Top tips for hiring a car at Bar Harbor airport

  • One of the advantages of choosing to do car rental at Bar Harbor Airport (BHB) is that this airport has very limited public transportation options, and even this transportation option is seasonal. While there certainly is taxi service available at this airport, if you plan on doing a lot of traveling around this wonderful area, this can become a very expensive way to travel. That is why Bar Harbor Airport car rental is quite often the most convenient choice for travelers to this area.
  • An important thing to know about car rental at Bar Harbor Airport is that there are only two companies that offer services at the airport. Hertz offers car rental services year-round at this airport, while Enterprise's rental services are seasonal and run from May 1 until around October 31. The great thing about both of these companies if that they both offer a wide selection of vehicles for rent that are perfect for vacations to this beautiful part of the world, like SUVs and convertibles.
  • Because this is such a small airport location, returning a car rental at Bar Harbor Airport is quite easy. All travelers need to do is make their way to the airport parking lot and then park their car in one of the dedicated spaces for their rental company that sits right outside the terminal building. Once they have locked the car and taken a walk around to check the vehicle for any potential damage, they only need to bring in their keys and contract to the customer service counter inside the terminal building.
  • Since this is a very popular vacation destination, especially during the summer months, travelers may find difficulty renting a car during these months. Because there are very few flights that arrive every day and quite a few of the passengers on these flights may be renting cars, passengers should expect some amount of delay when trying to rent a car after their flight. The return process is generally going to be much easier since you generally only need to drop your keys and your contract in a lock box.
  • Book your car hire at Bar Harbor airport at least 3 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Bar Harbor airport

  • Where are the car rental companies situated at Bar Harbor airport?

    Because this is such a small regional airport, finding both of the rental car companies is going to be quite easy. Once you pick up any baggage from the baggage claim area, you will find that both of the companies have a customer service desk right adjacent to the baggage claim area, and all vehicles available for rent sit right outside of the terminal building.

  •  Which rental companies are easiest at Bar Harbor airport?

    Without a doubt, using Hertz is going to be a much easier proposition simply because they operate year-round, and they generally will have a larger fleet of cars because of this. Because of their larger presence, they generally have a larger staff working at the airport, meaning they can handle more customers, making it easier for you to pick up your car upon your arrival at the airport.

  • What type of documentation is necessary to rent a car at Bar Harbor airport?

    To rent a car at this airport, you will need a valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence at the time of your rental. This license needs to remain valid for the entire length of your rental period. If your driver's license is not in the English language, it is a recommendation that you also bring an international driver's permit. Drivers must be at least 25 years old to rent a car, although drivers between 21 and 25 may be able to rent a car for an additional fee. While you may be able to use a debit card for your rental, it's always best to have a major credit card to ensure your ability to rent a car.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Bar Harbor airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Bar Harbor airport to off-airport locations include Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Hertz.

The pickup was pleasant, however I realized, about a mile down the road that the tank was only 3/4 full. That’s a highly disagreeable situation, and given the egregious prices Hertz charges for topping up a tank, it’s completely unacceptable to receive a car with a partially empty one. The car, a Kia, was in very nice condition, however, over longer distances in the drive, the seats turned out to be quite uncomfortable. The Hertz agent at the return location was kind enough to swap out for another vehicle - this was greatly appreciated, and the gentleman at the final return was super nice and helpful.

Arrogant manager over books and then just casually tells you he has no cars and you’re 10 on the waiting list... enjoy your vacation!
