Wrangell (WRG) Airport Car Service

WRG (Wrangell Airport) sits on Wrangell Island in the City and Borough of Wrangell in Southeast Alaska, accessible via Bennett Street. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and operated as a state owned airport. Alaska Airlines provides scheduled commercial service to Juneau, Ketchikan, and Petersburg as part of the Alaska Airlines Southeast Alaska milk run. Wrangell is one of the oldest communities in Alaska, founded by Russian fur traders in 1834 as Redoubt Saint Dionysius. Our chauffeurs stage at the commercial vehicle lane outside the terminal.

WRG to downtown Wrangell runs about 5 to 10 minutes via Bennett Street southbound, and WRG to the Stikine River mouth (the major Southeast Alaska river system flowing from British Columbia into the Stikine Strait near Wrangell) runs about 10 to 15 minutes. We handle daily transfers to area lodging including the Stikine Inn and the Alaska Sourdough Lodge Wrangell.

Yes. The Anan Wildlife Observatory (the US Forest Service operated black bear and brown bear viewing site about 30 miles south of Wrangell, one of the few places in the world where both black bears and brown bears can be observed together feeding on the Anan Creek salmon run) is accessible only by boat or floatplane from Wrangell. We handle daily Anan Bear Observatory boat dock and floatplane operator transfers, plus permit holder logistics during the July through August peak bear viewing season.

Yes. The Wrangell fishing fleet and the major Southeast Alaska seafood processors including Trident Seafoods Wrangell operations generate consistent corporate demand through WRG during the salmon and halibut commercial fishing seasons. We hold standing accounts with seafood processor executive teams and the broader Southeast Alaska commercial fishing industry base.

Yes. Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park (the legendary Wrangell beach site featuring more than 40 ancient Tlingit petroglyphs carved into beach boulders, one of the densest concentrations of indigenous petroglyphs in North America) runs about 10 to 15 minutes from WRG via Evergreen Avenue. We handle daily Petroglyph Beach visitor transfers and the broader Wrangell historic district pickup logistics.

Yes. The Stikine River jet boat tour operators (running multi day jet boat tours up the Stikine River into British Columbia, with the Great Glacier Salmon Camp, Chief Shakes Hot Springs, and the Stikine River Delta wildlife viewing as signature destinations) all stage from the Wrangell Harbor about 5 to 10 minutes from WRG. We handle daily jet boat tour operator transfers timed to morning departures.

Yes. Wrangell Medical Center (the primary hospital serving Wrangell and the broader central Southeast Alaska region) runs about 5 to 10 minutes from WRG. We handle patient transfers, visiting physician transport, and family member airport pickups for extended hospital stays.

Yes. Wrangell hosts a corporate base historically anchored by the Southeast Alaska timber industry (with the Ketchikan Pulp Company Wrangell mill operating from 1973 to 1994) plus the modern Southeast Alaska fishing fleet, the broader Tlingit Native Corporation operations including Sealaska Corporation, and dozens of tourism operators. We hold standing accounts with Southeast Alaska business clients running WRG rotations.

Anan Wildlife Observatory bear viewing season runs from July 5 through August 25 each year, with the heaviest demand during late July and early August when the pink salmon and chum salmon runs draw the largest numbers of black bears and brown bears to Anan Creek. The US Forest Service requires advance permits for Anan Observatory access. We recommend six to eight weeks of lead time for peak Anan season SUV and Sprinter bookings.

Yes. Dispatch runs around the clock with a live human on the line, and we operate red eye Alaska Airlines arrivals, 5 am Stikine River jet boat tour operator early morning departures during peak summer season, and late night Wrangell Harbor pickup logistics during cruise ship visits. There is no surcharge for late night or early morning service on standard bookings.
