How old do you have to be to rent a car in Maine?
I just turned 21 and want to go on a road trip. The only problem is that I don’t own a car, so I have to rent one. Can I do that in Maine?

That sounds like a great idea! To rent a car in
Maine
, you need to be 21 years old. That said, some car rental companies have a surcharge for drivers between the ages of 21 and 25 to account for the increased risk of a young driver handling the car. Check with your rental company to see if this applies to you.Before you head out on your road trip, here are some tips for driving a rental vehicle:
- Familiarize yourself with the car since every model is different.
- Ask what kind of fuel it takes
- If the dealership offers full damage waiver insurance, take it
- Be careful where you park a rental car—always err on the side of caution
- Return the car on time and with a full tank of gas to avoid additional fees
