Top tips for renting a car from Thrifty in Anchorage

  • Something to consider when you book Thrifty car rentals in Anchorage is the type of vehicle that will be right for your trip needs. Anchorage experiences cold winters with snow and ice, making an AWD or 4WD SUV an excellent choice for winter driving and outdoor adventures. If you're traveling with a small group or family and plan to explore both the city and nearby natural attractions, a compact or midsize SUV offers a good balance of space, fuel efficiency, and maneuverability.
  • One thing that you need to consider when you book Thrifty car rentals in Anchorage in the wintertime is that you ensure your rental car is equipped with winter tires, which provide better traction on snow and ice. If available, consider renting a 4WD or AWD vehicle. These vehicles offer better control on slippery roads. Check if Thrifty offers cold weather packages that include items like an engine block heater, heated seats, and a windshield defroster. These can be valuable in extreme cold.
  • You can typically drive a Thrifty car rental from Anchorage into Canada. Be prepared for the border crossing process. You will need to provide the required documents, such as your passport, rental agreement, and any other necessary paperwork, at the border. Be aware of any customs regulations. Confirm with Thrifty whether you are allowed to return the rental car to a different Thrifty location in Canada or if you must return it to the original rental location in Anchorage.
  • One reason to book Thrifty car rentals in Anchorage is the loyalty program called Blue Chip Rewards, which provides several perks and benefits for its members. Blue Chip members enjoy express rental service, which allows for quicker and more convenient pick-up and drop-off of rental vehicles. Members can often skip the rental counter and proceed directly to their rental car, streamlining the rental process. The Thrifty mobile app allows members to manage their rentals and access their accounts on the go, making the rental process more convenient.
  • Book your rental car from Thrifty in Anchorage at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price.
