About Renting a Car at Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA)

Kenai Municipal Airport (ENA) is located on Cook Inlet on the Kenai Peninsula and has 2 car rental companies on-site. From the airport, it's about 3 km to Kenai's center and 45 km to Soldotna. With a rental car, you can easily explore the wildlife-rich Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

The Kenai Peninsula is known as Alaska's fishing paradise – Kenai River attracts sport fishermen from around the world seeking salmon. Sterling Highway (AK-1) runs through the area, connecting Kenai with Homer (about 145 km south) and Anchorage (about 230 km north). During summer, the roads are busy with RVs.

Rent a high-clearance vehicle if you plan trips on gravel roads in the refuge. Fill up in Kenai or Soldotna – fuel becomes more expensive the further out on the peninsula you drive. Plan a stop at Skilak Lake Road for bear and moose viewing.
