KAYAK’s top tips for renting 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
- Standard rental cars in Bangor are around 2% cheaper than other car types, on average

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"9.6 Wonderful

Better instructions on drop off location. Regular entrance was closed due to construction and no signs posted to indicate car rental returns9.2 Wonderful

Cons:
The way they do the gas is confusing. They make you guess up front how much gas you're going to use. Why not just give you a full tank and have you pay at market price for the amount you use?6.0 Okay

In comparison to other rental companies like Avis and Budget, their rental system and computer systems seem far outdated. Would go with my usual choice of budget if renting again.10.0 Wonderful

Joey, Sep 2020
Pros:
The car was in good conditionCons:
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.10.0 Wonderful
