If you are thinking about coming up, the first thing to do before booking any flights or fishing trips is to see if you can find a rental car. It is bad! There is a shortage of cars due to micro chip shortages from covid. People are "airb&b'ing" their cars for $175/day out of ANC. It is kinda scary because it is going to hurt the whole tourism industry up here. Just letting y'all know. B

We are getting married up there in June.
Our rental vehicle for one week is close to $2k
25-30 guests, and everyone has had some degree of difficulty getting a car.

News here said many rental companies sold their inventory to reduce financial burdens and simple can’t get caught back up
And just because you have reservation doesn’t mean you will get a car. This summer is going to be a cluster for rental companies and the customers using them.
