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.

If you need 4 wheel drive, I'd look elsewhere. Good luck if you need assistance after renting - response time by phone and email are very slow. I tried to dispute with my credit card (first time I've ever done that), and all they did was send a copy of their cancellation policy, which just says they keep your deposit but nothing about extra miles never driven. Very unclear. Do not rent from them as I feel these type of shady tactics are why you'd end up with extra cleaning fees, extra repairs, etc.

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!

If you're looking for a trustworthy, comprehensive, clean camper for a memorable vacation, look no…read morefurther than Northern Nomads and book your camper vehicle today! We needed something easy to drive and maneuver around for a busy 5 day trip. We debated about RV vs van camper and I'm so so glad we chose a camper van with this "company". I put "company" in air quotes bc even though it is a business, it didn't feel that way. You can tell immediately this is a personal venture - Clinton was extremely prompt with any communication. We booked through outdoorsy.com and there was a system glitch two days before our arrival so my husband emailed Clinton and he called back very shortly afterwards to explain and confirm our van and dates of reservation. He picked us up at the airport (with a 6 am arrival time no less! He also dropped us off back at the airport) and then took his time to review the contract and functionality of the camper. He was thoughtful and thorough and very responsive. Felt like everything had a personal touch to it and he was honest. The camper is extremely well equipped. Bed is comfortable, and comes with pillows, sheets and an amazing comforter. There are drapes for privacy which was great to block out the night time light (since the sun sets so late here in the Summer; they're not black out drapes and we were told that from the get go. Again, honest owner ) and adds privacy when we parked (drapes blocks out the front and side windows). There is a pump sink, all the major cooking pots and cast iron pan (!), coffee pot, propane portable grill, table for eating inside and folding table for grilling roadside. Large cooler also comes with. Recessed lighting and surround sound with Bluetooth connection means you're one click away from a van party (Seriously. The bass is legit.). Comes with plugs and usb connection and axillary battery to charge all your mobile devices. The van is smooth to drive (okay, I admit, I didn't drive it, but my husband loved it and said it was easy to use and drive). We averaged 25-30 miles a gallon (which is amazing for a van). It was clean, quiet, and totally met and exceeded our needs and expectations! #glamping Hands down if we come back again, we will be looking to rent from Northern Nomads again. They won't leave your stranded. Clinton was telling us how he's looking into a spare van/camper to make sure people who book with him won't be stranded should there be an issue with the van (ex. Tire issue, bull moose crash - these are real examples). You spend a lot of time, money and energy getting to the last frontier, you want to make sure it's a solid trip. THIS will give you a home to stay while maximizing your time in Alaska!

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.

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.

Two thumbs up, plus some, for AlaskaVans! They took very good care of us in this amazing part of the world.
