and commuters in Bangor, traffic in the city is very light. During the work week, drivers can expect to experience a slight increase in congestion around 7:00 a.m., lasting until 9:00 a.m. During the afternoon and evening the traffic picks back up again just around 4:00 p.m. and cools off at around 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. If you are looking to avoid traffic during your time in Bangor, then Main Street and Union Street are the two roads to skirt around during rush hour.
  • Book your rental car in Bangor at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Bangor are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Bangor

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Bangor?

    Bangor’s streets are well suited for all sizes of vehicles. Sedans, coupes, SUVs, and even large trucks will all be perfectly comfortable on the road, so all vehicle options are a good choice for renters. Additionally, streetside parking spaces are large enough for even the biggest of hire vehicles, so parking is a non-issue.

  • What’s the speed limit in Bangor?

    Speed limits start out at 25 mph for residential, downtown, and shopping areas in Bangor. Aside from that, 30 mph and 40 mph speed limits are seen posted on the main roads and larger streets in the city.

  • Where are the best places to park in Bangor?

    Parking garages are one of the better options for drivers in Bangor.

Streetside parking is still available, though; it is just limited in quantity during the peak hours of the day. Paid parking in the downtown area costs around $1.00 per hour on average.

Pick up was inconvenient; staff was all over the place and couldn’t locate my original reservation. Tried to charge me almost twice the original agreed upon price. Also should have mentioned a $200 security deposit being added to the total balance from the beginning. Biggest annoying factor was that I had to make sure I wouldn’t be charged for prior damage done to the vehicle I picked up. Driver side mirror completely gone. Definitely sketch when going to drop off my car and they ask if I did the damage myself. Seems like there should be better communication on the company’s part when giving out damaged rides. In my opinion not worth the price or the hassle.

No a criticism of Budget, but of Kayak - the third party insurance that we purchased through Kayak was cancelled with no reason provided.

My Budget Camry rental was upgraded to a new Chrysler Pacifica, and the van was a comfortable hybrid with a smooth ride, easy-to-use controls, and excellent mileage. Both pick-up and drop-off at the Bangor airport were quick and easy. I was pleased with both the rental vehicle and the rental experience.

Accessing a small regional airport compared to a large international one greatly improves the travel experience. Upon entering the return lot at Bangor the signs clarifying where to go to reach a specific vendor are in need of improvement.

Pros:

We loved the Nissan SUV that we were given. Might even buy one ourselves :). The pickup was a couple of hours too early, but that was an easy adjustment for the salesperson. Loved the good deal from KAYAK. Saved about $350 total for one week!

Cons:

I honestly don't like the hard sell that car rental companies often do and Alamo was no exception. She tried to sell me the full tank of gas, insurance that would have duplicated what we already had, told us about a toll booth gadget, but did not inform us there would be high charges if we used it $3.95/day we later found out. I would love it if ONE car company was truly honest and told us "You really don't need this, but we offer it"

We had to wait about 20 minutes for someone to come to the counter. We were at least first in line by the time they came back. Someone from another car rental kiosk said they were moving cars and would return. Everything else was pretty good. It was a little difficult to find the car, but we eventually figured it out.

The gas tank could have been filled rather than half empty and the license tans could have been legal. They expired two months back and I worried about being stopped the whole time for expired plates.

Joey, Sept 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The car was in good condition

Cons:

When we arrived, we were told that they did not have a car for us and could not get one. They said we could wait around to see if someone else did not pick up their rental and we could have their car. After waiting for an hour, we were told that we would have to come back to the airport in the morning to pick up a car. Our hotel was over an hour away, so we asked if they would pay for us to stay in a hotel nearby. We were told "no", that we would have to come back at 11am the next day. After paying to get a ride to our hotel and back to the airport, they gave us a measly $35 credit for our trouble. I would ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE rent a car from them again.
