Well that depends where you’re going. Downtown Portland, about 28 miles from Sanford, ME Airport (SFM-Sanford Seacoast Regional), can be a little daunting to drive in. Make life easier by renting something compact, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. That being said, Portland is an excellent base to explore some of the rocky coastlines in Cumberland County. If your vacation is more about tearing down the open road, you may want something with a bit more trunk space and room to move around. What about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
