RV Rental Guide
Rent Recreational Vehicles

Is there some good places/websites to find inexpensive RV rentals in Alaska? I'm hoping to pay less than $200/day for the rentals (near Anchorage)

Should I take my SUV or a rental RV up the Alaska Highway through Canada in May? I am considering driving to Alaska for fun before the summer traffic starts. May seems like the best time to go. I have a newer SUV or can rent a big RV for half price since I am really transporting it for the rental company. I've done it before from Arizona to Virginia so I know that RV. What I would like to know is can I expect to get there without damage to my own SUV or the RV? Damage by rocks or bad road conditions? Any suggestions on how to go or to research this will be appreciated.

We want to rent a camper rv? when we plan a vacation next summer in Alaska. We plan to fly to Alaska and rent a vehicle. An RV is expensive. We heard about pickup truck campers that the major car rental places rent. Would they be cheaper? Any ideas on how to rent a camper that isn't so expensive?

Should we visit Alaska by water (cruise) or land? Every year we do a family vacation. Typically, this means packing the tent in the SUV, and hitting the road to discover some new part of the Western US, where we live. Every 5th year, however, we splurge on a big vacation, and 2010 is our splurge year. This year, we are planning on going to AK! We are debating between taking a cruise or flying into Anchorage and exploring via rental car/RV. We love exploring nature, seeing wildlife, camping, and hiking, and love to get away from the crowds and enjoy our vacations on our own terms... spontaneously, with a flexibly-planned agenda. That said, we think that a land-based vacation in Southern AK would be our best bet. However, we are also strongly considering a cruise for the following reasons: 1) None of us have ever been on a cruise 2) We love the ocean and sailing on boats 3) Airfare, hotel, vehicle rental + food may cost MORE than a cruise 4) We live in Seattle, so we could drive to Seattle and/or Vancouver for the cruise ship, limiting/eliminating airfare altogether 5) For seeing the inside passage, the logistics of a cruise ship make total sense (BTW, we've also priced out the ferry system, and it seems pretty pricey too!) 6) It is totally different than our non-splurge vacations where we spend so much time in the car, so the kids would probably love the change of pace/scenery. For those who may be saying, "why not do both?" I couldn't agree more! What could be better than taking a cruise from Seattle to Seward, and then renting a car to explore Southern AK, staying in hotels along the way, and then flying home to Seattle? This would be awesome, if the cost weren't prohibitive! So, if you were in our shoes, what would you do and why?

We have some RV rental questions? My three friends and i are going to be taking a road trip the beginning of august and we are really confused about renting an rv. We'll need it for 12 nights. Since we live in Alaska, we will be flying down to Seattle and starting there, our destination is Long Beach. Anyways, how much do they usually charge a day for a motor home? We were on this site, http://rvrentalsalefinder.com/class_c_freedom_elite_e23_270853_usa_rv_rental.html?category=&pickup_location=Seattle&dropoff_location=Seattle&pickup_date=&dropoff_date=&currency=&IsMysteryDeal=No. But everything is confusing to use. We are all 18-20 years old, so you can see why we don't know much about this. Anyways, if anyone has had experience with traveling and renting an RV please help us out. Some guesstimates on costs would be great too. We don't have a budget so any amount is fine. Thanks.
