Top tips for hiring a car at Bangor airport

  • You’ll accrue multiple benefits from choosing a car rental at Bangor Airport (BGR). First off, you’re likely to spend the minimum cash by renting a vehicle rather than taking a taxi, limo, or rideshare if you’ll be in town for long periods. A rental car gives you the convenience of driving to any location you would like, unlike bus lines that travel specific routes and have designated stopovers. Also, renting a car will save you time otherwise spent waiting for a public transit bus.
  • Renting a vehicle at BGR airport is convenient, and you’ll get to disembark from your plane and get behind your four wheels within no time. That’s partly due to the presence of car rental counters on-terminal and partly due to the efforts of specific agencies to minimize check-in time. When you step out of your flight and into the Arrival Terminal, you’ll find the car rental desks nearby the baggage claim area. You can expect to collect your Bangor Airport car rental on-site outside the baggage claim area once you get your rental contract and car keys.
  • It’ll be in your best interest to consider your reason for stay in Bangor when choosing a rental car at BGR. For instance, you will want a minivan rental if your small kids tag along, as it can accommodate your entire family. An SUV rental will be ideal if you’re planning on taking outdoor adventures. Rental companies also offer luxury vehicles and convertibles, both great options for a romantic getaway for couples. A long-term car rental will be more affordable if you’ll be around Bangor for a lengthy period.
  • When you’re ready for your return flight or want to return your car rental at Bangor Airport, you’ll find it easy as it involves taking the vehicle back to the point you picked it up. Head over to the airport and watch out for and follow the signs for rental car returns. Park the vehicle in the rental agency’s parking lot and then proceed to the rental counter on the first floor of the primary terminal building adjacent to Baggage Claim. Here, a staff member will take the contract and keys.
  • Book your car hire at Bangor airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about hiring a car at Bangor airport

  • Which rental companies at Bangor Airport are easy to use?

    While having on-site rental counters and car lots can simplify your pickup process, rental companies at Bangor Airport offer extra services to enhance your rental experience. For example, Budget has a Fastbreak Service Membership where customers spend less time at lines as the rental contract will be ready before your arrival. Likewise, Avis has a Preferred Service in which members receive their preprinted documents when they arrive at the counter. Alamo has an online Accelerated Check-in tool that minimizes the time you spend at the rental counter.

  • Which type of documents are required to rent a vehicle at Bangor Airport?

    You’ll have to present a valid driver’s license with your name and photograph at the time of picking up your car rental at Bangor Airport. International travelers can submit their foreign licenses from their country of residence, and licensing laws of the state of Maine don’t require an International Driving Permit to accompany your foreign license. It’s also necessary to submit a debit card or credit card in your name to cater to car rental and deposit costs.

  • Which amenities are present at Bangor Airport’s rental car center?

    As there’s no centralized rental car center at Bangor Airport, you’ll find beneficial resources at individual car rental company locations.

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.

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"

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.

Arrived in Bangor with an impending ice storm and was told that no cars in Maine have snow tires because 'they might be driven in Florida where snow tires are illegal.' Ice storm comes and I can not even drive the car because there are 4 inches of ice on the roads so I had to cancel plans and stay at the airport hotel. I go to return the car early and find there is no ice scraper in the car. Had to borrow one so I could move the car from the airport hotel parking lot to the Hertz lot which was about 10 ft away. I returned the car a day early and I was told I might get a refund (i paid for 2 days). Overall, it was not the best experience and the Hertz folks have not been at all helpful.

Had to cancel this and pay a $200 fee because they were not open due to a flight delay. I had to go with Avis who stayed open until the last flight of the day came in. Very thankful for Avis and I’m upset about the fact that Hertz would not refund me or allow me to check in later.

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.

They failed to adequately inform me that on Sunday, they close at 12 noon. Our plane did not arrive until 6 PM and because we had reserved the car “off site” there was NO vehicle at the airport counter available for us. Yes, I should have known that 12 PM is 12 noon but it slipped right by me and we paid the price. It cost an extra $400 to rent a vehicle from another company.

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.

I booked a vehicle on KAYAK for the same day. Got confirmation email etc. The rental company immediately called me and left a message on my home number - which I did not see until after I came to the rental desk. It essentially said that not only they do not have the vehicle class I needed - they had NO vehicles to rent. Makes one wonder how the reservation system and KAYAK work.
