Rent a Snowmobile in Northern Maine
You can rent a snowmobile or a whole fleet of them for the whole family for the day or the week in Aroostook County. There are a good amount of snowmobile outfitters scattered around the region, but it is highly recommended that you reserve your rentals well in advance of your visit. Walk-ins are welcome at all of the snowmobile rental companies, but that is risky to you because they might not have the style sled you wanted to ride or enough sleds for you and your friends. It costs roughly $180 to $350 for a day rental and that price varies by rental company. Always review the terms and conditions of renting a snowmobile in northern Maine to make sure you understand the costs of the rental and the cost of the add-ons. Now, let's get you out on a snowmobile rental and on to your Aroostook Adventure!
