Car rental in Kodiak

Situated in the Gulf of Alaska, Kodiak is the main city of Kodiak Island - the second-largest island in the United States. It has a population of approximately 6,000 residents, offering a quite getaway, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. And with a rental car in tow, you're free to see all it has to offer.

Getting There and Around

Most visitors arrive via the Kodiak Benny Benson State Airport or by ferry. Once you're there, getting around is a breeze with a rental car, as the city is compact and easy to navigate. However, some areas outside the city may have tricky terrain, so a 4X4 would be a good choice.

A Climate Unlike Home

Kodiak has a subpolar oceanic climate, a stark contrast to the weather you'd encounter back in Britain. Expect cool summers and mild winters, with an even distribution of rainfall throughout the year.

Enjoying a Drive in Kodiak

Driving in Kodiak can be an experience in and of itself, with scenic routes along its coastlines offering epic views. However, bear in mind that U.S. traffic rules differ from the UK. Cars drive on the right-hand side of the road, and unless stated otherwise, the speed limit is typically 55 mph on highways and 20 mph in residential areas.

Experience the Attraction

Kodiak is a slice of paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge is a must-visit, home to several species of bears, deer, and birds. If you are more of a culture enthusiast, The Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository are worth visiting to learn about the native culture.

Your Wallet on Kodiak

The currency of use in Alaska is the U.S. dollar, unlike the pound sterling used back in Britain. Most establishments in Kodiak accept credit and debit cards, but it won't hurt to have some cash on hand just in case.

Car Parking

Most hotels in Kodiak provide car parking and generally, parking isn't a significant concern in the city. However, ensure to follow posted parking signs to avoid tickets and fines.
