Presque Isle City Car Hire

Presque Isle is Aroostook County's largest city with just over 9,000 inhabitants and functions as a regional center for northern Maine. With 1 rental company in the center, you have access to a vehicle to explore this vast and sparsely populated part of the USA. The city is located along the Aroostook River and University of Maine at Presque Isle gives the city center some student life.

To the Canadian province of New Brunswick it is only 60 km east via Caribou and the border crossing at Van Buren. Visit the Aroostook County Historical and Art Museum for local history of potato farming and the forest industry. Drive south on Route 1 to Houlton for shopping and restaurants.

Always refuel the car in town – gas stations become sparse quickly outside the populated area. Can I drive across the border to Canada with the rental car? It depends on the rental company's terms – always ask specifically if border crossing is permitted and bring necessary documents.
