Get your vehicle delivered right to you or wherever you’re going in Sitka, AK, including Sitka, AK airport. Many hosts offer delivery to custom locations or popular points of interest, like airports, train stations, and hotels. Popular Sitka, AK pickup locations include:
While Sitka is a tiny city, it does have an airport – the Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, located west of the downtown area on Japonski Island. With just one runway, it mainly facilitates trips between Sitka and other Alaskan cities via Alaska Airlines. Once you land in Sitka, skip right past the airport car rental counter by booking your rental vehicle on Turo. Collect your car at a convenient spot along Airport Rd, then set off towards your accommodation or start exploring the area right away.
The other major way to arrive in Sitka is via cruise ship at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal. This port receives far more yearly visitors than the airport does, with numbers climbing to over 500,000 in 2023. If you're sailing your way into Sitka, organize for your car rental to be ready and waiting for you when you book on Turo. The cruise terminal is the perfect pickup spot, situated along the waterfront in close proximity to the downtown area. Meet your host, grab the keys, and set out to see everything Sitka has to offer.
If you'd prefer to avoid the busyness of the cruise terminal, choose to pick up your Sitka rental vehicle from somewhere convenient downtown, such as a local landmark or a popular accommodation spot. Prior to booking, use the Turo app to filter by location, or try the 'Deliver to me' feature to see which hosts offer delivery within Sitka. Then, when you arrive, getting around will be easy – from pickup to drop off and everything in between.

Airport pickup made easy
Next time you fly, don’t wait in line and fill out forms — pick your car up at hundreds of popular airports.
Convenient pickup & return
Rather than hustling at the busy terminal curbside, take your time picking up the car at approved parking lots or garages. Check in, load up your luggage, and get comfortable with the car without a big rush.
No lines, no paperwork
Skip the rental car counter at hundreds of popular airports without waiting in line or filling out paperwork. Find and pick up the car with the app and hit the road in no time.
Free cancellation
Cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. Because life happens and it helps to be flexible when it does.

Pickup near or at Airports
Get set for an epic time driving in Sitka by first brushing up on the local road rules and Alaska's driving quirks. Here's a rundown to guarantee you're set when it's time to hit the roads... all 14 miles of them.
Because Sitka is small and isolated from the rest of Alaska, it's an incredibly easy place to drive. There's not much to worry about on Sitkan roads, and the state's driving rules are consistent with other parts of the US.
While driving in Sitka, be sure to always drive on the right-hand side of the road, wear a seatbelt, obey road signage, and adhere to speed limits. These are capped at 15 miles per hour (mph) in alleys, 20 mph in the downtown area and 25 mph in residential areas and on major thoroughfares like Sawmill Creek Rd. Texting and driving is illegal in Alaska – you may only hold your phone if making a call – and uniquely, there are many roads in the state that require you to have your headlights on all day long. Most native Alaskan drivers do this by default, which is a good tactic to take if you're unsure.
Something to note while driving in Sitka is the wildlife. Although the area has a much more suburban feel than other parts of the state, you may still encounter the occasional deer or bear on the road, especially if you're traveling at night. By following speed limits, using your headlights, and keeping alert, you shouldn't have any problems if an animal were to cross your path.
While Alaska is known for icy, snowy conditions, you won't notice this as much in Sitka due to its placement in the south of the state. The city receives around 45 inches of snow per year, and temperatures don't drop much beyond 22°F, indicating a mild winter. Exercise the same cautions you would year-round – practising defensive driving and staying across major weather updates. If you want to take extra precautions, filter by snow chains on Turo and find a vehicle to suit your needs.
Parking in Sitka is an absolute breeze. At all major tourist attractions, including national parks and wildlife centers like Fortress of the Bear, you'll find ample parking that's often free. In the city center, there are street parks, as well as a small handful of parking lots if you need one. For an easy spot to leave your vehicle while you walk around downtown Sitka, try the free all-day parking lot at Harrigan Centennial Hall. At Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, there are two parking lots for short-term (day use only) and long-term travelers (up to 7 days), both of which are also free if the rules are obeyed.
No, there are no toll roads in Sitka, Alaska. In fact, the only place you'll encounter a toll road in the entire state is in Whittier, which is not accessible by car from Sitka (as Sitka is not connected to mainland Alaska). So, you can journey through Sitka in your car rental without ever having to worry about paying tolls – a stress-free visit awaits.
When we say Sitka is remote, we mean it. As of 2025, there are only two gas stations in the entire town: the Cascade Convenience Store at 1211 Sawmill Creek Rd, and the Petro Express Car Wash & Gas at 614 Katlian St. Although it's hard to run out of fuel with only 14 miles of road to explore, be sure to plan your trip as best you can for max convenience.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are still a pretty new concept across Alaska, but Sitka has more than you may think. There were a little over 120 registered EVs in Sitka in 2022 – which, with a population of just over 8,000, shows that uptake in the area has been favourable. Yet, there's just one EV charging station in the whole of Sitka, located at 204 Siginaka Way. If you're just visiting for a short time, we recommend opting for a gas-based vehicle to take the stress out of your trip.
Unlike many other parts of the US, renting a car in Sitka isn't a necessity. The downtown area is easily walkable, and there are buses that operate from the cruise ship terminal if you want to hit major tourist hotspots. However, if you're relocating here, visiting longer-term, or traveling for business, that's when a Sitka car rental will really come in handy. Your own vehicle offers a gateway to discovering the sheer natural beauty of this Alaskan gem, including direct access to national parks that's harder to come by when you're operating on someone else's schedule.
