What Alaska Adventure Car and Camper Van Rental of Anchorage Tells Us
As a small rental company in Anchorage, Alaska Adventure Car and Camper Van Rental of Anchorage only targets travellers in budget who don't want a fancy retreat but rather a simple and affordable holiday on wheels. This locally-owned entity seems to be unhip with the rental competition in the area and continues to offer cheap and limited vehicle rentals of jeep campers and cars. And for a personalized touch, they provide free local area pick up and drop off, as well as one way rentals.
Fleet
The set of the company's jeep campers are pretty old without no trace of advertising. Still, these units of J30 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited units (2007 to 2012) are dependable on the road and are equipped with some basic camping essentials like sleeping bags, pillows, cooler, butane stove, dish set, pots, pans and some useful extras such as camp chairs, paper products, cleaning tools and more. And if you get unlucky with some bugs while you sleep, don't worry because they also supply you with a flashlight and a bug spray! Aside from the free inclusions, they allow rental of kayak and bicycle, snorkel gears, surfboards and SUPS at an additional cost. Their vehicles, however, are limited to the Alaskan landscape only.
Vehicles
Having a fleet of limited vehicles allows the company to easily maintain and service their units. As of this writing, they only have one type of jeep camper in two different colors— red and white. These units come with a pop-up camper featuring a comfy bed plus pillows and sleeping bags, and can only sleep up two adults. Hence, this isn't something to look forward to for big groups or families with kids.
The rental inclusions, of course, can save you more money on accommodation, especially that some thoughtful extras are already free. But just a reminder, these vehicles aren't those that provide you with utmost comfort and luxury. So, it's better to manage expectations if you'll be renting from them .
Insurance
To secure your rental, you must provide a copy of insurance from your own insurance company before the pick-up date or you can purchase one from the company at an additional cost per day. Even if these are 4x4 vehicles, they do not allow beach driving, as well as driving on gravel or unpaved roads. The company does not disclose the amount of their security deposit and insurance options, but can be verified during your inquiry.
Reputation
Offering a laid-back Alaskan car rental at a cheap cost, the company is doing good so far with mostly positive reviews from uncomplicated backpackers. Of course, only unsophisticated travellers will only appreciate their set of limited jeep campers. There aren't much frills with their rentals unlike other companies with lots of bells and whistles. However, their vehicles are roomy enough with complete sleeping needs, and these can further bring you to some off the road adventure compared to those fancy, big RVs.
Summary
The company has a specific target— undemanding backpackers needing a low-cost accommodation on wheels and a much more exciting adventure on the road. So if you are hit right in the feels, then you will enjoy their fleet of jeep campers!
