Alaska may be the last frontier, but the cost of owning your own
RV may seem like its own insurmountable boundary, never mind the
drive to Alaska. In renting an RV in Alaska, you can travel when
and where you want, and at a fraction of the cost of buying an
RV. Alaskan RV rentals offer the best way to experience the
Alaskan experience.
The most popular RV rental is the class-C motor home. It's easy
to drive -- making it perfect for the first time RV renter --
and has comforts of home like beds, a toilet, shower, heat and
air-conditioning, refrigerator, and a microwave. These may be
especially nice in the Alaskan wilderness. If you want a
slightly more rustic experience, consider renting a folding
camping trailer, travel trailer, or truck trailer.
Some rental agencies provide complementary cooking and bedding
sets, a TV and DVD player for when you are tired of looking at
the Alaskan wilderness and BBQ sets with lawn chairs for Alaskan
cookouts. If you don't want these extras, shop around for more
basic, and possibly cheaper, RV rentals.
Pricing varies throughout Alaskan RV rental agencies. The
off-season, when rates are the cheapest, starts at the beginning
of September and runs through the end of May. Some agencies
charge a base fee of around $150 a day with unlimited miles
within Alaska. Other agencies have a cheaper base fee starting
around $70 a day, but charge an additional fee per mile, usually
between 15 and 20 cents.
Most Alaskan RV rental agencies provide one-way rentals, but you
will have the best luck finding an RV in Anchorage, where the
majority of RV rental agencies are based. Start your search on
the Internet to find the Alaskan RV rental agency that will
serve your needs the best. Don't be afraid to ask questions,
especially about insurance and extra costs like cleaning fees.
Have fun exploring the last frontier!
