KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Seward

  • Consider booking car rentals in Seward for a chance to enjoy greater flexibility in moving around the city. Seward is a town with a lot of interesting things to see. Although the city has several transport options, using rented cars is the most convenient option.  Using public transit will restrict how far you can travel because they only run along certain routes. One of the places you cannot afford to miss visiting when you are in Seward is Kenai Fjords National Park. With your car from any of the Seward car rentals, you can conveniently drive to the park with your packed lunch and other personal belongings.
  • Enjoy self-drive from Seward Airport to the city center or any other destination of your choosing. If you are new in the town and you want to explore it upon landing at the airport, renting a car here is a good thing to do. There are quite a number of car rental agencies that are available in and around Seward Airport. This allows for one to privately tour the town. Examples of these car rental agencies include Hertz car rental - which is close to the airport - and Continental Auto Group.
  • Seward offers one of the best experiences for driving. One of the characteristics that distinguish Seward drivers from other drivers is their strict attention to traffic laws, notably their lane discipline. So long as you follow all relevant traffic laws, you won't run into any issues with either traffic enforcement or other motorists. However, when you are using your rental automobile in the city center, you need to be cautious of pedestrians who frequently cross the street carelessly.
  • When there is a significant disruption in the flow of traffic, renting car rentals in Seward becomes less convenient. The Seward & Kenai Fjords Fairs & Festivals, which take place every year in the city, will make driving your car in Seward significantly more challenging. Every year during the second week of July, this festival draws a sizable crowd from all over, which causes heavy traffic to accumulate on the majority of the city's routes.

Car pick up and drop off were both very easy. We turned the car in three days early (due to a death in the family). I was told we will be credited back the remaining days. Assuming this happens I'm VERY satisfied. If this does not happen, I will be very disappointed.

My flight arrived at 10:00. The Avis counter closed at 9:00 so I had to get a cab to my hotel. In the morning I walked a mile to the airport to get my car. When I asked why they close before all the flights for the night have arrived they said Well sorry we close at 9:00, still want the car or not?
