We rented a F150. Good for traveling out of the city.

You have to be careful of flying rocks/cracked windshields, depending on what roads you plan to be on. You might want to consider extra coverage for that.

Verified travelerMar 2024

The Yukon requires that lights are on all the time. The roads are OK even during winter and not difficult to navigate

Verified travelerNov 2023

Driving in Whitehorse during winter is easy as long as you drive slow and follow the common sense of the road. Driving Force is an excellent rental company.

Verified travelerOct 2023

There are a few parking meters downtown but parking is free after 5:30pm. Easy downtown area to walk. Restaurants everywhere.

Verified travelerSep 2023

Must yield to pedestrians crossing the street on non-stoplight intersections. For an American like me, the speed limit may seem slightly slow, but that's OK.

Car rentals in Whitehorse are the ideal way to travel around this rural city in Yukon, Canada. In Whitehorse car rentals, you can get through town from the McBride Museum of Yukon History to the Starbucks to the SS Klondike Steamboat. In Whitehorse car rentals, you can enjoy the surrounding nature including Marsh Lake, Teslan Lake, and Mount Lorne, and in 2 hours, you can drive into Alaska, to the south of Whitehorse.
Since the Eric Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport (YXY) is in the heart of Whitehorse, situated just off the Alaska Highway, it makes an ideal location for securing car rentals in Whitehorse. Agencies are easily located in the arrivals area of this small, single-terminal airport. The rental cars are parked in the parking lot just outside the terminal. This is where you will pick up and return the rental vehicles.
Driving to, through, around, and outside of Whitehorse, the capital city of Yukon, Canada, can be adventurous, to say the least. The two main roads you will be using are the Klondike Highway, which is open the whole year round, paved and well-maintained, and the Alaska Highway, which tends to be less well-maintained and more barren and lonely than the Klondike Highway. Driving within the town of Whitehorse itself is simple and stress-free since the town is laid out as a nice, neat grid.
It snows in Whitehorse from October to April. Therefore, the biggest problems you can encounter while driving car rentals in Whitehorse is the intense winter weather. Make sure that when you pick up your rental car, you have in the vehicle a snow brush, an ice scraper, and an emergency roadside kit. In the warmer months, encountering animals on the road can be a big problem. Those driving car rentals in Whitehorse need to be cautious at all times of wildlife in the road. Running into some of the massive mammals that live in Yukon could do severe damage to you and your rental car.

Excellent! Staff at airport (Pauli) was efficient and helpful. Car was spotless. We had to put down an extra $200 as a retainer in case we didn't fuel up car or we put too many miles on it. I expect to get that $200 back. I'll check my credit card statement on a day or two. I would recommend Driving Force.

The pickup went smoothly and didn't take long. The problem with the car (dirt stuck to the wheels so that the car no longer drove well - even when it was picked up) was remedied well and the employees were very friendly. The car itself, even though it was only a year old, was already very dilapidated. We have never had a car in such poor external condition anywhere before. It had a huge crack in the windshield and dozens of scratches and dents, but it was fully drivable. Due to the road conditions in Whitehorse, such seem Appearances probably don't seem to be an obstacle to renting.

When signing up for the Budget rental through Kayak, we were not properly informed of the additional fees that would incur through driving on the Dempster highway through the Kayak menu nor through the customer service desk for budget. Were hit with an unexpected $1500 fee which more than doubled our trip costs.

My experience was overall excellent. The service was professional, quick & friendly. Drop off took a bit longer than pick up as only 1 employee was at the station & it was busy. The vehicle I got exceeded my expectations. It was clean & fuel efficient.

Hit with extra fees upon pick up even though rental was already fully paid for. Upon drop off more fees again. Nothing related to damage or late fees, purely extra fees and taxes. Ended up being twice the cost of what I originally paid for in full.
