From my trip that day I got late and reached close to midnight but they still had the car ready for me and got me quickly ready. The drop off next day was very easy and they dropped me off back at hotel.

Rental car return was also quick and efficient. Car had only a few thousand miles on it. Price was a little high, but I guess that's what you get when you travel to Anchorage over the 4th of July. Compared to many rental agencies we've recently encountered, this was a wonderful experience.

We picked it up at the Anchorage office, drove it up to Talkeetna, then down to Seward, and dropped it off in Whittier. Very convenient to have the one-way trip allowance.

A good overall experience and friendly customer service.

Alaska Auto Rental stood out with the best rate and the highest customer recommendations. It turned out we did a good choice. The pick-up /return process was simple and fast. The airport shuttle was very good and convenient. We got a brand new car, which was super nice. Most important, the company's service is excellent. They answered the phone quickly and friendly, sent emails with detailed instructions. The pick-up /drop office has 24-hour service with nice staff, and the shuttle to airport was ready when we drop off the car after 8:30pm .... overall it was a wonderful experience, much beyond our expectations. We had never rented a car over a phone-online only company before. We must say, it is a brilliant idea, and worked out great! Thanks Alaska Auto Rental! You made our trip truly happy! Don and Ying

Our experience with Alaska 4x4 Rentals was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Traveling…read morefrom Hawai'i with a large group of 17 people, we knew transportation--especially in winter conditions--would be critical. Safety was our top priority, and Robert exceeded every expectation in helping us plan the perfect solution. From the very first interaction, Robert's communication was professional, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful. He took the time to understand our group size, travel plans, and comfort level with snowy and icy driving conditions. Based on that, he recommended the ideal setup: a 15-passenger van paired with a beautiful GMC Yukon. This combination worked perfectly, allowing us to comfortably and safely transport our entire group--and all our gear--between Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and Alyeska Resort in Girdwood. One of the most impressive aspects of our experience was the exceptional value. Not only were the rates very competitive compared to the national rental companies, but the level of personalized service we received was on an entirely different level. Robert and the Alaska 4x4 team provided hands-on guidance, tailored recommendations, and genuine care throughout the process--something you simply don't get with larger, corporate rental brands. The combination of fair pricing and truly customized service made this an easy choice and a standout experience. The convenience factor was also top-notch. The pickup process right at the airport was seamless and efficient, making arrival day stress-free. Drop-off was just as smooth--we were able to return the vehicles quickly and easily, giving us plenty of time to relax at the terminal before our flight. What truly stood out was the peace of mind. For a group coming from Hawai'i and not accustomed to winter driving, having reliable AWD/4x4 vehicles and expert guidance made all the difference. I cannot recommend Alaska 4x4 Rentals enough--whether you need dependable winter-ready vehicles or solutions for transporting a large group. We will absolutely be using them again on future trips and give them our highest recommendation.

Second, Cheapwheels forces you to buy their extremely pricey "insurance," which is void if you drive off-road (a problem for a state with so many B&B's that require driving on unpaved roads), and it requires a $1 to $2,000 deductible! No other car rental company requires such an outrageous deductible if you buy their coverage, and every reputable place will have basic insurance built into the rental cost itself. Additionally, Mike and Cindy are extremely shady and unethical businesspeople. Not only did they not explain how minimal their required "insurance" coverage is despite its exorbitant cost, but they also charge a $100 non-refundable deposit, which is unheard of in the car rental industry. This 'deposit' scheme was not adequately explained to me, of course, and was nowhere in writing. My credit card company is now attempting to get the money back after I had to cancel the reservation (after I found out about their shady insurance policy), and it is money that they basically stole.

I told him that was not part of the agreement because I fulfilled my part of the agreement and I didn't owe him anything. he then proceeded to tell me how he didn't want my girlfriend in the car and on top of it when I asked him for my wallet and other person belongings he said everything was thrown in the trash at which point I found the trash can located on his locked and I literally took it with us but no wallet was found. He would not let me check in the vehicle until after he had went inside himself and took something out from the passenger side which was where my wallet was located. This guy was very rude and on more than one occasion continually attempted to talk down to me yelling and shouting over the phone anytime I try and ask him a question or give him an answer. I highly suggest to stay away from this car rental business because it's very shady very poor maintained cars and very very poor customer service. The car itself that it was rented to me was in a previous accident it's headlights barely worked the night that I got the car I had to fix the headlamps in order to barely see in front of the car. The battery ended up almost dying so I continually had to get a jump start. The front end was very very loose anytime you pressed on the brakes the wheels shook. Had to put antifreeze in the car ourselves. Stay away from Stan and a1 car rentals
