In terms of flexibility, affordability, and comfort, nothing quite beats a rental van for larger traveling groups. A four-wheel-drive van rental goes even further, adding access to more remote parts of Alaska to the list of benefits.
Access to more remote parts of Alaska.
It's a surprise to many Alaska travelers that several of the state's "highways" are little more than gravel roads. These rental vans are permitted on those unpaved routes. Journey along the far-flung Dalton Highway north of Fairbanks. Drive the Denali Highway. Visit Wrangell-St. Elias, the United States' largest national park, via the infamous McCarthy Road. All these Alaska adventures are possible.
Available vehicles are 12- or 15-passenger vans similar to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. They are late model, low mileage, and come with free unlimited miles. All vans offer air conditioning, AM/FM stereo, and four-wheel drive.
