KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Auburn

  • Using car rentals in Auburn has several benefits over relying on public transport. Car rentals offer convenient traveling, especially for itineraries with limited access to public transportation. You can choose the route for exploration and your schedule when you opt for Auburn car rentals. Additionally, maneuvering with heavy luggage in crowded public transport is mitigated as car rentals have ample space for storage. You can access several locations using car rentals, including Mt. Apatite, Auburn Riverwalk, and Lost Valley.
  • The two major Auburn airports include Augusta Bush Field Airport (AGS) and Portland International Airport (PWM). At AGS, you will find car rental counters conveniently situated in the Arrivals Hall of the main terminal near the baggage claim area. To be an eligible renter at AGS, you must be at least 25 to avoid the surcharge fees on young drivers between 21 and 24 years. You must also present a valid driver's license and a credit or debit card. At PWM, you will find car rental agencies with counters at the consolidated rental car center opposite the main terminal building. If you exit the baggage claim area, you will see it across the street. If you are below 25 years, 21 years to 24 years, you must pay a young driver's fee. You must present a valid driver's license with good standing for the past 12 months, a major credit card, and your passport.
  • Using car rentals in Auburn requires you to follow their relaxed driving culture. The drivers in this town generally exhibit polite behavior, including allowing merging in traffic, yielding to the right of way, and using turn signals. Pedestrian safety is emphasized in this town, especially at crosswalks where you have to yield. Driving in Auburn's rural area, you must be cautious of the wildlife crossing roads, especially during dusk and dawn. You also have to share the road with cyclists.
  • Car rentals in Auburn may be challenging during certain times, including morning from around 7 am to 9 am and evening from around 4 pm to 6 pm due to increased traffic. Main Street, Center Street, Turner Street, and Washington Street North and South are majorly affected by traffic congestion due to the rush hour times. Alternative streets, including Gamage Avenue, Sumer Street, and Hampshire Street, can be used to navigate traffic congestion during these rush hours.
