Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Alaska car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility while traveling is important. That’s why many prepaid reservations provide a complete refund if you let us know six hours before pickup. It’s still good to scan your cancellation policy though as there are some exclusions. If there’s nothing specified there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Alaska?
Small in size but big on benefits, economy cars are the top choice in Alaska. They’re a cinch to handle and park, which is ideal if you’ll be doing lots of city driving. And with great fuel-efficiency, this popular rental type will have you cruising around on the cheap. Prefer a larger car? Check out our range of mid-size, full-size or premium vehicles.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Alaska with Expedia?
Whatever type of ride you’re looking for, Expedia will help you track down the best deal. Compare the offers from well-known rental suppliers and pick the option that’s right for you. Want to hit the road with even more in your wallet? Combine your Alaska car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alaska?
You’ll need to be 21 and over to pick up the keys to a rental car in Alaska. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Many companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Alaska?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alaska?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then lock in a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying in Alaska or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find an Alaska car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 in Alaska often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any additional fees for this age group. It’d be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape extra costs at the rental desk.
