How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alaska?
I’m taking a trip with my college friends to Alaska and we’re not sure what to expect. Can you give us some information on how renting a car works in that state? How old do you have to be?

high risk
. In addition to bringing payment, you’ll need to present proof of a valid driver’s license or other valid photo identification if you’re coming from outside the states. You should check with the agency in advance what else you may need to prepare, such as a printed reservation voucher and
