KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kenai

  • Driving car rentals in Kenai is a great way to see the city, where public transportation is largely unavailable. Kenai car rentals give you the freedom to explore the rich history of this coastal town and enjoy Alaskan adventures. On your own schedule, you can visit sites such as the Russian Orthodox Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Church, which was built in the 1890s. You can also see wildlife exhibits at the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center or see wildlife in the wild in and around Kenai. In car rentals in Kenai, you have the freedom to go beyond city limits to explore the Alaskan wilds and the Kenai Fjords National Park to the southeast.
  • Located in the northwest corner of the small city of Kenai, the Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA) is the ideal location for securing car rentals in Kenai. In this small but convenient airport, you can easily find the car rental agency desks in the arrivals area near the baggage claim carousels. Simply walk outside the terminal to the airport parking lot where the rental cars are parked. This is also where people should return their Kenai car rentals.
  • The roads in Kenai, Alaska tend to be wide and well-maintained. In the city, most of the roads are paved, but even when you find dirt or gravel roads, such as the one outside Veronica's Old Town Cafe, it is well maintained and easily drivable. Kenai is renowned as a place for Alaskan adventure, including watching all the various wildlife.

We had a problem with our vehicle and were told to come in and quickly swap it out with an identical vehicle that they were holding for us. The replacement vehicle wasn’t available when we arrived and the staff were unaware of the situation. The exchange was not quick as had been claimed. We were satisfied until this moment.
10 travellers who hired a car in Kenai gave the car agency they used an average rating of 4,7
