What you need to know about RV rentals in Anchorage, Alaska

RV rental Anchorage tips for the savvy traveller

Remember to organise your RV pick up plan well in advance and stay in communication with the Anchorage RV rental depot if your flight gets delayed. You will need an orientation to get acquainted with your chosen RV rental, and these often happen at specific times during the day. After-hours pick ups may require a bit of flexibility on your part, so preparation is key.

Some planning tips for your Alaska RV rental:

  • With a very RV-friendly state like Alaska, you can fully immerse yourself in the wilderness by staying at one of Anchorage’s RV campgrounds or national parks. Eagle River Campground is just 12 miles north of Anchorage where you can white-water raft, hike, and fish. Bird Creek campground is about 20 miles south of Anchorage, where you can go whale watching. Eklutna Lake Campground offers a ranger station on the grounds and is approximately 35 minutes from the city. Free camping is also permitted at a number of places, just check online first.
  • If you are in the city, Golden Nugget RV Park near Downtown Anchorage is near the shopping and dining areas, yet is surrounded by gardens. Centennial campground in Centennial Park has rustic sites and is open during the summer season.

How to choose my RV rental in Anchorage

Great Alaskan Holidays Motorhome Rentals offer the greatest selection of well-maintained campers in Alaska. The pricing is reasonable and by booking early the rental process is so easy. ABC has a new fleet of RV rentals with nothing before 2012. The customer service is excellent and includes a 24-hour emergency assistance hotline. You could also pick up a truck camper or camper vans in Seattle or elsewhere in America and drive north. El Monte and Cruise America RV Rentals terminals are great options to check out in this case.

You’re going to love Anchorage

Despite a population of just 300,000, Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska. Its people are both warm and welcoming and hardy and resourceful—a testament to living in such a wild, and sometimes, challenging environment. Here you will find culturally rich experiences, great local cuisine, and myriad opportunities to see nature at its finest.

Some nearby must-see attractions for your journey in Anchorage, Alaska include:

  • Anchorage Museum - Be sure to visit this world-class facility that lets you delve into the history of Alaska, from Russian occupation and the gold rush era to the diverse culture of the Alaskan native people. The museum has beautiful art on display and a fully serviced restaurant. 
  •  Chugach Mountains - This chain borders the city and is part of one of the nation’s largest parks. Winter lends itself to skiing, while summer allows hikers, backpackers and climbers to enjoy the spectacular vistas from 13,176 feet.
  • Glacial watching - This is one of the main attractions in Anchorage and while you can partake from the comfort of a restaurant with a glass of red in hand, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a little closer. Boat cruises through Prince William Sound get you near enough to see the glaciers calve and crash into the water below.
  • Wildlife - Moose, black bears, brown bears, Dall sheep, beavers, bald eagles and beluga whales all call Alaska home. You can fly fish for salmon in the rivers, but remember you are not the only one looking for this delicacy!

The freedom of travelling in a RV rental offers a more spontaneous and stress-free experience than catching a tour bus. Explore Anchorage in a motorhome and have an epic RV trip in Alaska.
