Cheap Car Rental at Amtrak Downeaster

Select a vehicle based on your travel party size and luggage to ensure a comfortable driving experience.

When renting a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

To secure the lowest prices, book your car rental at least 2 weeks in advance. December is typically the cheapest month for car rental from Amtrak Downeaster.

A credit card is often required for deposits for car rental deals at Amtrak Downeaster. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Before heading to the station, make sure to check the rental company's opening hours to avoid arriving when they are closed.

Ask about the specific steps for picking up and returning your car to ensure a smooth rental experience.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.
