Thrifty Car Rental has been serving Anchorage and the surrounding communities for over 32 years. They offer two locations, one at the airport and their original location in midtown, at Spenard Road and Minnesota Drive.

Thrifty offers free pickups from area hotels, bed and breakfasts, and the railroad depot. Most of their cars are just 6-12 months old-some of the newest available rentals in town, even when compared with much larger rental companies-and they offer unlimited mileage.
