Anchorage Rent-A-Car.

• Position: Alaska - Company Profile

Traveling around Anchorage and Alaska is easy for out-of-state visitors and Bush residents who rely on the services of Anchorage Rent-A-Car.

"We offer our clients reasonable rates and a fleet of top-quality vehicles," says Tony Stanley, who co-owns the company along with his wife Emelia. "And we treat them with the gracious hospitality and friendly service they deserve."

As an Alaska-owned company, Anchorage Rent-A-Car is sensitive to the needs of the state's visitors. Residents of Dutch Harbor since 1977, Tony and Emelia bought a local business, Aleutian Truck Rental, in 1985.

Two years ago, the Stanleys made the unusual move of bringing business from the Bush to Alaska's largest city by purchasing Anchorage Rent-A-Car. To their new Anchorage business, the Stanleys brought their sound rules for business success: a sensitivity to Bush residents and a committed management team.

"Coming from the Bush ourselves, we are comfortable dealing with the unique needs of Bush travelers by providing convenient services like cash deposits," Tony says.

Bringing the management team from Dutch Harbor is also beneficial for Anchorage Rent-A-Car's customers. "Our management team runs like a small family. Everybody here is really outgoing and works hard to make sure that customers are our top priority," Tony says.
