Trying to plan a trip, will need a vehicle from July 1-2 till the 7-8th…. Apparently they’re already booked?
Am I searching wrong or is there other options? Looking to go to Seward/Talkeetna/Wittier Only thing I found was a traverse for $4k a week and I’m not about that

Also take a look on Turo! It’s like AirBnB for vehicles. We just rented a Subaru Legacy for $500 for 9 days.

If you were going to stay in one general area get a uhaul pickup for $20 a day. But with all that driving the .99 a mile would add up quick.
At 4K it’s almost worth buying a $2,000 beater then selling it when you are done. |

I was driving near the airport, it looks like this DMV contractor is renting cars. Check them out, they're about a mile from the airport terminal.
https://alaskadmvservices.com/ Across the street is this place https://www.thrifty.com/loc/ll/us/ak/anchorage-spenard/3730-spenard-rd/ They may fly under the radar of Google searches and have inventory to rent. |

Don’t see anything on the DMV website, will have to call I guess on Monday. The other link just said error when I put the dates in so I assume they don’t have anything. |

So the Turo car I tried to reserve kicked back an email saying it’s now unavailable during those dates. Will try calling the DMV place. Raven sending an IM. |

Alaska 4x4 Rentals is located in the North Terminal here in Anchorage. Not sure about their inventory but people have been manning their office. Worth a shot.

I looked at the 4x4 rental place, really got my hopes up when they had a vehicle with a rooftop tent but all they had available was a trailer which doesn’t do much good if I don’t have a vehicle to tow it with

Not the OP, but thanks for the Turo recommendation, y'all! Going to need it in September.
