Snagler Posted April 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2019 We are only in port til 1:30 pm. Wondering if the car rental agencies run shuttle buses from the port to their airport locations? How easy is it to grab a taxi to Mendenhall Glacier? Is parking an issue if you drive there yourself? What about Lyft or Uber to get around? Is there enough time to do Mendenhall Glacier trails and visit Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure? I personally cannot see paying $47 per person just to ride a crowded shuttle to the glacier and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute_fan Posted April 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Not a direct answer to your question, but I looked in Kayak for the date we'll be there. Car rental for 4 hours (we're also only there until 1:30) is $100+. How many people do you have going? According to this information, a taxi is $35 to Mendenhall, but I don't know how many they'd hold.https://www.alaska.org/detail/mendenhall-glacier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartminniemouse Posted April 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I just read that UBER and LYFT do not operate due to regulatory issues. Not sure if that was up to date info or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellyMel612 Posted May 13, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I have a car reserved with Avis for our July trip. Seems they have a summer location near the port so you don't need to get to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
