Plan to rent a car in Anchorage on June 12 to drive down to the Kenai Peninsula for a few days. Any suggestions re car rental agencies?

Going ourselves June 2,still checking, but the lowest I have found so far is Alamo.

Absolutely, positively try Priceline for Anchorage. Use www.biddingfortravel.com for guidelines. We save around 40-60% on car rentals in Anchorage.

Myself, I wouldn't lock into Priceline until a month or so out. But I have not see them accept rates as low as I have got direct. Like $129+++/week??? I rented from Alamo. But also look at Thrifty, Payless, Dollar, and independents (which I have had less than $25/day rates) All are listed www.anchorage.net Book NOW and keep checking-- a lot of price changes with car rentals and easy to cancel and rebook.

I've never found rates for car rentals anywhere in Alaska to be as cheap the rates that BudgetQueen suggests. We rented in July and the best we found anywhere in Anchorage was about $45/day for a full size car.

Sidepockets again. I failed to mention I checked on a full size car on 10 different places, all said save 40-75%, such as Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity and others. All have the same price as Alamo homepage, $490 total cost, ($180.50 @week before add ons) for 2 weeks. Didn't like the rules on Priceline, such as not knowing if car was on airport or somewhere else. I would like any info you can provide.

You are too early for the cheap rates. Keep checking back. But book a back up. I have INDEED gotten the rates I mention. But always with a compact car rental- sometimes upgraded to a midsized. No larger needed for 2 people and better on gas. $180/week is not bad for a full size. A mentioned keep checking- the direct sites offer specials all the time. Be sure to add about 25% with taxes from the airport- less with a non airport rental.
