Our Story
A family business rooted in over 20 years of hard work, resilience, and a deep belief that every customer deserves to be treated like family.
Born from Experience. Built with Heart.
Our family has been building businesses since 2004 — restaurants, hair salons, a daycare, a preschool, a hotel. We know what it means to start from nothing and earn trust one customer at a time. In 2021, we brought that same spirit to Alaska and started a car rental company with a single vehicle. We slept in an RV. We rented a patch of land. We fixed our own cars. We did whatever it took.
Five years later, we have grown into one of Anchorage's most recognized local car rental companies — with our own repair shop and dealership. It was not a straight road. We came close to losing everything three times — through a partner's betrayal and through family tragedy. But we never changed who we are. Every customer who walks through our door gets treated like family. That has always been our way, and it always will be.
How We Got Here
The Family Business Begins
We started building businesses from scratch — restaurants, hair salons, a daycare, a preschool, a hotel. Over 20 years of learning what it means to serve people well.
One Car. One Dream. Alaska.
We moved to Alaska and launched our car rental with a single vehicle. Our office was an RV parked on a rented patch of land. We fixed our own cars. We answered every call ourselves.
Growing Through Adversity
We came close to losing everything three times — through a partner's betrayal and through family tragedy. Each time, we chose to keep going. Our customers kept us standing.
Anchorage's Local Car Rental
We now operate our own repair shop and dealership. We serve Whittier and Anchorage. We are one of the most recognized local car rental companies in Anchorage — and we are still the same family we always were.
Why We Started
The big rental chains weren't built for Alaska. We were.
No Return Ticket? No Problem.
Alaska Native travelers often don't have a return flight booked — because village flights don't work that way. Many are confirmed by phone the same day, not through an app. National chains turned these customers away. We never do.
No Credit Card? We Accept Debit.
In many Alaska Native villages, there is no bank. No credit history. No credit card. That should never mean no car. We accept debit cards — no credit card required, no judgment.
Flight Cancelled? We Work With You.
Village flights get cancelled by weather all the time. Customers who booked a car and couldn't make it shouldn't lose their money. We understand Alaska weather. We work with our customers — not against them.
Can't Pay Right Now? Rent Now, Pay Later.
Many Alaska Native customers come to Anchorage for medical appointments, to visit family, or to buy essentials. Summer rental prices are high. We introduced Rent Now Pay Later so that a tight week doesn't mean going without transportation.
Not Comfortable with Apps? Just Call Us.
Not everyone books online. Not everyone is comfortable with apps or websites. We are available 24/7 by phone and text — because that's how a lot of our customers prefer to communicate, and that's perfectly fine with us.
Last-Minute Confirmation? We Stay Flexible.
Village travel is unpredictable. Customers often can't confirm until the day of. We built our booking process around that reality — flexible, human, and always reachable.
Our Values
Community First
We give back to the communities we serve. Discounts for Alaska Native medical appointments, flexible payment options, and a team that picks up the phone at 2am.
Honest & Transparent
No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch. What you see is what you pay. We back that up with our Price Match Guarantee.
Proudly Local
Every dollar you spend with us stays in Alaska. We are not a franchise. We are your neighbors — and we take that seriously.
Always Available
Alaska does not run on a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. We are open 24/7 — call or text anytime, day or night.
Two Communities. One Family Business.
Whittier
Steps from the cruise terminal. We were the first local car rental in Whittier, giving cruise passengers a real way to explore Alaska on their own terms.
Anchorage
Serving Alaska Native community members with free first-time delivery, medical appointment discounts, debit card acceptance, and rent-now-pay-later options.
We live here too. Alaska is our home. Life here is already hard enough — we just want to make getting around a little easier, a little more affordable, and a little more human.
— Founders, Alaska Native Car Rental
We are not a franchise. We are not a national chain. We are a family — and when you rent with us, you are supporting a local Alaska business that puts people before profit.
