Top Tips for Renting a Van in Fairbanks
- Driving Fairbanks van rentals is a wonderful way to see this renowned city in the interior of Alaska. If you are traveling with your family, you can all ride in comfort as you drive around the city visiting sites such as the Museum of the North, Pioneer Park, and the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. If you are in Fairbanks with friends to enjoy outdoor adventures, there will be room for all of you and your outdoor recreation gear, camping supplies, and backpacks. Fairbanks van rentals will allow you to enjoy your Fairbanks visit to its fullest.
- For those considering driving Fairbanks van rentals across the border into Canada, keep in mind that you will have to discuss this with the car rental agency and obtain their permission first. If they allow this, they must give you a no-cost Canadian non-residents card, which is proof of insurance that you need to show border officials before you can enter Canada. At the border, you will have to show your valid U.S. driver's license, your passport, and your rental car agreement.
- You will notice on Fairbanks van rentals that there is a plug near the hood. Cars in Fairbanks, including Fairbanks van rentals, come equipped with an electric battery blanket and heating pads under the transmission and oil pan to keep them from freezing up in cold temperatures. When it drops to 20° F or below, plug in your car. It is most likely that the hotel where you are staying will have head bolt outlet posts. Before leaving the rental agency lot, ask if the car rental agency has extension cords for plugging in your car.
- If you are driving Fairbanks van rentals in the ice or snow, remember to slow down and leave more space between you and the other vehicles on the road to avoid accidents on the slick roads. Moreover, beware of intersections. The roads become much more slippery here, so drive with extreme caution. Double check in all directions before proceeding at a green light at an intersection because in Fairbanks, like everywhere else, people will try to speed through a yellow light, which can be disastrous on slippery roads.

FAQs About Renting a Van in Fairbanks

May 2021
Pros:
The people in Fairbanks were wonderful! The car we rented was not at the airport, so we asked the airport Enterprise if there was a shuttle. The young man at the airport went above and beyond. He called the other station and had someone come pick us up. He then came out and checked on us twice to see if we had been picked up. Then Jesse picked us up and was very friendly. There were a shortage of cars so he gave us an upgrade for free. Everyone we dealt with was so pleasant and accommodating. The young lady in Anchorage when we turned in the car at the airport was also very cheerful and kind.Cons:
We really had a great experience. Nothing negative to say at all.10.0 Wonderful
Jun 2020
Pros:

Feb 2018
Pros:
Fast, easy, great customer service. No cars available in the class I had reserved. Free upgrade to 4x4 truck which gave great peace of mind going to and from Chena as well as our remote rental cabin. Simple pick up and drop off. Came with extension cord for block heater. Life saver in cold winter temps. 10/10 would rent again.10.0 Wonderful

May 2021
Pros:
First experience renting a vehicle. Had good gas mileage and the staff was very helpfulCons:
It was all great! Break pedals were a little touchy, probably should be checked out6.0 Okay
Mar 2021
Cons:
The operational safety of the vehicle could have been better. The vehicle had very poor traction on the icy roads and had a lot of previous damage not noted before driving away from the lot. The alignment of the vehicle was not nearly 100%, but drivable for someone familiar with the roads in Fairbanks during the winter. Overall, I suggest checking the alignment before future rental.8.0 Very good
Dec 2020
Pros:
Staff is very friendly and quick. The pickup/dropoff is outdoors and Dollar is furthest away, Dropping off with bags can be a pain since you have to go in the terminal to get a cart first, sometimes staff will pull the car up to the curb if they aren't too busy. they did it for me twice.Cons:
Just the parking situation but being Fairbanks Alaska, most things are rustic which should be expected.8.4 Very good

Pros:

Mar 2020
Cons:
They said they don't even stock the car (or even the brand of car) I booked, so they gave me a different one, which other companies were offering for less money. I told them this was a bait and switch and asked if they could give a discount, since I would have gone with their competitors at the lower rate. They required me to prove that the car I booked was what I claimed, since they apparently don't have any record on their side of the car. After I proved the booking and requested a manager, they provided discount, which is fair, but this experience shouldn't happen.8.8 Very good
May 2019
Pros:
The staff were all great. The airport is small, so it was very easy to locate. I loved not needed a shuttle to get to the car!Cons:
The check in process was a tad slow. I was behind one person and was very glad there wasn’t a big line to contend with.Thrifty

Lied that it was a 4 wheel drive, lied that it was weatherize, gave us a cord to plug it in and then there was no plug installed on the car. Argued with me on the phone about it and eventually tried to blame me that I booked the wrong thing but I had my reservation to show otherwise.6.4 Okay

my friend left a gift for his wife in the console (a gold necklace) when we returned the car. I went back 40 minutes after turning it in - it was already being cleaned and that guy said he didn't find anything. Really? In todays world?Hertz

Nov 2020
Pros:
The lady at the counter was friendly and polite. And very apologetic.Cons:
My reservation did not work. Hertz did not have any cars available even though Kayak decided they would book my reservation anyway and make me think I had a car. I had planned for 22/day which was the rate I was given. Instead I was forced to use the only car agency that had a car available and it cost me 5x as much. $110. I will never use kayak again and I will strongly recommend others use a different site to compare rates or book. Since kayak is useless if it can’t actually book my reservation properly. It’s -20F in Alaska , that’s where I am. And I was forced to overpay for a rental, in any other situation I would have walked but sadly my hands were tied in this situation. 0/5 very poor quality site and poor quality service. I recommend people do not use this site any chance I can now. Which is often since I work in Customer Service and Tourism.10.0 Wonderful
