I recently took my first trip to Alaska, and renting an 25' RV from Shawn made it unforgettable…read more Shawn was fantastic--very communicative and full of great travel tips. He answered all our questions promptly throughout the trip. The RV wasn't brand new but was in great shape and easy to drive. Everything worked perfectly. Shawn gave us everything we could possibly need, from foldable chairs, bedding, towels, cooking utensils, to bug spray, sunscreen, and even a rice cooker. These are things I would have had to pay extra for with big rental companies. As a first-time RV driver, I found it surprisingly easy to handle. I highly recommend renting from Shawn for anyone considering an RV trip in Alaska.

Great company! It's a little mom and pop shop run by a few locals. I am currently sitting in one of…read moretheir RVs for the second year in a row. We were so jazzed with them last year that we needed to come back and use their service again. When I tell you they go above and beyond- I mean it. Such a personal touch for each customer. They're downright honest people who run the company. So they threw in the grill, bear mace, chairs, fishing rods and reels and more for us. It's so friendly and thoughtful. Very thorough in explaining the RV, very trusting and patient. The RV itself is immaculate and clean. Brought to us in perfect condition. Spacious, accommodating and a fair value. Highly recommend.

The bathroom vent would not latch and the banging kept us awake . The table was loose and unstable. We rented a 26 foot we got a 21 foot. It had no smoke detector. The fridge was rusty dirty and stinky . The whole motor home was stinky smelling . Would not recommend renting from this company . No stars !

I love to camp. But frankly, RV "camping" is a concept I don't quite grasp. However, something…read moreweird is going on with the bears this year (I'm sure it's related to the weird weather and food scarcity), so my honey decided to surprise me with a last minute RV rental. I was really shocked he was able to find a same day available RV to rent in June, since RV's reservations are made MONTHS in advance in the summer in Anchorage. He scoured the internet and found this teeny mom n pop company listed on Outdoorsy.co (not .com) that had an RV immediately available. He was able to make his reservation and payment on line and the RV was ready for pickup a few hours later. We showed up to pick up the RV at 6pm and I have to say, the place looked sketchy. There's no signs, not office and the lot is way in the back down a bumpy dirt road. But, everything actually turned out to be fine. The fleet is a little older, but the owner Tom is a mechanic and keeps everything running fine. It's quite a bit cheaper than some of the other places in town with newer fleets. We're hardcore Alaskans that don't believe in glamping; we just wanted hard sided protection from wildlife. Tom's and his helper spent a long time with us giving us the RV 101 orientation, which was awesome. The RV had everything we needed, although I do wish it had USB chargers. Note to self, bring a cell charger that plugs into the cig lighter. But everything was a-ok. We had all the kitchen doodads we needed, and since we mentioned Yelp we got free linens. Insurance was included. Tom made us very safe and let us know if we had any issues or questions we could call or text day or night. He also said he'd provide roadside assistance should we need it. I really appreciated the personalized service. If you like supporting the little guy, I highly recommend giving Alaska Family Motorhomes a shot! We'll definitely rent from them again if the need arises.

Overall experience for the RV rental is pretty good. Kate provided very patient help. Everything…read morewent well overall our RV trip! My concern raised up after our trip. We returned the RV on 7/6/2025, with the door lock handle broke. But today it's 10/14/25, I cannot get my insurance deposit back so far! Kate took my call a couple of times and told me she ordered the door handle part for replacement and the deposit return process takes long etc. I did not push her too much, however, it seems not reasonable after 3 months they still hold my deposit. and she reject to reply my message and not pick up my call any more. It's not the right way to do the business. I believe every rental should have the same $1000 insurance deposit, what's your experience to get back your deposit return?

Kate went way above and beyond anything we expected. Over our 8-day RV adventure, she didn't just…read morerent us gear -- she became a huge part of what made the trip so special. She hooked us up with free firewood, fishing poles, and even gave us rides to and from the airport. Kate was generous, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best experience possible. It's rare to come across someone who treats you like family instead of just another customer. Because of her, our trip was smoother, cheaper, and just a lot more fun. We'll 100% be booking with her again -- and recommending her to anyone heading to Alaska.

We spent some time looking for affordable RV/car rental for our two week honeymoon in Alaska…read more After seeing how reasonable the prices were, we decided to go with Mugsy's RV rentals. Warren, the owner, was prompt and professional from the start. He was accommodating and very easy to work with. He provided airport pickup and the vehicle was superb. On top of all that, I got the feeling that he genuinely wanted to provide a great Alaskan experience. With Mugsy's RV you get to support a local business, get great service and save money. Plus Warren's dog Mugsy is really cute. I would strongly recommend this business!

Can't say enough good things about our experience with Alaska Overlander. For two weeks we rented…read moreNanook (4runner) travelled all over Alaska and it was great. This was a our first time sleeping in a rooftop tent and at first I hated it - After three days I LOVED it! So much so that now we're shopping for a RTT of our own. Both the hubby and I have been off-roading in our 1996 Landcruiser so we are very experienced drivers. When we rented Nanook the caster/alignment was off which made driving straight a bit of a challenge. Craig did note the issue as he was driving over to pick us up. We made sure to remind Craig about the issue when we returned Nanook. When you rent these rigs just understand that you're renting the bare minimum when it comes to kitchen setup. No seasonings except salt and pepper, no hot pads, etc. Our rig did not include measuring cups and we were mostly cooking freeze dried meals so we stopped at Target and bought some. When we returned the rig, we left the cups so hopefully the next person who rents Nanook will have measuring cups. Also Nanook's cook set is stainless steel so when you cook eggs in the morning - Good Luck and cleaning... Would have much preferred that the cook set was non-stick but it is what it is. Thankfully we are not big coffee drinkers but the coffee pot they include is too small the large burners on the stove. So we used the pots to boil water for tea and hot coco. Overall renting from Alaska Overlander was an incredible experience and we already want to come back and rent with them again to explore more of Alaska. Alaska Overland is an excellent option when you either can't take enough time off of work to drive your own truck up to Alaska OR if you don't have an off-road truck at all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Outside of food, beverages and spices the Denali came with everything we needed for an upgraded off road camping adventure. The tent was comfortable and easy to set up along with the awning and it was great having a fridge with its own dedicated power source. Over the course of amazing trip we did not experience any issues and the Denali was a comfortable ride for some of the longer drives. Plenty of outlets and plug options for charging up gear on the road. The staff were super helpful and informative and we even got to use a brand new portable propane fire pit and camper shell. Highly recommended and looking forward to coming back for an even longer road trip.

AlaskaVans is the perfect way to get up close and friendly with Alaska while at the same time feeling like you are not missing the comforts of home. The AlaskaVans have been handcrafted by Alaskans to make travel in AK very enjoyable. I would schedule an AlaskaVans van again without hesitation, and I look forward to the next time that I do. Two thumbs up, plus some, for AlaskaVans! They took very good care of us in this amazing part of the world.

From the initial booking, to airport pick up/drop offs - everything went smoothly. The van itself was the perfect size for exploring Alaska. I loved that we were inconspicuous and the vehicle didn't scream tourist with any branded stickers or crazy paint jobs. The gas mileage was great, and the bed was comfy! Some bedding is provided, and it was the perfect weight for the summer weather. The van curtains weren't black out, but we felt it made the interior plenty dark enough to sleep. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would 100% recommend Northern Access.

Before that I had emailed to get…read moresome more info on the vehicles and what was included and All my questions were answered fully and accurately. The vehicle was as described and for the two of us it was perfect. Had no problems with the vehicle during our stay. We did have one occasion to try to get in touch with the owners when we thought we may be prevented from coming on time back due to a wildfire and couldn't get through - but that is to be expected if they are out enjoying their own getaway as happened to be the case. Were able to get picked up at our one nights of real lodging and then dropped the car off at the airport which was also very convenient. I would definitely rent here again especially as it is a locally owned small business enterprise.

Alaska Auto Rental stood out with the best rate and the highest customer recommendations. It turned out we did a good choice. The pick-up /return process was simple and fast. The airport shuttle was very good and convenient. We got a brand new car, which was super nice. Most important, the company's service is excellent. They answered the phone quickly and friendly, sent emails with detailed instructions. The pick-up /drop office has 24-hour service with nice staff, and the shuttle to airport was ready when we drop off the car after 8:30pm .... overall it was a wonderful experience, much beyond our expectations. We had never rented a car over a phone-online only company before. We must say, it is a brilliant idea, and worked out great! Thanks Alaska Auto Rental! You made our trip truly happy! Don and Ying
