Car rental at Bar Harbor Airport

Because this is such a small regional airport, finding both of the rental car companies is going to be quite easy. Once you pick up any baggage from the baggage claim area, you will find that both of the companies have a customer service desk right adjacent to the baggage claim area, and all vehicles available for rent sit right outside of the terminal building.

Without a doubt, using Hertz is going to be a much easier proposition simply because they operate year-round, and they generally will have a larger fleet of cars because of this. Because of their larger presence, they generally have a larger staff working at the airport, meaning they can handle more customers, making it easier for you to pick up your car upon your arrival at the airport.

To rent a car at this airport, you will need a valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence at the time of your rental. This license needs to remain valid for the entire length of your rental period. If your driver's license is not in the English language, it is a recommendation that you also bring an international driver's permit. Drivers must be at least 25 years old to rent a car, although drivers between 21 and 25 may be able to rent a car for an additional fee. While you may be able to use a debit card for your rental, it's always best to have a major credit card to ensure your ability to rent a car.

Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Bar Harbor airport to off-airport locations include Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Hertz.
