My compact SUV wasn't available so I was upgraded to a Volkswagen Atlas, which turned out to be just right for the trip where we ended up in a serious Alaskan winter storm. Service was super fast, efficient and friendly, even when we had to extend a day... and an automatic partial refund no questions asked when we actually ended up getting back early. It's actually hard to imagine what could have been better.

Loved Yaris. But battery in key fob died and I had to drive 140 miles to get one. Windshield wipers also died. Avis says they will reimburse me. Both are preventive maintenance item that should have been done. When I turned car in oil change 2990 miles overdue.

The check in process went smoothly. Check in was tricky. Budget asked for proof of insurance. We have never been asked that before and didn't bring our insurance card. HUGE suggestion: Please send documentation with the name Budget or Kayak on it. I was sent 2 emails from budget with a PDF to open. Since there was no name on the email that I recognized nor any information about what the attachment was about, why would I ever want to open it??? It was from datahost@icloud. PLEASE state who the email is from so this doesn't happen with other travelers.

I arrived Saturday around noon and there was only one person in line in front of me. I had a very friendly person at the counter. He did tell me they do not accept the 3rd party insurance I had purchased through Allianz but they took the name of my regular car insurance to use instead. This was fine for me but could be a problem for someone who doesn’t have car insurance back home. When I went to get my car instead of being a small Chevy spark hatchback I had reserved it was a ginormous SUV. I went back to the desk and they weren’t able to give me a small economy but they gave me a brand new 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid. I was in Alaska for the weekend but had rented a compact since it was what I could afford. It was great to have the RAV4. Upon return check out took about 1 minute and was easy. Overall, I had a decent experience and lucked out on the economy cars being overbooked :)
4.0 OkayMar 26 2022
The gentleman who helped us was great but the hassle with insurance turned into a big fiasco because my insurance didn’t show the exact word “comprehensive liability” which took an extra hour. Might book with another company next go around.
4.0 OkayDec 29 2021
Agent kept trying to upsell which was irritating. Studded tires in a winter location should be mandatory and not cost extra. Gave me a car with no windshield wiper fluid! So unsafe with the weather/road conditions. Had to buy some and put it in. When I returned the car, the agent seemed to not care at all. No apology or anything.
6.0 GoodNov 12 2021
I reserved a mid-sized SUV for $399, but when I arrived they didn’t have anything that size. Instead of upgrading me for the same price they told me that I had reserved a vehicle without AWD and that to rent that vehicle it would be $579. I think this is poor practice and that I was taken advantage of.
2.0 MediocreOct 26 2021
I reserved a full size truck. When I arrived at the counter all they had to offer me was a small truck or a minivan and told me they send all their trucks south for the winter. Then why was I allowed to reserve one?? I paid for insurance too on this rental but since thrifty false advertises I went next door to Avis. P.s. I paid for insurance on the thrifty rental through your site. I was charged for it even though I never rented that vehicle.
3.9 MediocreOct 10 2021
Pickup wasn’t easy. Probably more due to Anchorage set up than Thrifty. Drop off tried to charge me $60-something for 1/8 of a tank. I just filled up the tank at the gas station 25 feet away. Thankfully I had printed a receipt. How many people do they do this to? Will not rent from Thrifty again for this reason.

The location left me on hold for over 1.5 hours and I finally gave up. The car was very dirty inside. The windshield wipers were so worn out it was easier to see through the windshield without using them. The good news is that the check out and check in were quick and easy at ANC airport.
10.0 ExcellentAug 23 2021
Cost of rental was super high but we were in Alaska and there was a shortage of vehicles so we were glad to at least get a rental. Our vehicle was new and clean and awesome. And pickup/drop off was very convenient. So great experience overall
7.9 GoodAug 16 2021
I had called about check in time for rental car because my print out said 12n for pickup which was an error, since plane got in at 7p. I was told by the representative that wasn’t a problem, that the reservation would be held till 12m. When I got to the counter, I was told that the reservation was cancelled after 4hrs past time (12n), the exact thing I had called about. I did get a car, but at a higher rate. I am not pleased with this outcome.

The agent that we worked with at the desk was friendly and did upsell us from a Chevy Spark to an VW Atlas SUV and did let us know that there would be a $60 price difference per day. We accepted that and accepted his initial final charge. He did NOT tell us the check out process with the car upon leaving the airport and no one was working at the booth for check out when we were leaving and we already were running late because the process took longer than it should have. The tank was only half full when we got the car and the car did not have America USB chargers for our phones (only micro USB). Again, had we known this, we would have not taken that car but again...there was no one working the booth and we had to be to our next appointment. Upon returning the car, the woman checking us is was not friendly or accommodating. Then, when we asked her for a copy of the checkout report after she told us "everything looks good, you are free to go" she let us know that someone would email us a copy along with a receipt. Well, we have not received a check in report or an itemized receipt and we were charged way more than we were had initially been told. We were already being price gouged for a three day car rental and now we have additional charges that we were not expecting. The whole process added stress to our trip and now is causing a massive headache after the fact.

Dropping the car off the person checking the car in was very polite.When checking the car out the guy at the desk was extremely rude. He also said that the insurance you purchase through Kayak does not cover the car. I had to call and add insurance through my personal company before I could leave. I would also recommend putting winter tires on the vehicle when it’s being rented in Alaska during the winter.

Top tips for hiring a car at Anchorage Airport

  • You can access the city center from Anchorage Airport (ANC) using hotel shuttle, taxis, and rideshare services, but none provides an excellent travel experience as driving a rental car. You can plan your own driving schedule and make stops at the Alaska Native Heritage Center or Anchorage Museum at your pleasure – something you can't enjoy with public transport. Besides, rental cars provide top-notch safety and performance because they are subject to scheduled maintenance and have low mileage counts.
  • If you're concerned about how you can minimize your car rental at Anchorage Airport budget with your Anchorage Airport car rental, then we advise that you book your desired rental car in advance. If you're planning to travel during the summer, booking at least 8-12 months out is an excellent idea. Alternatively, you can also leverage off-airport rental agencies that operate a few minutes from the airport, and they're likely to grant you a discount if you choose to negotiate the charges.
  • Returning your car to the respective car rental at Anchorage Airport agency is as easy as the pickup process because you return it to the same location. Once you arrive at the airport, follow the "Rental Car Return" sign to the parking lot. If you return the car during the after-hours, park the car and place the completed contract and keys in the dropbox. Remember to take all your personal items from the car before proceeding to your departure terminal.
  • Traffic in Anchorage is fairly good, but you can expect bumper-to-bumper traffic during rush hour like any other urban center. If you're driving to the flight hub from the downtown area, it would be best to avoid Glenn Hwy because it experiences the heaviest traffic from 4 pm to 5 pm, worse at 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm. In the morning, the rush hour begins from 7.30 am to 9 am. To drive smoothly and uninterrupted, try to get out early; you'll avoid the heavy traffic on Seward, Parks, and Glenn Hwys.
  • Book your car hire at Anchorage Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
