Car rental FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Maine, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on July 11, 2025.
  • What are the requirements to rent a car in Maine?

    You must be at least 21 years to hire a cheap car rental in Maine. You are considered a young driver if you're below 24 years, and you will incur daily surcharges, which also limits your vehicle choices. Most car rental locations in Maine consider a renter with an active temporary license and a valid credit card. Foreigners looking for cheap car rentals in Maine can use their country's government-issued driver’s license, provided it's written in the Roman alphabet. If not, non-U.S. residents must attach an International Driver's Permit, including a form of photo I.D., such as a current passport and proof of returning to their country of origin once their stay in Maine is over. Renters cannot book a car with an expired, suspended, invalid, or revoked license.

    Under no circumstances should you operate rental cars in Maine while drunk, without a driver's license, or with an expired license. All travelers must wear seatbelts in your passenger van rental, and children under eight must be secured in age and weight-appropriate booster seats. You are required to adjust your driving speed according to current road conditions, adverse weather, the flow of traffic, and the posted speed limits, which is 45mph on public roads and 75mph on highways. We highly recommend that you consult with the Department of Motor Vehicles to determine recent law changes before driving your luxury car rental in Maine.
