  • Where are the best places to park car rentals in Augusta?

Thus, consider booking a hotel with the parking lot to beat the hassle of looking for parking space. The hotels to consider include Hampton Inn Augusta, Best Western Plus Augusta Civic Center Inn, Super 8 by Wyndham, and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Augusta. However, if you missed a hotel with parking, budget for metered parking in Augusta downtown. Charges vary but expect to pay an hourly rate.

The experience with the entire Enterprise team was excellent. Joe and Vince were extremely knowledgeable and were able to really breakdown the agreement and options in detail for me. They also were available to reach out to should any issues arise with my rental during my rental period. Trenton also did excellent work in servicing the car prior to my rental and it was in pristine condition. I would also say the team went above and beyond and also were able to help me with getting to the airport for my flight home. I would absolutely rent from this Enterprise (Augusta, ME) location again!

Do not, I repeat, do not fly into Augusta State Airport or ever rent a car from Hertz there. Fly into Bangor and rent a car there. When I booked my Hertz car, they stated they were open 9am-Noon on Saturdays. I called them and confirmed this. I returned at 11am today, 9/18, for my 2pm flight to Boston to discover that they were now closed and I would be charged two more rental days when they reopen on Monday. Don't get ripped off like I did. Avoid this airport and Hertz especially.
