Important information about Anchorage car rentals

Car rentals in Anchorage are a great way to get around the city and to your favorite sights. Portage Glacier and Chugach State Park are good examples of destinations that are easier to get to with Anchorage car rentals. Some of the iconic destinations to check out downtown are the Port of Anchorage, Earthquake Park, and the Alaska Native Heritage Center. It's possible to find a cheap car rental in Anchorage. There are various rental car agencies to choose from and finding parking shouldn’t be too difficult. It's possible to park on the streets, and there are multiple parking garages around the downtown area if necessary. You will want to be extra careful if you plan on renting during the winter due to snow and ice.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Anchorage?

Although downtown is ideal for walking, you will want to find car rentals in Anchorage to explore the wilderness around the city. Many of the main destinations and beautiful sights are in the mountains surrounding it and less than a two-hour drive away. Anchorage is also known for its scenic drives like the Seward Highway (I-1), south of Anchorage, along the Turnagain Arm. There are parking meters in the downtown area as well as multiple parking lots. Parking is free on weekday evenings and all day on weekends. The I-1 is the most direct way in and out of Anchorage, but we recommend avoiding it at rush hour. Old Seward Highway which runs parallel to the I-1 also tends to be crowded at peak hours.

Can I drive into Canada with a rental car from Anchorage?

If you book with car rentals in Anchorage, Alaska, most major rental companies will allow you to cross the Canadian border. Important to know is although the rental company will let you drive into Canada, you still need to be insured while road tripping around the country. You can easily acquire a Canadian non-resident insurance card at most economy car rental locations, just let the agent at the counter know that you plan to travel to Canada and pay for the extra insurance. Anchorage car rentals most likely mean you’ll be wanting to cross the Canadian border, but if you plan on driving all the way south to Mexico, you’ll need to be aware of certain conditions and limitations. Check with the rental company as some companies do not allow crossing the Mexican border at all, while others require extra insurance that covers you in Mexico.

Can you rent a rental car in Anchorage without a credit card?

Whether you’re looking for a luxury car rental in Anchorage or cheap car rentals, the easiest way to reserve any car is with a credit card. If you don’t have a credit card, there are other ways to book, but you need to organize with car rental locations in Anchorage ahead of time. For reserving a car with a debit card, make sure you have a sufficient balance in your account to cover the cost of the rental as well as an up-front deposit that you will get back when you return the vehicle. If you don’t have any cards and only carry cash, this will take a little planning on your part. Some car rental companies allow you to rent with cash, but only if you fill out an online application to receive a cash deposit identification card. Keep in mind this could take up to a month to obtain and you could also be asked to give an upfront cash deposit.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Anchorage?

Because of the Alaskan terrain, driving laws in the state can be different from other states. For example, in some areas, it’s required to have your headlights on during daylight hours all year round. While others only require headlights during the day in the wintertime. Speed limits are also different in Alaska. There is a default maximum speed, but it isn't always posted. So if you’re on a road and don’t see a speed limit, check ahead of time to make sure you know the speed limit. Like most U.S. states, Alaska also bans the use of cell phones or texting while driving. Stay safe while driving your car rental in Anchorage by either letting your passenger use the device or pull over to use it.

What documents does an international traveler need to rent a car in Anchorage?

If you want to book through car rentals in Anchorage, but don’t have an Alaskan driver’s license, you can still drive legally. To do so, you need to have a valid driver’s license from another state or country or have a valid international driver’s permit. Alaska does not issue international driver’s licenses. Instead, you will have to get one from your home country. It’s recommended to keep a copy of your passport in case the rental car company wants it for their records. If you plan on being in Anchorage for over 90 days, you will need to get an Alaskan driver’s license to continue renting and driving legally.
