Top tips for renting a car in Alaska

  • Alaskan law requires every passenger in the vehicle to buckle up. If your kids are riding in the car, they should be in an appropriately sized child protection seat. Children below twelve months should be in a rear-facing car seat, while those between one and four should be in a forward-facing one. Kids aged four to seven can be either in a forward-facing car seat or booster seat, and those between eight and twelve should be in a booster seat. If you don’t have a car seat with you, you can get one at the rental counter for a small fee.
  • If you’re going to be driving to some remote Alaskan areas, ensure you bring a map or GPS. The remote Alaskan roads can get a bit confusing since the markers might be in kilometers instead of miles, and they might be outdated in some places. To ensure you’re on the right path, bring a map or a GPS on your trip. If you don’t have either, you can get them from the rental counter for a small fee.
  • Watch out for wildlife when driving your car rental in Alaska. You need to be on high alert when driving in Alaska since wildlife is common in the area. Moose, deer, caribou, bears, and other animals have the right of way in this region, and you need to be extra careful since they have a tendency of showing up when you least expect it. Always keep your eyes on the road and make sure there are no creatures in sight.
  • You can cross state and international borders with car rentals from Alaska. Many rental locations will allow travel across the neighboring Canadian border. Inform the rental agency of your travel plans to be issued a free Canadian non-resident insurance card for your protection when driving around Canada.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Alaska for $84 or less
  • Compact rental cars in Alaska are around 24% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Alaska

  • Should I rent a car in Alaska?

    Renting a car in Alaska is necessary for a comfortable and convenient trip around the region. The region is vast, and if you’re to do some serious exploration, you will need a car. Moreover, a rental gives you many benefits. Having a car allows you to take side trips and stop when and wherever you want. A rental car will provide you with the flexibility that Alaskan trains and buses lack. Plus, it is faster yet still allows you to travel at your own pace. Additionally, Alaskan roads are safe and easy to navigate, and rental cars are just as modern as the ones in other regions.

  • What is driving like in Alaska?
