Snook Posted February 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I am having one heck of a time finding information on car rentals in Anchorage. I tried calling one or more of the more well know ones but cannot get a live person to talk to. I asked questions on line, left message on phone, tried live chat with no success on any of them. I simply want to know which car rental companies are open downtown Anchorage on May 22, 2014. That's all I need to know at this point because I can (I think) make reservations on line. Is May 22 too early for them to open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you are confused about Anchorage, it is a large city, that does not shut down in the winter like the small towns along the coast.

Budget Queen Posted February 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2014 All you have to do, is look at the address of the car rentals, for downtown locations, then book them online. Enterprise, is many times the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimS4210 Posted February 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I booked with Alamo. Located right in the airport. Pretty sure all of the major car rental agencies are available year round. Just pick one and book online. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugaltravel Posted February 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2014 As was said, no need to call them. You can find that info on each company's website. Also, most booking engines won't let you book a pick up when the rental agency is closed. Generally off-airport companies are open Mon through Friday from early morning until 6pm or so and on Saturday mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snook Posted February 18, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks all for your suggestions. I am booking online with one downtown and close enough to our hotel. Yes, Budget Queen, the one you mentioned seems to be a better deal than others. We plan to drive down the Seward Hwy to Alyeska Resort and ride the Aerial Tram. Should make for an interesting day.

If you are interested in wildlife, go down a little further and visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center at Portage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
