Bangor International (BGR) Airport Car Service

BGR sits about 3 miles west of downtown Bangor in Penobscot County, accessible via Interstate 95 and Godfrey Boulevard. The airport is owned and operated by the City of Bangor and shares the airfield with the 101st Air Refueling Wing of the Maine Air National Guard, which flies the KC 135 Stratotanker. BGR is also a major US Customs and Border Protection technical stop for transatlantic flights diverting from JFK, Boston, and other Northeast hubs due to weather or fuel needs. Delta, American, United, Allegiant, Avelo, and Breeze provide scheduled commercial service. Our chauffeurs stage at the commercial vehicle lane outside the terminal.

BGR to downtown Bangor and the West Broadway historic district (home of the famous Stephen King House, the wrought iron bat fence Victorian mansion that the Bangor native author lived in for decades) runs about 5 to 10 minutes via Hammond Street. We handle daily transfers to downtown hotels including the Hilton Garden Inn Bangor Downtown, the Hollywood Casino Hotel and Raceway Bangor, and the Cross Insurance Center event venue.

Yes. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor (on Mount Desert Island) run about 60 to 75 minutes from BGR via Interstate 395 and US 1A southbound to SR 3. BGR is the closest commercial gateway to Acadia, which is why most Acadia visitors prefer flying into Bangor rather than Portland (PWM, about 3 hours from Acadia). We handle resort transfers to the Bar Harbor Inn, the Asticou Inn, the Claremont Hotel, the Salt Cottages, and dozens of Acadia area inns and cottages.

Yes. The University of Maine main campus at Orono (the flagship campus of the UMaine system, home of the Maine Black Bears NCAA Division I athletic program) runs about 15 to 20 minutes from BGR via Interstate 95 northbound. We handle parent weekend transfers, Black Bears hockey game transport at the Alfond Sports Arena (home of one of the most successful Division I men's hockey programs in NCAA history), graduation week pickups, and academic conference visitor logistics.

Yes. The American Folk Festival on the Bangor Waterfront (held each August along the Penobscot River, one of the largest free folk and traditional music festivals in the Northeast) generates heavy summer weekend tourism demand. We handle daily festival weekend airport transfers, downtown Bangor hotel pickups, and Cross Insurance Center event venue transport during folk festival weekend.

Yes. Mount Desert Island (the island home of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Seal Harbor) hosts dozens of resort and inn properties accessible from BGR via Interstate 395 to US 1A to SR 3. We handle resort transfers to the Asticou Inn in Northeast Harbor, the Claremont Hotel in Southwest Harbor, the historic Jordan Pond House, and private estate transfers along the Northeast Harbor and Seal Harbor coast.

Yes. Baxter State Park (the 200,000 acre wilderness park containing Mount Katahdin, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail and Maine's highest peak at 5,269 feet) and the Millinocket gateway town run about 90 minutes to 2 hours from BGR via Interstate 95 northbound. We handle Katahdin hiker group transfers, Baxter day use visitor transport, and Appalachian Trail thru hiker end of trail pickups during the late summer and early fall hiking season.

Yes. Eastern Maine Medical Center (now Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, the largest hospital in northern and eastern Maine, serving as the academic medical center for the region) runs about 10 minutes from BGR via Stillwater Avenue. We handle patient transfers, visiting physician transport, family member airport pickups for extended hospital stays, and corporate transfers for the broader Northern Light Health system.

Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor peak summer season runs from late June through mid October, with August and early September generating the heaviest demand. Cruise ship arrivals at Bar Harbor (the small ship cruise season runs through fall foliage) and fall foliage Acadia visitors both spike weekend demand through BGR. We recommend three to four weeks of lead time for peak summer SUV and Sprinter bookings, since Mount Desert Island inn and resort inventory fills four to six months ahead.

Yes. Dispatch runs around the clock with a live human on the line, and we operate red eye arrivals, 4 am Northern Light EMMC medical transfers, 5 am summer departure pickups for Acadia day hikers, and late night transatlantic technical stop crew transfers when international flights divert to BGR. There is no surcharge for late night or early morning service on standard bookings.
