KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kodiak

  • A car rental in Kodiak, Alaska, allows you to explore Kodiak Island at your own pace. Public transportation schedules may be limited, and having a car allows you to create your own itinerary, visit attractions on your own schedule, and have the flexibility to make spontaneous stops along the way. In addition, Kodiak Island is known for its rugged wilderness and scenic beauty. Public transportation may have limitations on reaching remote or less-visited areas. With a Kodiak car rental, you can easily access these remote locations, including Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park, and Fossil Beach.
  • Visitors arriving in Kodiak via air are likely to land at Kodiak Airport (ADQ), approximately 6 miles from the city center. Consider booking a car rental in Kodiak at this station if you want to leap into the adventure as soon as you land. The car rental facility at Kodiak Airport is located within the terminal building or in close proximity, making it easily accessible upon arrival or departure. Companies like Hertz, Avis, and Budget have a presence at the airport, offering a range Kodiak car rentals to suit various needs and budgets.
  • While major roads on Kodiak Island are generally well-maintained, it's important to note that some roads may be narrow, winding, or lack shoulders. Additionally, weather conditions can change rapidly, including rain, fog, and snow. It's advisable to drive all Kodiak car rentals cautiously, especially in inclement weather. Besides, Kodiak Island is known for its abundant wildlife, including bears and moose. Wildlife may occasionally wander onto the roads, especially in more rural areas. Be vigilant and watch for wildlife crossing signs, reduce your speed, and be prepared to stop your car rental in Kodiak if necessary.
  • Traffic congestion and traffic jams are not common occurrences in Kodiak, Alaska, due to the island's relatively low population and limited road infrastructure. However, during peak times, such as during the fishing season or when there are events or festivals, and many people are driving car rentals in Kodiak, you may experience some traffic congestion in certain areas when driving your Kodiak car rental. Still, on weekdays, traffic may be slightly increased as people commute to and from school and work. Usually, rush hours occur between 7:30 am and 9:00 am and from 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm.
  • Book your car hire in Kodiak at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Car was clean, fully gassed. Attendant took pictures of the car for my records which was a great surprise as this was a way that would show if I had caused any of the damage. Drop off was easy.
