My ferry doesn't leave until 1:00am. Can I drop the car at the ferry terminal?

How far from the Alaska Marine Highway terminal is your townside location?

I'm only going to be in town for a few hours. Do I really need a car?

Is it possible to rent a car and take it to Prince of Wales island for the weekend?

We arrive via a cruise ship early in the morning. How long will it take you to pick us up and get us into a vehicle? What do I do with the car when I'm finished?

I'm arriving at 6:00am on a Alaska Marine Highway ferry. How do I get my vehicle that early?

You bet. Alaska Car Rental's staff will direct you as to where to park the car and what to do with the keys. Arrangements are made at time of pickup. There is no fee for this service.

Just three short blocks towards downtown. The walk is easy, but we do offer courtesy pickup and delivery. Inside the terminal Alaska Car Rental has provided a courtesy direct-line phone for your convenience. Use the phone to request a pickup. A van will arrive just minutes later. We also offer a free courtesy shuttle from hotels, airlines, and city limit locations.

It depends on what you need to do, or would like to do. Ketchikan is spread out. Saxman totem park is located 4 miles south of the cruise ship docks. Totem Bight totem park is located 10 miles north. Also north, several scenic viewpoints are nice attractions. You'll find good restaurants 15 miles north, and 6 miles south. Some attractions are located just blocks from the cruise ship docks. You have plenty of time to see much of the island if you do rent a car or van. We strongly recommend renting a vehicle. It allows you to see many beautiful attractions at your own pace. Our staff is happy to point you in the right direction upon check out.

Unfortunately Alaska Car Rental does not allow vehicle travel outside of the Ketchikan area. Prince of Wales Island is very big, with hundreds of miles of road. Many of these roads are very rough. The distance from Ketchikan, and the road conditions make it awfully difficult for our staff to handle emergency's.

Although located across town, Alaska Car Rental is just minutes away from the docks. Total time to pick you up and get you into a vehicle is less than 15 minutes. After you have finished sightseeing, either return the vehicle to our location, or make arrangements to leave the car near your departing ship. We'll then pick the vehicle up, and mail your final receipt home.

Alaska Car Rental will be happy to leave you a vehicle at the ferry terminal. We leave keys at the desk, marked with your name. A credit card number and a local contact is required to complete the procedure. Phone 1-800-662-0007 to handle this situation. There is no fee for this service.
