Pick-up and drop-off was easy. Tim makes things easy and communication was fluid from the beginning. If you're looking for a small car for a convinient price, this is a very good option.
The host personally dropped off the keys, was very friendly and flexible with dropoff options. The car was in great shape and very clean. Great trip, thank you!
Dan is great! Car was very clean and in great condition. I will rent from him again if I come back up!
Very flexible, accidentally showed up a day earlier then reservation and he accommodated.
Excellent experience. Good car, very helpful and hospitable person who rented it to me, all the steps were easy. I recommend this person and his cars to anyone.
Jeff was very kind and helpful. We did unfortunately have to cut the trip short due to a failed fuel pump. But things happen. Such is life!
Svetlana was great to work with. Good communication and clean, smooth running car.
Car was exactly what we needed and in good condition. Communication with owner was great, very responsive.
Brandon was outstanding to work with. Smooth pickup and drop off. Car ran great and was meticulously clean.
The car worked out great. Location was convenient and the host Tim quick to respond to any questions I had.
WOW, we couldn't have imagined a better experience. Definitely will be reaching out to Brandon again if we return to Alaska. His car was clean, safe, exactly as described and Brandon's communication was excellent - friendly, clear, quick to respond. Brandon was very flexible and went out of his way to make our trip wonderful. As an added bonus, we also had the benefit of borrowing bear spray and a toddler life vest for free from him, so we didn't have to rent or buy one for some of our activities during the trip. Wish we could rent from Brandon everywhere!
Chris was very helpful and understanding when there was an issue and took care of it.
The car was amazing! I enjoyed my trip and Jonathan was a great host!
Car was clean, and worked well for our whole trip. Hosts were responsive to all changes!
Top tips for renting and driving a car in Wasilla
A few local pointers make driving around Wasilla easier, especially if it's your first Alaska trip. Here's what to know before you set off.
Road rules
Alaska roads are well marked, but distances are long and conditions change quickly. Keep your headlights on, watch for wildlife near dawn and dusk, and give moose plenty of room. In winter, slow down, leave extra following distance, and keep your fuel tank at least half full.
Parking
Parking in Wasilla is easy and mostly free, with public lots near downtown attractions and the Wasilla Museum. Watch posted time limits and seasonal winter restrictions for snow removal, and arrive early at popular spots in peak summer months.
Toll roads
Good news for drivers: Wasilla and most of Alaska are toll-free, so you can plan routes around fuel stops and scenery rather than toll booths. A few ferry crossings charge fees, but you won't hit tolls on the drive between Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley.
Gas and EV charging
Fill up in Wasilla before longer trips, since stations get sparse once you leave the main highways. Gas is easy to find along the Parks Highway and Glenn Highway, and a growing number of EV charging options are available around Anchorage and the valley.
Do you need a car in Wasilla?
Yes. Wasilla is spread out and public transit is limited, so a rental car is the most practical way to reach trailheads, museums, lakes, and nearby towns comfortably and on your own schedule.
Car types
Match the car to your plans. A fuel-friendly sedan handles town driving well, while a roomy, all-weather SUV adds space and comfort for gear, passengers, and long valley drives. Need to haul equipment or move a load? Compare truck rentals in Wasilla.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Wasilla?
Prices vary by vehicle type, trip length, and season, and you'll often find better value by booking early and choosing longer trips. On Turo, all applicable fees are shown up front in the app before you book, so there are no surprises at pickup.

Frequently asked questions in Wasilla, AK
What documents do I need to rent a car in Wasilla?
To book a car in Wasilla on Turo, you'll need a valid driver's license, a Turo account in good standing, and a payment method. Have your license handy at pickup so your host can verify it. Everything else, from your trip details to your protection plan, is managed in the Turo app.
What kind of driver's license do I need to rent a car in Wasilla?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wasilla?
Most guests need to be at least 18 to book a car in Wasilla on Turo, though some vehicles and destinations set higher age minimums. Younger drivers may see a limited selection, so filter by your age when you search to view the cars available to you.
Is insurance included when I rent a car in Wasilla?

Do car rentals in Wasilla come with unlimited mileage?
