KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Seward

  • Consider booking car rentals in Seward for a chance to enjoy greater flexibility in moving around the city. Seward is a town with a lot of interesting things to see. Although the city has several transport options, using rented cars is the most convenient option.  Using public transit will restrict how far you can travel because they only run along certain routes. One of the places you cannot afford to miss visiting when you are in Seward is Kenai Fjords National Park. With your car from any of the Seward car rentals, you can conveniently drive to the park with your packed lunch and other personal belongings.
  • Enjoy self-drive from Seward Airport to the city center or any other destination of your choosing. If you are new in the town and you want to explore it upon landing at the airport, renting a car here is a good thing to do. There are quite a number of car rental agencies that are available in and around Seward Airport. This allows for one to privately tour the town. Examples of these car rental agencies include Hertz car rental - which is close to the airport - and Continental Auto Group.
  • Seward offers one of the best experiences for driving. One of the characteristics that distinguish Seward drivers from other drivers is their strict attention to traffic laws, notably their lane discipline. So long as you follow all relevant traffic laws, you won't run into any issues with either traffic enforcement or other motorists. However, when you are using your rental automobile in the city center, you need to be cautious of pedestrians who frequently cross the street carelessly.
  • When there is a significant disruption in the flow of traffic, renting car rentals in Seward becomes less convenient. The Seward & Kenai Fjords Fairs & Festivals, which take place every year in the city, will make driving your car in Seward significantly more challenging. Every year during the second week of July, this festival draws a sizable crowd from all over, which causes heavy traffic to accumulate on the majority of the city's routes.
  • Book your car hire in Seward at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Mischarged us. Gave us a car with a half tank of gas. Told us just to bring it back st half. We filled it up and only used a water after st most. Told rep at drop off. (I had pictures documenting mileage and gas levels. But they still charged $50 for gas. And then when I went to the counter and wait in line for over 30 mins they said they could not correct it

Cons:

They would only accept credit cards, which is ridiculous given that a person might not even have available credit on a credit card. I do not use credit cards, living within my means. I went to Budget.

The car was filthy, windshield wipers were completely shot, and the tires were so warn & tattered, it sounded as if they were going to blow at any moment. The car itself had TERRIBLE gas mileage. For a two wheel front drive Kia “SUV”, it was worse than my personal Toyota 4Runner for how many times I had to fill it up.

The suv was a nice one but it had broken windshield wipers on both sides. It’s warm out and the entire drive I had to stare through the steering wheel. Wish I could have seen Soldotna haha
