KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ketchikan

  • Visiting Ketchikan is an exciting experience because you finally gain the privilege to adventure its top attractions. However, that excitement can suddenly come to a haul if you don't have a convenient means to get to these places. Ketchikan has several top attractions, including Deer Mountain Trail, Rotary Beach, The Rock, and Chief Johnson Totem Pole. Ketchikan car rentals offer the most convenient and reliable way to get to these places with little hassle. For instance, Totem Bright State Historical Park is 9.8 miles from the city center. If you want to sightsee, you can get there conveniently via car.
  • If you're flying into Ketchikan, you'll land at Ketchikan International Airport (KTN), 4 miles from the city center. There are multiple car rental agencies at the KTN, so take advantage and get your car from your preferred company. All car rental companies are within the terminal and a short walk to the car lot. The rental companies include Enterprise, Easirent, E-Z Rent-A-Car, Budget, and National. Booking your Ketchikan car rentals online with KAYAK saves you the hassle of queueing at the rental counters.
  • When driving your car rental in Ketchikan, you'll likely encounter jaywalkers because pedestrians crossing the road when it's unsafe is a common practice. Therefore, be keen to avoid getting into an accident. Another possible obstacle when driving your Ketchikan car rentals is bikers who often disobey traffic light rules or hoot immediately after the traffic light signals change. Also, slow down when approaching build-up areas and roundabouts.
  • Like other cities in Alaska, Ketchikan experiences significant traffic delays worth escaping. The typical weekdays rush hours begin from 7:30 am to 9 am. The evening rush hours start from 4 pm to 6 pm. Avoid being on the road during these hours because the dense traffic can cause concerning delays. Plan your routes well and avoid congested areas like commuter zones as they are brimming with cars and human traffic. Avoid narrow streets during rush hours, such as D-1 Loop Road, Alderwood Street, and Bear Berry Lane N.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Ketchikan are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Ketchikan?

    Ketchikan is known for its narrow roads. Although the roads are well established, most roads are narrow, making it ideal for small cars. The city's narrow roads account for dense traffic in the city. Therefore, small vehicles will help you maneuver the busy narrow streets when considering getting car rentals in Ketchikan. So, look for a compact. You will beat the traffic by navigating through the narrow streets that are inaccessible by large cars. Again, a compact car is a perfect option if you need to park because you’ll need a small space.

  • What is the speed limit in Ketchikan?

    When driving your car rentals in Ketchikan, be sure to adhere to the varying speed limits. The speed limit in Ketchikan when driving in residential zones is 25 mph, while it is 20 mph when driving around business areas. In Ketchikan, you should drive at 15 mph in an alley and 55 mph on other roads, especially highways. Certain areas have posted speed limits, so pay attention to them because Alaska is strict with the speed limit policy.

  • Where are the best places to park in Ketchikan?

    Finding a parking lot shouldn't be challenging, especially in downtown Ketchikan. The benefit of parking at downtown Ketchikan is that you have a wide selection of parking options, access to the freeway, and are within close proximity to hotels and restaurants. Parking permits are purchased at the Offices Services Division, 334 Front Street. The average parking fee here is around $5 per day. Look for the parking lot at 4871 N Tongass Rd Parking. Generally, it costs around $1 per hour to park your car rentals in Ketchikan.
