Sailkeywest Posted October 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2009 When I try to look up car rental in Skagway for September, I am coming up with "closed for the season" for Avis car rental. Does anyone have any other ideas for where I can rent a car for the day in September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted October 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Unless you're trying for a date after September 20th or so, they are open but haven't re-booted the database for next year. Give it a couple of weeks - for September rentals, there's no hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailkeywest Posted October 15, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I am trying for September 21, just my luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted October 16, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Their closing date varies a bit from year to year - phone them direct next summer if you still want to rent a car. You'll have no problem getting a car either from Avis or Sourdough, as most people don't even get off the ship on the last sailings (you can see photos from the final day of this past season at http://explorenorth.com/wordpress/?p=383 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailkeywest Posted October 16, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The photos look absolutely gorgeous to me :) We don't like crowds and I haven't seen fall since I was a child. The entire place could be completely empty and we would love it! But how can I "have no problem" getting a car if the Avis site is saying they are "closed for the season" on that date? Thank you for taking the time to reply :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted October 16, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2009 ...how can I "have no problem" getting a car if the Avis site is saying they are "closed for the season" on that date? Independent operator Sourdough is a reasonable option if Avis is closed - http://www.geocities.com/sourdoughcarrentals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted October 16, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The "date" for closing next Sept. at this time is 9/16. It may be open through the weekend, but probably not much later. These cars go back to Anchorage. The only other option is Sourdough, which with my past, problems with, I won't rent from them. But in your timeframe, your only option, probably.

Yukon Posted October 16, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The "date" for closing next Sept. at this time is 9/16. That's what they said this year too, but they were open right to the final day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
