KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Whittier

  • Whittier is a picturesque town surrounded by stunning landscapes and natural wonders. Car rentals in Whittier allow you to explore the area's beauty and visit various attractions, such as Portage Glacier, Whittier Harbor, Begich Towers, and the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. With very little in the way of public transportation to get you around town, rental cars become the most convenient and cost-effective choice for exploring in this part of the world.
  • Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) is the ideal option for those looking to pick up Whittier car rentals from an airport. Approximately nine rental companies operate here, all conveniently situated in the Rental Car Center across from the South Terminal. To access the Rental Car Center, free airport shuttle buses run between the South Terminal, North Terminal, and the Rental Car Center every 15 minutes, operating continuously throughout the day and night.
  • Visitors driving car rentals in Whittier can experience unique and unforgettable aspects of this vast and beautiful state. Alaska is home to diverse wildlife, including moose, bears, eagles, whales, and more. Driving through certain areas may provide opportunities to spot these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats. If visiting during the summer, you'll experience the midnight sun phenomenon. The sun remains above the horizon for nearly 24 h, allowing for extended daylight driving and unique outdoor adventures. While Alaska's scenic drives are awe-inspiring, some roads can be rugged and challenging, especially in less populated regions. Be prepared for gravel roads, potholes, and changing weather conditions.
  • Whittier is a small town with limited road access, and driving times are generally not subject to significant traffic congestion like in larger cities. During the cruise ship season, which typically runs from late spring to early fall, increased activity may occur around the port area as cruise ships arrive and depart. Whittier is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer when visitors explore the scenic beauty of Prince William Sound and nearby attractions. As a result, you may encounter more vehicles and tourists during peak travel times.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Whittier for $159 or less
  • Medium rental cars in Whittier are around 22% cheaper than other car types, on average

The pickup location was moved from downtown to near the airport, but we were not notified, causing us additional time and expense. They did allow us to not fill the gas tank, a savings of perhaps $30… The vehicle was unexpectedly a small pickup truck with a very uncomfortable rear seat. The windshield came with a quarter size starburst shaped crack, which was noticed by us, but not by Avis. Staff was friendly and professional.
