We didn’t get the vehicle from Avis in Fairbanks. We booked online and went in and then were told they didn’t have the suv we booked available for us even though it showed available still online. They didn’t have anything available we were told although several things were still showing available online. The only thing we were offered was a huge van. The man was very rude at Avis. We declined, our rental was canceled, we were not charged anything and we went to Budget where they were very helpful and we did get the suv we needed.

Everything was great except we had an incident with a lockout. We’ve never had an electronic key that could be locked in the vehicle. We called AvIs to get the door handle code and they declined to help.

I mistakenly scheduled my vehicle pick up two hours late. My rental was not ready, but the clerk offered me a larger SUV immediately for a slight increase in the price. It was a useful suggestion because I was worried that the SUV I had reserved was too small. So, it was constructive and worked out well.
Waited forn15 minutes at the counter for someone to arrive and it was during regular business hours. Vehicle smelled so strongly of cigarettes and marijuana that I had to drive with all 4 windows down to keep from getting a headache. The last straw was that the vehicle had not been fueled up and topped off after the last rental. Won’t be renting from them again.

Long Lines, far longer than the other rental carriers and noticed their customers in and out much faster than Budget. Car was in great shape and got great MPG for Alaska. The drop-off was somewhat strange, note: Gas Stations are a bit of a distance from the airport so keep that mind if you're planning on filling up before dropping off. The Key-Drop was unusual, luckily an attendant was there to assist.
Hari took above-and-beyond care of us; we felt like we were so spoiled! And, everything about our trip in Alaska was lovely because she helped us get organized in places to visit for food and in our wrap-up in dropping the car off with extra time and a different location! Amazing experience. <3

Enterprise at Fairbanks Airport is awesome. They always have newer/clean vehicles and the customer service is second to none. I always receive a personalized e-mail from the manager the day after pickup checking on my satisfaction with the vehicle and the customer service I received at vehicle checkout. Kudos to a well run organization.
Excellent all around except the airport pick up was not available as advertised.

When I book something through Kayak, I assume that the “total” price is what I am going to pay—I expected to pay $300-something with taxes included but left Thrifty paying $404.

Arrived an hour earlier than scheduled time, vehicle was ready. Customer service agent was knowledgeable and got us on our way quickly.
I like the car but it was smelly with cigarettes smoke. The previous renters smoke inside and didn’t clean it thoroughly for the next renter. Also, the staff at the front desk did not do anything to help me to rent the vehicle. I only have a debit card and a local and he refused to help me until I asked for his supervisor who helped me rent the car.
