Let Alaska Tour & Travel be your one-stop source for information and reservations for Alaska car rentals, van rentals, and Alaska self-drive vacation packages.

Many people choose to rent a car when they travel through Alaska. Rental cars can add flexibility to your Alaska vacation, and can often result in a cost savings over other modes of travel, particularly for groups of three to five travelers. Most travelers pick up their cars at or near the Anchorage airport. Anchorage is Alaska's main airline hub, and has the widest selection of rental car choices as well. We offer cars for pick up near the Anchorage airport in all major categories including compact, mid size, full size, 5 passenger SUV and mini vans. See our Anchorage Transportation page for more information.

The major highways between Seward, Anchorage, Denali Park and Fairbanks are all paved and easily traveled in the summer by any type of vehicle, with maximum speed limits ranging from 55 to 65 mph. Highways are mostly paved with one lane of travel in each direction. Less traveled roads in Alaska are generally in good shape. Fuel typically is more expensive the further away from you get from Anchorage, with prices last summer ranging from $2.50 to $3.25 per gallon. If you plan to do a lot of driving in Alaska, the Alaska Milepost guidebook will be an invaluable resource for planning your Alaska vacation and to have with you as you travel Alaska.
