Recent reviews
The car had some wear and was a bit dirty inside, but it was dependable, got great gas mileage, and handled my trip without any issues. The owners were communicative and helpful throughout the rental. For the price, it was one of the best deals I found during my stay and was definitely worth it.
Super easy and cheaper than any other car rental place. Some damage on car and windshield but still worth it. Also the explanation mark was on the dash for the tires but none seemed low, it would go on and off. I highly recommend Turo!
Happy I found a vehicle available! Anchorage car rental was not prepared. 50 people were in line with reservations. And vehicles were not available
Easy, Convenient, Friendly! Everything you’d want from a car rental. The pickup, driving,
Car quality, pick up, drop off and host were all great. Host responded to all my questions in a timely manner. No issues. Car was the perfect size. Price was affordable.
Car was nice. But most appreciated was service of allowing changes in drop-off and pick-up time and locations and to allow extra time because of a late flight. Pavel went above and beyond expectations. Made my first Turo experience a pleasure. Definitely contact him again when needed.
Very happy with my trip. Pickup and drop off was simple. The host had good communication. The price was much cheaper than renting from one of the big brands. I would do it again in the future.
Logistics were great except the car was a $25 trip from airport. Price of rental smoothed this over.
Andre is the BEST host. This is my first time using Turo and he made me want to use it more. He made sure there was nothing wrong with the car, and accommodated all my needs. He even checked in between trips to see if everything is all right. The car was great too. It has all the things needed for your Alaska trip. Thank you so much!
Easy pick up, super clean car, awesome rental. and great owner! Would rent from again!
The pickup was very easy and quick. The car was clean, and we had no issues throughout the entire trip. Abdue was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely rent from him again!
Really just the best people you could rent a car from. Ever. Bonus points if you rock the bright green fiesta. Thank you!!
Great car! Clean, reliable, and exactly as described. The host was responsive and made the rental process easy. Would definitely rent again.
We had a great experience with this car. It was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. It drove smoothly throughout our trip, and we had no issues at all. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable rental!

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?
Traditional rental counters in Alaska generally require you to be 21 (though some may allow 20 with high fees). On Turo, the minimum age is 18.
