Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Fairbanks

  • Driving Fairbanks van rentals is a wonderful way to see this renowned city in the interior of Alaska. If you are traveling with your family, you can all ride in comfort as you drive around the city visiting sites such as the Museum of the North, Pioneer Park, and the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. If you are in Fairbanks with friends to enjoy outdoor adventures, there will be room for all of you and your outdoor recreation gear, camping supplies, and backpacks. Fairbanks van rentals will allow you to enjoy your Fairbanks visit to its fullest.
  • For those considering driving Fairbanks van rentals across the border into Canada, keep in mind that you will have to discuss this with the car rental agency and obtain their permission first. If they allow this, they must give you a no-cost Canadian non-residents card, which is proof of insurance that you need to show border officials before you can enter Canada. At the border, you will have to show your valid U.S. driver's license, your passport, and your rental car agreement.
  • You will notice on Fairbanks van rentals that there is a plug near the hood. Cars in Fairbanks, including Fairbanks van rentals, come equipped with an electric battery blanket and heating pads under the transmission and oil pan to keep them from freezing up in cold temperatures. When it drops to 20° F or below, plug in your car. It is most likely that the hotel where you are staying will have head bolt outlet posts. Before leaving the rental agency lot, ask if the car rental agency has extension cords for plugging in your car.
  • If you are driving Fairbanks van rentals in the ice or snow, remember to slow down and leave more space between you and the other vehicles on the road to avoid accidents on the slick roads. Moreover, beware of intersections. The roads become much more slippery here, so drive with extreme caution. Double check in all directions before proceeding at a green light at an intersection because in Fairbanks, like everywhere else, people will try to speed through a yellow light, which can be disastrous on slippery roads.
  • 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Fairbanks for $330 or less
  • Book your people carrier hire in Fairbanks at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Fairbanks

  • What is the minimum age for securing Fairbanks van rentals?

    In Fairbanks, and throughout Alaska, you need to be at least 21 years old in order to secure Fairbanks van rentals. If you are younger than 25, many car rental agencies will add a daily fee due to your age. If you are under 25 and interested in Fairbanks van rentals, it is worth your while to investigate Fairbanks car rental agencies to compare the fees that will be assessed.

  • Are Fairbanks van rentals available at the airport?

    There are a number of on-site car rental locations at the Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) that include Fairbanks van rentals in their fleets. When you arrive at FAI, you can find the car rental counters in the terminal near the baggage claim carousels, and the vehicles are in the parking lot just across the street. Some rental car agencies you can choose include Avis, Alamo, Dollar, Budget, National, Enterprise, Thrifty, Hertz, and Easirent.

  • What documents are necessary for securing Fairbanks van rentals?

    When you arrive at the Fairbanks agency to collect your SUV rental, make sure you have your reservation or confirmation number. You will also have to have a current driver's license, and any additional drivers will need to show a valid license as well. You will usually need a fairly major credit card, though some agencies may accept a debit card. If you want to forgo car rental agency insurance, you should bring a copy of the insurance policy you intend to use to cover the SUV.

Pros:

Pick up and drop off were quick and convenient. It was a quick walk to the lot.

Cons:

We liked the Honda CRV but the gas tank was small (12 gallons) for the amount of driving we did. We were stopping almost daily to fill up and in Alaska that requires some planning.

We pick up the car 1 hour early and I ask the guy at the counter is it ok if we take it now. He said yes, and then charged me an extra full day with telling me it would cost another full days rate to take it early. So be careful when doing business with Avis in Fairbanks! They are not very honest so use caution and pay attention to the fine prints.

Did not receive the class of car I reserved, and the vehicle was in poor shape. Budget refused to make things right, once again. I still had to pay for an SUV even though I was downgraded to a smaller vehicle.

C, July 2021

KAYAK
I reserved a mid-size SUV but when I arrived at the pickup counter, only a compact car was available. Budget refused to adjust the price accordingly, and I was still charged for the SUV. The car I received was dirty, contained garbage (including a used mask!) from the previous user, and had a warning light / notification that I had to look at all week. The tires were also pretty worn out which made driving in the rain precarious. This will be my last time renting with Budget, because I always end up having an issue with my rental, and they are never willing to make things right.

Said they Didn’t have a truck for me when I got to the counter even though I had booked it a week before. made other arrangements went back to cancel my booking and the girl who told me there was no trucks was holding 3 sets of truck keys as told to her by the other agent next to her and then she tried to lie about it to me. Worst experience ever. Fairbanks agent is a liar and tried to get her other agents to lie with her.

Pros:

The people in Fairbanks were wonderful! The car we rented was not at the airport, so we asked the airport Enterprise if there was a shuttle. The young man at the airport went above and beyond. He called the other station and had someone come pick us up. He then came out and checked on us twice to see if we had been picked up. Then Jesse picked us up and was very friendly. There were a shortage of cars so he gave us an upgrade for free. Everyone we dealt with was so pleasant and accommodating. The young lady in Anchorage when we turned in the car at the airport was also very cheerful and kind.

Cons:

We really had a great experience. Nothing negative to say at all.

Nothing. I suppose if I had encountered a problem, that would have put Enterprise to the test, seeing how they handled it.

Pros:

The lady at the counter was friendly and polite. And very apologetic.

Cons:

My reservation did not work. Hertz did not have any cars available even though Kayak decided they would book my reservation anyway and make me think I had a car. I had planned for 22/day which was the rate I was given. Instead I was forced to use the only car agency that had a car available and it cost me 5x as much. $110. I will never use kayak again and I will strongly recommend others use a different site to compare rates or book. Since kayak is useless if it can’t actually book my reservation properly. It’s -20F in Alaska , that’s where I am. And I was forced to overpay for a rental, in any other situation I would have walked but sadly my hands were tied in this situation. 0/5 very poor quality site and poor quality service. I recommend people do not use this site any chance I can now. Which is often since I work in Customer Service and Tourism.
