About

It was wanderlust that brought us here.

Yearning for adventure, we closed our businesses in Mississippi and sold everything to scratch an itch for travel and new experiences. We came to Alaska on a whim.

Someone offered an opportunity to sell jewelry in Skagway, so we tried that. We didn’t fall in love with the jewelry business, but we fell head over heels for Skagway, our new forever home.

First we opened a coffee shop – Bites on Broadway – and then we decided to help others explore the place we love. Affordable Car Rental was born and we’ve never looked back.

Great experience with this company. Very pleasant owner/staff and easy to make rental arrangements. Car was ready upon arrival and return was so simple. They made us feel like friends we’ve had forever. I certainly recommend renting from them…I will again.

Rented a car from these guys on 8/3/22. It was probably the best car rental experience I've ever had. I made a reservation about a month in advance and when I arrived, they were so nice and laid back. Car was waiting for me with my name on it upon our arrival. By far the best priced car rental in Skagway.

I rented a car here two years ago (June 2019) and rented a three-row car. The disadvantage is that some of the ground in the car is dirty, and others are okay.
