Hi there!
Yes, Uber is available in Anchorage.
You can get a drop-off and pick-up at Anchorage airport.
👆 The cost of a 10 minute uber in Anchorage was $16.
I took an uber 2 times when I was in Anchorage in May 2023.
Both times I did not wait long for an uber.
The first time I got an uber past 10pm from the Anchorage train station.
That was after I took the train from Whittier to Anchorage!
The second time I got an uber to go to the Anchorage airport during the day.
Both times, uber in Anchorage was easy and normal.
So, in case you are unfamiliar with how to use uber, first you will need to download the app app on your phone.
Then, you will want to go through the set-up.
This importantly includes adding your credit card, because that is how you will pay for your uber ride.
You pay for your uber ride through your phone. No cash will be exchanged with the driver.
You will also want to have GPS turned on, as this will help the uber driver find you more easily.
Anything that helps make it easier on the uber driver, the better!
