Maine car rentals

A Maine rental car is a no-brainer. There are many pros to having your own set of wheels. First, you get the freedom to plan your travel according to your convenience. Yes, the bus is cheaper, but your itinerary might not align with its strict schedule, plus they aren’t available on public holidays. Second, a rental car is comfortable and convenient. Thanks to KAYAK, you don’t have to drag your luggage around, and the booking process is straightforward. Just make a reservation online through KAYAK, and you’ll have your car waiting as soon as you’re in Maine. Finally, rental cars are high on tech. You’ll find rental cars in Maine with features like Bluetooth, GPS, air conditioning, and great entertainment systems to enhance your driving experience.

Keep your distance from the vehicle ahead and wait at least 2 seconds before following the car in front. You should also be aware of the many cyclists on the street and stay at least 3 feet from them. Pedestrians will mostly cross on crosswalks, however, note that they retain the right of way even if they cross illegally or at an undesignated point. If visibility drops to below 1000 feet, have your headlights on. Another important law is to keep your radio at a reasonable volume because the sound from your vehicle shouldn’t be heard from 25 feet away. You can make a U-turn unless there is a sign prohibiting it or if you’re in the business district. The speed limits in Maine are 15 mph in school zones, 25 mph in business and residential districts, 45 mph on general roadways, 55 to 60 mph on rural highways, and 70 to 75 mph on interstate highways.

You need to be at least twenty one to be allowed to rent a car in Maine. You will find twenty one as the minimum age at most car rental locations in Maine.

Moreover, vehicles like premium and full-size SUVs, exotic and luxury rentals, and cargo and passenger vans are not available for renting by young renters.
