Dale's gal Posted August 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just wanted to say that we rented a car through Juneau Car Rental for our port stop on August 1st. Its right at the end of the dock where the NCL Pearl docked, so no far walking. Our car was a 2005 Malibu with 177K miles. It cost $67.85. We had no issues, it got us where we wanted to go, at our own pace and booking, pick up and return was simple. We brought our own GPS and headed to Mendenhall Glacier first. Took our time exploring. Then went to the Alaskan Brewery and the hatchery. What an amazing sight to see all the salmon spawning! So I highly recommend Juneau Car Rental!

RenegadeThreads Posted August 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Juneau Car Rental was out of cars, but I was surprised that find that I got a better rate and good chat feedback from dealing with Avis Alaska site instead of main Avis site. Pickup looks to be in the same area on Mill Street. http://www.avisalaska.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearvet Posted August 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thank you for posting this! That's exactly what we've decided to do in Juneau, so it's great to hear that you had a good experience with Juneau Car Rental. What is parking like at Mendenhall Glacier? I think from there we'll drive to Eagle Beach as well as the hatchery and brewery. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straitlover Posted August 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Do you recall the name of the dock that's near that Juneau Car Rental Office? When I look up the agency online, the only location it lists is the one near the airport. We are thinking of renting and just driving ourselves to whale watching and Mendenhall in hopes we will have time to see more stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF Cruiser Posted August 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Juneau Car Rental is at the AJ dock - about a 15-20 minute walk from the other docks. There is someone at the AJ dock location only when there are cruisers in town to rent a car. The rest of the time they are at their airport location. I've been renting from them for years and have always had a positive experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from there we'll drive to Eagle Beach as well as the hatchery and brewery. Thanks again! We've just returned from a 14 night back to back. On our first visit to Juneau we hired a car from Avis who have a pick up in the same area as Juneau Car rental. Our ship docked in town and it was about a 20 min walk to the office to collect the car. We drove to Mendenhall Glacier and were able to park easily. The parking lot nearest the visitor centre is quite small but there is additional parking which you will come across first as you approach the visitors centre ( drive past the bus parking and overflow car park and see if you can park at the visitor centre first). We also visited eagle beach which was about a 20 min drive from the glacier and visited St Theresa's shrine on the way back to Juneau.
