KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Brunswick

  • Car rentals in Brunswick allow for an easy cruise through Maine’s beautiful sites. You can drive approximately 17 miles south to the shores of Casco Bay. Or enjoy a smooth cruise across 100 acres on the Brunswick to the Ocean Trail as it takes you through campus, Town Commons, and Middle Bay. If you want to see some Maine waterfalls, you can drive about 10 minutes over to Head of Tide Park. All these sites would be more accessible to you with a car rental, as public transport would only take you to certain places, and even then you may still have to commute to your destination.
  • If you’re visiting Brunswick, you will most likely fly into the Portland Airport (PWM). There is one main terminal at Portland Airport (PMW), divided into an upper and lower level. For car rentals in Brunswick, you will find the car rental office at the Grounds Transportation Booth, found near Baggage Claim. With several car rental companies onsite, and over 200 cars for you to choose in the car rental atrium inside the airport’s parking garage, you will have plenty of options for your Brunswick car rental. The Portland Airport (PWM) is about 29 miles away from Brunswick.
  • Many folks attribute Brunswick’s small-town feel to its slower paced, relaxed lifestyle as compared to the bigger nearby cities, like Portland or Boston. Though it is a suburban area, you may experience some traffic as people are coming and going on their day trips to Midcoast Maine towns, like Boothbay or Camden, visiting the four state parks, or making their way to the airport in Portland (PWM).
  • Maine winters can be temperamental as they can be long, cold, and snowy. If you are visiting Brunswick in the winter, ask about winter tires and if any of the car rentals in Brunswick have them available. For safe driving in the winter, the key is to drive smoothly and cautiously; and be sure to factor in additional time for driving to your destination when commuting through snowy conditions.
  • Book your car hire in Brunswick at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Brunswick are around 65% cheaper than other car types, on average

If you are planning trips to the state parks during your trip, deciding to rent an SUV will allow you to explore those destinations best.

  • What’s the speed limit in Brunswick?

    For roads in a business or residential district, speed limits tend to be around 20-25 mph. However, for roads on islands that are not accessible by road, or are dead end roads less than a mile long, a speed limit of 15 mph can be invoked. Otherwise, for all other area roads, the speed limit lands at about 30 to 50 mph. Brunswick houses Bowdoin College as well as four public school districts, so expect to see several school zones where speed limits are 15 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Brunswick?

    Brunswick is a small-town, but parking in downtown Brunswick can be a hassle, frustrating for residents and visitors alike, when everyone is trying to park on Maine Street. Though these coveted spaces are limited, Brunswick has lots of convenient, free, and less frequented parking spaces in the downtown only a few blocks off of Maine Street. Additionally, many of the businesses downtown make their lots available for public use after-hours. Long term parking is available in the Union Street Lot, for around $2 per day, and the Cedar Street Lot. In case you find yourself needing to park on Bowdoin College campus, be aware that overnight parking (1 am - 6 am) is prohibited on Maine Street, Potter Street, and South Street, and Cleveland Street has a 2-hour parking limit from 8 am to 6pm.

Pros:

Staff didn’t even get up to inspect car when I returned it. While I waited for my ride, he checked the fuel gauge.

Cons:

When a flight was canceled, I called and said I’d be a day later to pick up. The price was not changed. When I asked if I could return it 35 miles away at another Hertz, you said it would be an additional $757

Confusing, stressful and costly experience. Unable to speak directly to rental office when calling for information. Always have to speak with foreign person who does not understand English or convey information to customer that is not accurate or confusing. Customer unable to secure need agreement for car rental. Information passed on to customer was not correct and caused customer much anxiety.
