Top tips for hiring a car from Avis in Anchorage

  • When choosing to book Avis car rentals in Anchorage, it is important to select the proper type of vehicle for your trip's needs. Alaska's unpredictable weather and rugged terrain make 4WD or AWD SUVs popular choices, especially if you intend to explore the state's scenic byways, national parks, and mountainous areas. If you plan to engage in outdoor activities like camping, fishing, or hauling equipment, a truck or pickup can be convenient for carrying your gear.
  • Avis offers a loyalty program called Avis Preferred that provides several perks and benefits for those who book Avis car rentals in Anchorage. Avis Preferred members often enjoy expedited rental check-in and check-out processes, reducing wait times at the rental counter. Some Avis locations offer the Avis Preferred Select & Go service, which allows members to choose their own vehicle without visiting the rental counter. Members can earn Avis Preferred Points for each qualifying rental, which can be redeemed for free rental days, upgrades, or other rewards.
  • Renting a car in Anchorage during the winter requires careful consideration. When you book Avis car rentals in Anchorage, confirm that the rental car is equipped with features suitable for cold weather, such as a block heater to keep the engine warm and ensure it starts in extremely cold temperatures. If you plan to drive on icy or snow-covered roads, check if Avis provides or allows the use of snow chains, which can provide added traction.
  • You can typically take an Avis rental car from Anchorage into Canada. Check if you need a visa or if there are any specific entry requirements for traveling from the United States to Canada. Be prepared to use Canadian currency, as you will need it for expenses like fuel, tolls, and purchases while in Canada. Confirm with Avis that you are allowed to return the rental car in Canada or another location if you don't plan to return it to the original rental office in Anchorage. Be aware that drop-off fees may apply for one-way rentals.

The pickup location was moved from downtown to near the airport, but we were not notified, causing us additional time and expense. They did allow us to not fill the gas tank, a savings of perhaps $30… The vehicle was unexpectedly a small pickup truck with a very uncomfortable rear seat. The windshield came with a quarter size starburst shaped crack, which was noticed by us, but not by Avis. Staff was friendly and professional.Reviewed 29 Jun 2025

Pick up and drop off were simple, quick and easy. It snowed while having the rental, which clearly didn’t have winter tires so I was sliding all over the road. Be careful when driving if your rental does not have the correct tires!Reviewed 10 Nov 2024

The rental process went very well. I had booked the car ‘way back’ in Nov 223. I liked the reminders as the usage week happened in mid-Jun 2024. Location in the airport also proved excellent.Reviewed 24 Jun 2024
