Top tips for renting a car in Maine

  • Ensure that all passengers buckle up when driving in Maine. The law also requires children below eight and under 80 pounds to be in a federally approved safety or booster seat. If you didn’t bring yours on your trip, don’t worry. You can rent one from the rental counter for a small fee. Also, children below twelve are not allowed to ride in the front row, even if they wear their seatbelts.
  • The Maine Turnpike is one of the major roads you’ll use when traveling in Maine and on a toll road. All rental car operators are expected to pay tolls on the Maine Turnpike, and there are several accepted means of payment. The most convenient is an electronic payment, where the rental agency issues a toll pass that allows you to pay for tolls electronically without stopping to pay cash. Moreover, many toll collection companies have converted to electronic toll collection, with cash rarely accepted.
  • There are about 24,000 miles of road in Maine, passing through the majestic scenery and pristine beaches, meaning that a rental car is the ideal option when exploring this region. However, if you’re going to be on the road for a long time, it is advisable that you register an additional driver. An additional driver gives you the chance to rest when you’re fatigued and can also act as your designated driver. Maine rental agencies will allow you to register additional drivers for a small daily fee or for free if they are your spouse or domestic partner.

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.
