Cheap Car Rentals in Maine

10/10 overall. Fast and efficient pick up, drop off and car quality/cleanliness.

Everything went well and smoothly, a bit pricy compared to a few months ago but just a sign of the times. Very friendly and helpful personal in Bangor.

Reservation selected wasn’t available - car that was available smelled badly like smoke, but received a small discount

The counter rep.

Ease of booking car online and price was fair. We were able to drop offf car and walk back to hotel within 15 minutes.

The guy was dirtier than expected it to be. Otherwise all was good.

Great little car. Brakes need a little work. Reported when we got back and they said they would take care of it right away. Good experience!

I thought I had reserved a vehicle at the Portland, ME airport, but it was actually at an off-site location and we had to arrange our own transportation to the other location in order to pick up the vehicle. The reservation through Kayak did not make this apparent, as the only indication was an address listed in small print. I guess I was expected to somehow know that the address shown wasn't at the airport (or accessible via an airport shuttle). The Hertz employee I spoke with at the airport location (young female, didn't get her name) was dismissive and quite rude. We had 6 people in our group so had to take 2 Ubers to get to the Warren location. The employees at the off-site location (Warren) were at least polite and friendly. The vehicle, a Honda minivan, did not appear to have been cleaned at all, having a good deal of sand and dirt on the floors and trash in the center console and door storage areas, and the jack and related items were just laying in the back cargo area instead of being properly stored with the spare tire. It was difficult to find where the spare was, then even more difficult to correctly store it all, so I sort of understand why it hadn't been propoerly put away, but it still should have been done. We did this before leaving the Warren location without offers of assistance, btw, as we needed all of the rear storage space in order to fit our luggage. The vehicle had a fairly hard-used and worn appearance overall, but ran well and got us around as needed. Overall, I feel like Kayak should be more clear on offsite rental locations, and that Hertz could provide cleaner, better maintained and less worn vehicles.

Hertz rental was good. But becareful using kayak because the fine print does not tell there are more fees once you rent the car. I would not use kayak again

Maria, the customer service rep at Hertz was amazing, helping us get an much needed upgrade!

The truck was fine. I just didn't reserve one: I reserved a mid-size car. Then the staff tried to "upsell" me a luxury car where they should have given me one at the same price because it was their fault to begin with. So I took the truck. Horrible business model.

I reserved a standard SUV and what I got was a 4 wheel drive off road 4 Runner. 13,000 miles but it looked like it had 50,000 off road miles on it.

Easy pick up and drop off.

Pretty easy pick up at PWM and super easy drop off at CLE. Car was nice and clean. We could have used a little guidance on the plate pass that we purchased before departing, but we figured it out eventually - AFTER not realizing we had to open it to get it to work.

Convinient

The car had a lot of dents and scratches. The drop was absolutely horrible. there was no one there and they didn't tell you where to drop the car off. causing me to walk to the terminal and almost miss my flight. probably won't rent from them again.

Car had been smoked in and smell lingered in the car

Wait time at the airport was an hour. However, the people behind the desk were friendly and courteous

You shouldn’t need a credit card to hire out a car. The website was misleading and a false advertisement as it did not make it aware this was necessary. In other countries a debit card would suffice

Arriving to Portland on Saturday around noon, the wait till I got my car was over an hour or more. The return was excellent.

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.
