KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Presque Isle

  • Presque Isle, located in Aroostook County, Maine, offers beautiful landscapes and attractions that can be explored by car. For example, Aroostook State Park is a state park with miles of scenic driving routes offering stunning views of forests, lakes, and rolling hills. The Northern Maine Museum of Science features interactive exhibits focused on science and nature. When you have car rentals in Presque Isle, you can make trips to these popular locations when you want. You don't need to rely on taxis, rideshare vehicles, or public transportation, which can sometimes be expensive and difficult to find.
  • A terrific place to pick up Presque Isle car rentals is at the Presque Isle Airport (PQI). Here you will find three rental companies, two of which are global brands, and then there is a more local company. All rental companies have service desks right next to the baggage claim in the terminal. Once you have your keys and contract, you can head outside and pick up your car in the adjacent parking lot.
  • Given Maine's cold climate, winter driving conditions can be challenging. It's common practice for drivers to equip car rentals in Presque Isle with winter tires or chains during the colder months and to drive cautiously in snowy or icy conditions. Maine is known for its wildlife, and drivers are often advised to be cautious and yield to animals like deer, moose, and other wildlife that might cross the road unexpectedly. In more rural areas, it's common for drivers to exercise caution and yield to oncoming traffic, even when they might technically have the right of way.
  • Presque Isle is a relatively small city in northern Maine, and its traffic patterns might not be as busy as those in larger urban areas. Weekdays from around 7:00 am to 8:30 am and evenings from around 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm might see increased traffic. You will notice this congestion most on Routes 1 and 163, as these are two main roads in Presque Isle. While they might not experience heavy traffic, they could have busier periods during typical rush hours and when school-related activities are in session.

  • What is the ideal type of car to rent in Presque Isle?

    If you're visiting during winter, consider renting car rentals in Presque Isle with all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) for better traction and safety on slippery roads. If you plan to explore off-the-beaten-path areas or venture onto rural roads, a vehicle with higher ground clearance, like an SUV, might be preferable to handle uneven terrain. If you're planning to participate in outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding, or hiking, you might need a vehicle that can accommodate equipment like skis, snowboards, or camping gear.

  • What are the speed limits in the Presque Isle area?

    The speed limit is often around 25 mph in residential neighborhoods and local streets. Be cautious of school zones, where speed limits may be reduced during school hours. The speed limit is often around 30 to 35 mph on most urban roads and main streets. State highways passing through the area, such as Route 1, might have speed limits of 45 to 55 mph or higher, depending on the specific road and location.

  • Where are the best places to park in Presque Isle?

    As a smaller city, Presque Isle generally offers convenient parking options for visitors. Downtown Presque Isle and commercial areas often have on-street parking spaces available. Be sure to check for any parking signs, restrictions, or time limits, but you will find that most of this parking is free. The Aroostook Centre Mall has ample parking available for shoppers. If you're visiting or have business at the Northern Maine Community College, they usually have public parking areas on campus. Public parks and attractions in Presque Isle might have designated parking lots for visitors. This includes places like Aroostook State Park and other recreational areas.
