Important information about Portland car rentals

When visiting the scenic town of Portland, your trip wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Portland Head Light or Fort Williams Park, both of which are easily reached by car. Keep an eye out for Highways 95 and 302, as these are two of the main roads in the city and connect many of the neighborhoods, including downtown. While it can be difficult to find free street parking for car rentals in Portland, there are numerous metered spaces, as well as paid lots and garages to choose from. It’s easy to rent a car in this area, as there are upwards of 20 car rental locations in Portland that you can choose between.

You don’t need to stress about finding parking for car rentals in Portland, as there are many paid options to choose from, including garages, lots, and metered spaces. Portland is known for being a busy town and a popular vacation destination, so there are a few areas that are known for getting congested, including Highways 25, 95, 295, and 302. If you don’t want to get caught in traffic, avoid driving rental cars in Portland on these highways in the early mornings and evenings, as these times are considered to be rush hour. When visiting the region, a cheap car rental in Portland is a convenient way to affordably see all the sights in the area while having the power to stick to your own schedule. The city is known for being sprawling, so Portland car rentals can help you to see some of the sights that are more off the beaten path, like Casco Bay and the Allagash Brewing Company.

When driving car rentals in Portland, it’s important to keep some of the local traffic laws in mind. For example, children under the age of 12 must always be in the backseat. If your child is under the age of 8, they must be in an appropriate safety seat. You must always keep a distance equivalent to two seconds between you and the car in front of you, and a distance equivalent to three seconds between you and any cyclists. Unless a sign states otherwise, you are legally allowed to make a U-turn. If you ever have any doubts about traffic regulations, make sure to contact Portland’s department of motor vehicles to receive information on the most recent laws.

When renting a car in Portland, even if it’s an electric car rental or a passenger van rental, you are required to have a valid driver’s license. Those that are not from the United States can present either an international license or a license from their home country along with their passport.
