Great car! Clean, reliable, and exactly as described. The host was responsive and made the rental process easy. Would definitely rent again.
Fantastic. Turo is a great service. Anyone looking to rent a car should take this into consideration
Reliable, comfortable car; easy instructions and rental process. Highly recommend
Nick made the entire rental process smooth and straightforward. He was there for pickup and dropoff, walked through everything clearly, and his relaxed demeanor put us at ease right away. The Prius was reliable and easy to drive, with plenty of room for gear, which was perfect for exploring the amazing sites around Anchorage without worrying about fuel costs. A hassle-free rental experience from start to finish.
The host was very kind and accommodating to our last minute reservation, even after I added the incorrect drop-off location. thank you for this clean and good working car with great service.
Great communication, very flexible with me when I messed up my pick up time and when I needed to extent my trip. Would totally book to rent a car from him again!
I like it so much it was very convenient for our trip, the car was comfortable we didn’t spend much in gas very clean , they were polite, they responded fast all our questions. definitely recommend Esther to rent this car
The car was exactly where it was supposed to be when we arrived. It ran great and we didn’t encounter any issues with the car’s performance throughout the rental. Wilfredo didn’t reply to my request, but that was a minor hiccup that didn’t take away from the overall experience. Would rent again!
The 2018 Ford Focus met our needs nicely -- though it is a bit gutless as it didn't immediately respond when I tried to quickly increase speed. That said, the rental experience was very good. Rob was more than accommodating, friendly and helpful. The car came with a USB charger for the vehicle's port, and there was a new pack of gum in the console -- a nice gift. Would rent again from this Turo source! Five stars.
This car was perfect for our trip to girdwood. We barely had to refill the tank. The car was clean and easy to drive. Jaime was very communicative. Would definitely use one of his cars again!
Great little car, comfortable, great gas mileage and cheap to fill the tank! John was an awesome host! Would rent again without a doubt
Thanks for another great rental! Excellent person to deal with and great car.
We had some travel plans that got changed up by the airline and we were unable to pick up the car as scheduled. Arthur and crew were super communicative and flexible. We opted to pick up the car at their house, and save a ton on the rental fees, and it was a seamless process. The car was in good condition, fueled up and ran well. I’d gladly rent from them again.
My first time using Turo! Was very impressed with the service and my host. Very responsive host and helpful. Really impressed with how smooth this car rental process was. Highly recommend and will use again on future trips. Many thanks!
Car was great, very clean, filled with gas and very smooth on the road. Host made sure we had the best accommodations. Highly recommend using this host if you are traveling.
Car was amazing! It had great mileage and was super clean. Would absolutely rent again in the future! Owner was super friendly and helpful, too!

White Pass and Yukon Route Railway
Carved out during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1800s, the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway is a path that thousands of desperate prospectors once took, hoping to strike it rich in the Yukon.

Enjoy the natural beauty of Alaska when you discover the Tracy Arm Fjord. Explore towering glaciers, waterfalls, and granite cliffs. With steep valley walls and dramatic scenery, you'll be in awe of just how stunning this area is. Take a boat ride, or even a seaplane, and let Alaska charm you with its gorgeous frozen wonders.

Top tips for renting a car in Alaska
Alaska is full of natural beauty and charm, and you'll want to soak in every drop of it. This is why it's handy to brush up on Alaska's road rules before you visit. Here are our top tips for driving, parking, and fueling up in Alaska.
What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Alaska?
To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through an approval process by entering your driver’s license information by providing a photo of it, and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Alaska?
Driving in Alaska will take your breath away, but it can also present challenges of its own kind. Long distances between towns and wildlife on the road are just some of the unique things to expect. Major highways are well taken care of, but some roads leading to small towns can be rough and unpaved. With many opportunities to pull over and take in the beautiful landscapes, it's helpful to be vigilant of other drivers on the road when doing so.
Distances between towns in Alaska can be vast, so it's smart to plan your routes and bring a good old-fashioned map, just in case. Winter driving here requires extra caution, due to ice, snow, and limited visibility. If you're visiting in winter, make sure you have snow chains and an ice scraper handy.
As always, adhere to local speed limits, wear a seatbelt, and only operate your phone hands-free while driving.
Are there toll roads in Alaska?
Yes, there is one toll road in Alaska, which is the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, also known as the Whittier Tunnel.
Do I need to rent a car in Alaska?
Yes, we definitely recommend renting a car in Alaska. While public transport is offered, renting a car is highly recommended for exploring the state and the surrounding areas. Many of Alaska's popular hiking trails and national parks are not easily accessible by public transport, so if you're coming to explore the great outdoors, having a rental vehicle is key. Take the Alaskan road trip of your dreams and experience scenic vistas, get up close and personal with moose and deer, and experience the freedom a rental car offers.
What occasions can I rent a car for in Alaska?
Take on whatever you have planned in Alaska with the perfect rental vehicle. On Turo, you'll discover the right car for any occasion.
- Vacation car rental: If you're planning a vacation to Alaska, having a rental car allows you the freedom and flexibility to make the trip your own. Work to your own schedule, cross everything off your list, and take your time exploring with a rental car. If you want to visit the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway, Tracy Arm Fjord, or any of Alaska's breathtaking national parks, having a rental car makes it easy to get up and go whenever. Whether you're looking for a 4WD or an SUV, Turo has you covered.
- Long-term car rental: If you're planning to visit Alaska long-term or even relocate here, having a rental car gives you the ultimate flexibility. Fit in with the locals and own your adventure with a Jeep, a RAM 1500, or even a pickup truck. A rental car makes it seamless and stress-free to explore Alaska long-term, and you can rent a vehicle on Turo for however long you need.
- Special occasion car rental: Make your special occasion even more special with the perfect rental car on Turo. Whether you're heading to a gig, a show, or even just for a night out with friends, the right rental car is the perfect accessory. Plus, unlike a traditional car rental company, you'll find a wide range of unique car models ready to rent from local hosts on Turo.
What rental car types can I find in Alaska?
Whether you want to spin around Alaska in a Ford Maverick, Tesla Model Y, Ram 1500, Toyota Sienna, Ford F-150, Lexus RX, Ford Fiesta, or a Kia Forte, Turo has you covered. Vehicle classes available include 4WDs, SUVs, and trucks. Popular makes and models found on Turo include the Dodge Durango, Nissan Leaf, Porsche Macan, Subaru Outback, Chevrolet Camaro, Chrysler 300, Jeep Cherokee, BMW 2 Series, and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Alaska?
The cost of car rental in Alaska can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Alaska, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
How old do you need to be to rent a car in Alaska?
