KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Juneau
- There’s so much to see in and around Juneau that if you want complete freedom and convenience, you should rent a car. Juneau car rentals are popular because most people come to the city to explore the surrounding nature. Public transport is available, but the hours of operation and time between pickups can be inconvenient, so check out car rentals in Juneau instead. In addition, you’ll be able to easily access attractions outside the city, like the Tongass National Forest and Roberts Peak, with a rental car.
- Car rentals in Juneau are easily accessible right from the Juneau International Airport (JNU). There are multiple car rental companies at the airport located on the first floor of the terminal near the check-in counters. There are also several car rental companies that will pick you up from the airport and take you to their office off-site.
- Driving in Juneau is fairly stress-free. There are just a couple of things to look out for. Juneau is famous for its wildlife, and it’s common for deer or other animals, such as porcupines, to wander near the roads. Be attentive so you can avoid mishaps with wildlife. Some Juneau natives tend to not use turn signals sometimes, so pay attention to your fellow drivers, as well.
- Alaska Route 7, or AK-7 to the locals, is the main road in Juneau, stretching through the whole city. It’s hard to get lost here, as the main road has offshoots and several highways, and Juneau is so scenic that you’ll always be able to pick out a landmark. Morning rush hour in Juneau is typically between 7am and 8am and evening rush hour is from 5pm to 6pm, so if you’re looking to get somewhere in a hurry, avoid driving during these times.
- Book your rental car in Juneau at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Juneau are around 4% cheaper than other car types, on average
