Can you drive to Alaska with a rental car? Question: So, I was thinking about driving to Alaska from South Carolina. I would rent a car, drive to Alaska, then fly back. Would rental cars allow this...crossing through Canada and dropping it off in AK?
Purpose: Just to say you've done it. Cost isn't an issue. I'd probably set aside about 10 days to meander my way there, spend a few days in Alaska, then fly back.
Answer:
Rental car companies generally allow drop offs in different cities/states. Sometimes there are even discounts if you are picking up from a location with too many and dropping off at a location with too few. Alaska has all the main rental places (Hertz, Avis, etc). Just call and ask. But don't expect to drop the car off at some tiny border town. You may need to drive into Alaska a few hundred miles. (easy to do).
