Tucked into the Southern fringes of Alaska on the Cook Inlet, Anchorage is surrounded by stunning wilderness, and is also the most populated city in the state — meaning you get all the benefits of a hub in the most scenic of locations.
The city was rocked by earthquakes in the 1960s, and was rebuilt as a modern city with enough to keep the steady flow of seasonal workers, tourists, and locals entertained. Anchorage is also the ideal place to set off on adventures to other far-flung Alaskan regions, so grab your Anchorage airport car rental alternative and head into the wild.
Natural beauty is why visitors are drawn to Alaska, so dress warmly and prepare to hop in your Anchorage car rental alternative to explore and learn about the land.
Just 20 minutes from downtown Anchorage, the Chugach Mountains tower over the city and are a quick, breathtaking escape from city life. Hike Flattop Mountain or Lakeside Trail for excellent views.
This center preserves and shares the cultures of 11 indegenious Alaskan groups, through story-telling, dance, language classes, and replica villages that show you how people thrived well before central heating.
Follow this extraordinary 11-mile trail around along the Pacific coast and through the dunes near Kincaid Park for views of Fire Island and a moose, if you’re lucky!

Jovan was a great host and had excellent communication. This was the best car for driving around Anchorage! Highly recommend.
Thanks to this person I was able to go to work and the nice car that we rented. It was so clean and the owner was so nice. Thank you!
Philomenas super nice! Rented from her twice, she had the car ready for pick up a few hours before the start time.
William was amazing! Will definately look him up for another car rental. Extremely amazing communication.
The Varner’s Lexus IS a beautiful car and handled well in the snow. They were accommodating and friendly.
This was my first Turo experience and because of Mark and the Mini Cooper, I will try Turo again on my next trip. Mark and his car were great. Better than a traditional rental service in many ways. If you’re ever in Anchorage and need a car, this is the one to go with. Quite fun to drive around in Alaska with too!
From start to finish, this trip was fantastic. Över was the perfect owner to rent from. He is clear, communicative, professional, and even drove my wife and I to the airport after we finished our trip free of charge. The best experience we could have asked for on our honeymoon! Need a car in Anchorage for your trip to Alaska? Över is your guy.
Awesome Service and very flexible when it comes to extensions. Customer satisfaction is definitely one of their main focuses. Will be recommending to any and everyone👌🏽
car was perfect for the short road trip south of Anchorage. Tyler was easy to communicate with and also was great with instructions regarding the car return. would consider renting again if in the area.
Jimmy is so easy to work with . Our schedule was difficult and Jimmy was so kind . We will be using him and this rental for our guests at our B&B Downtown Anchorage ! Highly recommend this vehicle for business or longer highway trips ! Excellent gas mileage and Jimmy is a great member to the Turo community !
Very satisfied with the service and humbled to be able to rent out a wonderful car for our day trip in anchorage. It ran like a beauty and we enjoyed the freedom to explore. Highly recommend
Great car, great bass on the speakers. Took it for a nice weekend trip from Anchorage to Kenai Peninsula. Drives great and the owners are super kind!
Brian was very accommodating and his Tesla was the best. I am hooked. I can't wait to take it on another trip until I can find my own.
Super amazing host . We had a bunch of weather changes for our trip and while I know we frustrated them they never showed it ! A great car super nice .. We fit a ton of luggage in it but we are a party of two . It’s worth mentioning the delivery service is so worth it . Car was heated and warm for our flight arrival from the bush . Already booked our next trip in ten days!
It’s a great app very easy to use and it’s worth for evrytime you needed a car to rent or used and this vehicle is so awsome
Nick responded quickly to any message I sent. The car was clean and ran great, even on snowy roads. Definitely would recommend Nick to anyone looking for a car to drive in Anchorage.
S and D are fantastic hosts and their car was lovely! Perfect if you’re looking for a more eco friendly rental option. And the extra trunk space/hatchback was a huge plus.
Great fuel efficient car that smells great! The all wheel drive wasn't needed but gave me a bit of confidence since it had just snowed. Ashlie was super easy to deal with and had great communication. Would definitely rent again when I need it. Thanks Ashlie!
Pick up and drop off we a breeze! Brandon made accommodations that made it extremely easy. Also, this was way more economical than traditional rental agencies. The car are very clean and in perfect condition. Studded tires are a nice bonus. I highly recommend this service. We’d definitely reserve from Brandon again when we are in town again.
This was my first Turo experience and it great. Scott was extremely communicative and the car was fantastic and unique. It was also nice to have the added safety of winter tires for Anchorage’s rutted and icy winter roads. I would most definitely rent from Scott again.
The car arrived in immaculate condition. It’s perfect for two people and light luggage. Over 500 miles only took $30 in gas all the while enjoying the agility and sporty nature of this CT200h. However, some highway roads in Alaska are barely more than dirt roads due to construction and I was a bit worried about the low clearance this car has. There were no problems in and around Anchorage but towards Kenai you will encounter roads that are better crossed with an SUV. Our host was excellent in providing instructions on how to operate the vehicle and how to use the app to document mileage and other important info. I’ll happily rent from them again, probably a different vehicle if available.
Teo is great! Super responsive and friendly. The car ran great- had it for a week and it was perfect. Will definitely rent again next time we visit Anchorage.
Had some issues with Turo but thanks to Tyler’s effort and flexibility we were still able to rent the car and the trip went smoothly. Thank you!
Best rental service I’ve had ever, love Rodney and his brothers are helpful as well, so much communication and help you if there’s a problem that comes up.
Aaron was great! He was very responsive and very helpful during the whole trip. I would 100% rent from him again. Thanks Aaron! I also loved the car, nice sound system, drove great and auto start was a plus!
Ashley was THE BEST vehicle host, and made our entire first Turo experience amazing. She is super flexible with times/meeting place and responds quickly to Turo messages and texts. If you’re ever traveling into Anchorage PLEASE book with her!
Great host, the car was in great condition and had no issues. We were able to extend the rental easily and was a great experience!
Paige's Subaru is a blast to drive and is in great condition. A great sunmertime car to zip around in Anchorage.
What a fantastic trip! Brad was great; very easy to work with and very personable. He was ready to hand the car off to us at the airport before we touched down and was there to pick it up in excellent time for our departure (for a very reasonable fee.) My new bride and I were on our honeymoon and Brad went above and beyond to make sure all our luggage fit and that we were familiar enough with the vehicle to have a wonderful time, and we did. We drove down to Kenai and Homer in this vehicle and it was the perfect little two-seater convertible sports-car! We had to wait to take the top down until we emptied the trunk but it was So Fun in the open air. It is very easy to drive and is conveniently tiny and maneuverable in parking lots. (It also hides well, so remember where you parked and be prepared to say: “What!? I get to drive this!?!” every time you find it.) While it is small and low, even my 6'4” friend was able to fit in it comfortably (with top down.) It also has the gumption to back up it's good looks with an incredibly fun amount of power, an easy clutch and a snappy transmission. Overtaking on the highway was a joy. That being said: Please, Always Drive Responsibly! and rent this car, you will have a blast.
Andrew made my rental experience extremely stress free and simple. I had a last minute adjustment to my trip and he accommodated that change with ease and promptness. Overall, I am very happy with my first experience using Turo.
Philomena was amazing , she communicated promptly and made the whole experience very easy! Her car was clean and tidy , would rent again .
Över was amazing! Very helpful with picking us up and getting a ride to the car (and back to our hotel at the end). His phone was always available for calls and text and he always answered right away. I would definitely rent through him again.
We rented this car for our son to use while his was in the shop. Over was incredibly helpful! He was very flexible with extensions, responded to messages immediately (usually with a phone call), and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
This lil car isn’t so little! I loved driving it around, it was nice in Anchorage and handled great outside the city too! Definitely a great find!
This was a fun car for me and my wife on our honeymoon! It is clean, smooth, and sporty which makes it perfect for cruising on the mountain roads near Anchorage.
The car was very clean and drove perfectly. Couldn't have asked for a better rental. Teo was awesome very friendly and prompt with vehicle being ready for pick up and drop off. 100% would reccomend and I myself will be re re-renting from Teo when I return
Brian was amazing! He showed us how to operate the Tesla and even the autopilot feature in a parking lot where the car drove to us. As we are looking at purchasing a Tesla, this was very helpful. The Model 3 we rented was very clean and handled superbly. We weren’t the most responsible drivers as we were testing performance in snow and icy conditions. We did make sure people weren’t around though. We had the car 8 hours and it was the most fun we’ve had driving a vehicle recently. If you are looking at a Tesla for your next vehicle I would encourage you to rent from Brian for the day to learn about the handling and features.
This whole experience made renting a car so convenient and made my trip so enjoyable. Will definitely be using this service again and again!
Över was fantastic. Super easy rental process and a reliable car that was fun to drive. I would definitely recommend booking with Över.
Teo’s Impala was perfect for our trip! It had plenty of trunk space for our three suitcases and extra items. Gas mileage was also a plus, as we only had to fill up a couple of times and we did a fair amount of driving. We also were able to hook our phone up through the aux. and use our gps feature, which helped tremendously. Super clean, amazing car. Thank you!
This is the second time we’ve used Turo, everything has worked out great and we really enjoyed it. On this particular trip Alex the car owner was great and had lots of information which actually helped us plan much of our trip.
Nick was a class act!!! My wife who is pregnant loved the vehicle and his communication! We will be booking with him again! And he is close to the military base!!!
Very easy to work with, they made the process streamlined and user friendly. Greats hosts!!!
Rented this car for a week vacation. Car is in a perfect condition. Super clean and fuel efficient. Easy to pick up and drop off.
I rented the car for a business trip to Kenai. Tyler made pick up and delivery smooth and easy and when out of his way tobe helpful.
My wife and I were in town for a conference and realized at the last minute that renting a car would be cheaper than Uber. Andrew was flexible and was available on short notice, and his car was great.
Brian and his Tesla Model 3 are highly recommended. The entire rental process was fantastic: Brian is kind, flexible, and considerate. His knowledge of Tesla and the EV world is very helpful for educating someone new, and his philosophy of sharing and encouraging others to enjoy this new form of transportation made the rental a superb experience. I look forward from renting from Brian again in the future, and encourage you to do so.
Josh and Scott were fantastic, very responsive, and a pleasure to drive their vehicle! 10/10 recommend!!!
Everything about this trip was great! They were flexible with pick up and return. Communication was excellent! Car was clean and in great shape! Would definitely rent from them again!
Very nice trip ! The car is really easy to drive, also on snow. Idrees is a very nice host, flexible and understanding, Highly recommanded to deal with him.
Mark was awesome. Car was fun to drive to Fairbanks! Good ol alaska struck back with some rocks and cracked the windshield and Mark has been great about it (yes im paying for it lol). Def would rent from him again.
I always look for Anne’s car when renting at Turo. Very very convenient. Pickups and drop offs are always so easy. No hassle at all. Highly recommended and will definitely rent from her again.
Anne and her car were both delightful! Such a convenient delivery and such a perfect car for our trip!
I would highly recommend renting from Andrew!! Service was amazing and the car was extremely clean and very well-maintained. I will definitely be renting from him again. Great communication and very convenient.
Perfect car for the weather. I love Lexus, I have an IS 250 but it's rear wheel drive, and doesn't handle well in the snow. This car handles beautifully especially when I found myself on the freeway by mistake. Lol, would rent again.
Tayfun was a great host who communicated well and made things super easy. The car was great and super efficient. Highly impressed all around. Would recommend.
All was very good renting this vehicle from Anthony. I would rent from him again, the price was right and I would recommend him highly for your rental.
Larry was so nice and his car was awesome! Rented it just for the day for a date with my husband down to the next town girdwood for dinner. I would recommend renting this car and rent from Larry!
Tayfun made the transportation part of our travel SUPER easy and simple. The car was clean, had tons of extra functions, worked very well, and was a great deal! His check-in, and check-out were very simple. He communicated quickly and was flexible with dropoff time. I would definitely Turo with Tayfun again! Thanks!
Ashlie is great and easy to work with. She let me keep the car a little later than normal due to a plane delay as well. Great communicator!
A great vehicle and experience! The car was squeaky clean and Ashlie made the whole process very easy! We drove to a wedding and the car handled great on a gravel terrain. Would recommend!
Ashlie was wonderful. Great communicator. The car ran great and I felt safe driving in the snow in this car. The pick up and drop off was easy. Great gas mileage.
Awesome car. Owners will meet you at the airport. Very friendly. Great experience!
Vance is a great guy! We had some tire trouble (nothing to do with Vance) that was scary initially but all worked itself out. Vance was responsive, understanding, and extremely helpful. The car itself was wonderful! Reliable and an excellent Alaskan roadtrippin’ car. When we’re back in AK, we’ll definitely use Vance’s Subaru.
Fantastic car and easy to drive! The whole process was so smooth and easy with an awesome car host Rory, being so understanding of our flight delays in the beginning of our trip. Highly recommended to use his car for your alaskan adventure!
Great host. Super nice and had the car ready to be picked up before the trip started. Fun car to explore alaska with as well.
I found exactly what I needed and Host was friendly and helpful. No surprises, great car, made my trip smooth! Thank you.
Desiree was a great host , super easy to communicate with. We loved the car ! Would definitely rent again!
Pickup and return was easy. Caleb was quick to respond with any questions and was so easy to work with. The car worked well for the 1400 miles I drove. It's a great deal.
Andrew was super helpful, let me extend my trip last minute and even change the pick up spot to my car repair shop so I didn’t have to take an Uber
Andrew is an awesome person to rent from. The car was excellent. He was very accommodating
For incredible picture-perfect views, take the 125-mile highway to Seward in your Anchorage car rental alternative for epic hikes, sheep sightings, and Turnagain Arm.
While the drive north isn’t instantly dramatic, take Alaska 1 toward until it becomes the beautiful Glenn Highway to Palmer. Your Anchorage car rental alternative will savor the twists along the river.
A local drive that takes you up into the northern reaches of the Chugach Mountains, this drive swoops you around the fingered edges of Eklutna Lake for impressive views.
