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.
  • Medium hire cars in Ketchikan are around 25% cheaper than other car types, on average
