KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Saco

  • Renting cheap car rentals in Saco has several advantages, especially for those planning to explore the surrounding areas. Saco car rentals give you the flexibility to travel according to your own schedule and you can easily visit different places without worrying about the schedules of other forms of transportation. In addition, you can take routes that may not be accessible through public transport and avoid crowded areas. Renting a car can also be a cost-effective option, especially if you're traveling with a group or planning to visit several locations. There are also several beautiful beaches and state parks around Saco that are easier to access if you have a car. For example, Ferry Beach State Park, Biddeford Pool Beach, and Fortunes Rock Beach can be easily reached by car from Saco.
  • Portland Airport (PWM) is approximately 9 miles from Saco and is the closest airport where you can pick up Saco car rentals. The rental car offices at PWM are located in the ground transportation area outside baggage claim and a shuttle is not necessary as it is a short walk from the terminal. Augusta Airport (AUG) is approximately 57 miles from Saco. The rental car options are limited at Augusta Airport, with only one major rental car company located on site. However, AUG is a small airport and the rental car office is within walking distance of the terminal.
  • The driving culture in Saco is generally calm and relaxed, and drivers respect the rules of the road. However, there may be some impatience during peak traffic hours, and drivers may get aggressive on the highways. In addition, Saco is a pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly city, so drivers should be aware of pedestrians and bicycles at all times. Pedestrians may cross the road unexpectedly and not always at designated crosswalks, so you need to be vigilant and aware of your surroundings when driving cheap car rentals in Saco.
  • Rush hour traffic can make driving cheap car rentals in Saco difficult, particularly on Route 1, which is a major north-south artery through the area. Rush hour is generally from 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm, with heavier traffic heading southbound in the morning and northbound in the afternoon. During the winter, snow and ice can also make driving difficult, particularly on rural roads and side streets. The Maine Turnpike is generally well-maintained during winter weather, but it is still important to exercise caution and reduce your speed in snowy or icy conditions.

Pros:

The agent accommodated our change request at the desk efficiently and the upgrade was more than satisfactory.

Cons:

Off hours drop off needs some work. There were no clear instructions or directions as to where to deposit the keys. I dropped them off at the unmanned desk. I never received a notice that the keys were accounted for.

Did not pick car up. Tried to cancel and was told it was non refundable. Kayak said it was but priceline said no???? Deceptive when one that you reserve car on says it is but then it switches to another company that changes the rules.
