A little pricey. But worth it for a once in a lifetime adventure to the Keni peninsula. Not having to worry about a rental car/hotel room stay was such a load off our shoulders.

UPDATE: After returning home and reviewing our photos, we discovered that the scratch existed BEFORE we picked up the vehicle. Only after presenting this photographic evidence to the company did they agree to issue a refund. This confirms our suspicion that we were wrongfully charged from the beginning. WARNING TO FUTURE RENTERS: Take comprehensive photos of the ENTIRE vehicle during pickup, including close-ups of any existing damage, no matter how minor. This company's inspection practices and billing disputes make thorough documentation absolutely essential to avoid being wrongfully charged for pre-existing damage.

Our arrival flight was delayed( I realize this isn't their fault/isssue). That said, they are in the hospitality business. They were notified and aware of the delay. Flight was on the ground and we were at the door at 5:55pm. Lady ignored us and locked the doors. There were a handful of renters that were left either finding a place to stay or staying in the parking lot in the rv. Checkout the following morning took a whole 10 minutes! So we had to delay our departure by 13 hours for a 10 minute process. For $4100 to rent the rv, I would think a reasonable amount of flexibility warranted. This delayed us getting to a scheduled fishing charter at cooper landing. The shuttle was also not running so we had to grab an Uber to get there. Be aware of this when considering flight times. The rv was ok.

Oh wow are they nice, before you've paid. Afterwards they have a very dejected attitude. The person who was checking in our RV after having to be asked 3 separate times for help needed us to open the compartments for her. Taking 30 minutes to do a walk around and say okay. Afterwards we were approached by an older lady who said that we might miss the shuttle home. Who then changed her mind without informing us that we could. I called a taxi because you know WE HAVE A FLIGHT. That's an 80 dollar difference for us and I'm a college student who just blew all he had on this trip. My father after spending 14000 on 2 rvs was a little pissed it wasn't a guarantee. The lady then instead of talking to the person who was talking ran from that confrontation just to start one with people not involved. Not to mention the quart of oil we had to add and no cruise control on the RV with "60,000 miles" for the whole 2 weeks, but you bet we paid like it was minty. It would have been one star but the man in the shuttle was extremely nice. Needless to say not a very welcoming place but the ride is nice. I've never seen 4 people look so important just standing there.

My spouse and I recently rented a Winnebago Travato 59K for 8 days. I write the below knowing that there's not really much competition for this business and they're quite busy. When we watched the training video they sent, it was for the Travato Solis, which is significantly different (has a cassette toilet, and many different systems/features including interior & water heating). I called out of concern that they booked the incorrect RV, but was told that they use a Solis video as they're basically the same. I was eventually later told that the 59K is new to them, and discovered that they don't really know much about them and plan to discontinue them. The next chilly morning after camping in Hope, we went to turn on the interior heat and heat the water. The Trumi Combo system kept giving me error code "E6H" that I was eventually able to figure out online was something serious related to the wiring or circuitry. I called Great Alaskan and a technician was nice but wasn't able to help. Matt Miller called after a while and arranged for us to return to Anchorage (disrupting our itinerary to continue away from Anchorage) to exchange RVs. They did agree to credit us for one day due to our loss of vacation time. With the other RV, I wanted to make sure that the heat worked. The staff didn't know anything about the Trumi Combo system and brought in a technician/mechanic, who was clearly irritated and annoyed. When I asked about testing the instant heat feature, he rudely told me not to use it. Shortly afterward, the spout on the kitchen sink started popping off violently when turning on the water, often making a huge mess and one time scalding my spouse's hand when he grabbed the hot spout to try to stop it. We had to try to remember to hold the spout down when using the sink, which only left one hand free. Also, one of the shower curtains was off the rail and it took us about 1/2 hour to repair it as the hook was bent up. And the black water pull handle was missing, not a big deal once we figured it out as we used pliers. I advised them of those issues upon return. It seems they should be inspecting the vehicles better before renting them out. Although we received credit for having to exchange the RV, I submitted a claim for additional credit due to the kitchen faucet issue and turned it in. Upon following up via email, it appears that it was never turned in for processing, or ignored. After following up a couple more times, I was told that Mr. Miller denied the request. I know should have called it in and should have read the agreement requiring that, but didn't want to deal with it at the time as the only option would be to again return the RV for exchange or repair and I expected them to believe us and be reasonable -- especially with the amount of money we spent, paying in full 2.5 months in advance. While waiting for the airport shuttle, we asked staff twice about wi-fi and were curtly told that if a free SSID wasn't showing up (it wasn't, only their secured house one) then there isn't any. I know the staff was busy, but it seems like they could ask someone to fix it. The airport shuttle was awesome, and the driver was great to talk with. One other note, while waiting for the shuttle, we asked about looking at a Mercedes RV and were directed to the salesman. He responded by telling us they don't sell to non-locals (understandably) but also told us the price, which came off as though he assumed we couldn't afford one. I would rent from them again (and we loved the Travato 59K), but now know to inspect and test everything myself and immediately document and notify them of any problems (even if I don't want to return for exchange/repair).

I don't understand all the bad reviews here, though I suspect a lot of them relate to the reality of RV holidays, vs anything specific to Great Alaskan. We rented a 32' Minnie Winnie for a two week trip earlier this year. I'm so glad I chose Great Alaskan over other operators for a number of reasons: (1) You can purchase insurance directly. I didn't want to have to go through my regular insurance - felt like too much of a pain. The extra piece of mind is totally worth it. (2) You can stay in the RV on the lot on the first night (if you arrive late) and the last night (if you have an early departure). This was incredibly handy for us and saved us a ton of money and inconvenience vs having to book hotels, additional transport, etc. (3) The RVs themselves are generally VERY new and have conveniences that other companies don't provide (such as slide-outs ,which make a huge difference to space), TVs, etc. Provisioning of the rv in terms of bedding, kitchen ware, etc, was also excellent. Our RV was immaculately clean when we arrived. Customer service the whole way through was excellent. Our only minor issue was when we got a flat tire in Denali. I had to change it myself (which was fine) but the provided jack was comically small for the size of the RV. I had to borrow a proper one from a neighboring camper. RVing is an amazing way to see and experience Alaska, and going with Great Alaskan gives you an opportunity to make the best of that experience. I would say that most of the rental RVs we saw on the road in Alaska were from Great Alaskan, and all of the other RV'ers we spoke to who rented from this company seemed very happy with their choice. And for anyone wondering, our itinerary was anchorage- Denali - Fairbanks - Kenny Lake (for Wrangell-St. Elias) - Valdez - (ferry to Whittier) - Seward - Homer - Anchorage. All in two weeks.

All in all a nice RV experience however a few things that make no sense and soured the experience. - GAH is in the hospitality business and the majority of it's revenue comes from out of town visitors in Alaska to enjoy it's splendor. The fact that they close at 5pm makes no sense. A quick review of the flights in and out of ANC show this closing time does not jive with their rental customers. We were told that the closing time was due to lack of staffing....really ? The rest of the industry which chases the tourist buck adapts to the need of the market and they certainly do not with these hours. If you return late the gates will be closed and the attitude of management is "try camping at Cabellas down the road"...again really ? What if road construction, traffic or other causes a delay, you have a flight at 11pm and the gates are locked ? Even the smallest, non chain hotel has a provision for late or unattended check out. The rigs are great, most of the staff is attentive but we expect a better procedure and overall better effort for a place that is the big guy in the Great State of Alaska.

We have owned several RV's over the years. Currently do not own one. I like to do research beforehand, as many of you do too. We rented fro GAH for 2 weeks. There were 4 adults in a 31k Minnie Winnie. Over the 2 weeks we drove 1750 miles and boon-docked 6 of the 14 nights and we had zero problems. Took 1000's of photos and have just as many memories. We arrived after hours, but they can arrange for you to stay in your camper over night. At first I was very disappointed because our original flight got in at noon and we could hit the road. But the airline changed our schedule. But, checking in like that gave us time to review everything. So really it worked out great as we could get all unpacked and situated before we hit the road. And make sure we know how to operate everything. Returning was just easy. Pull in, unpack, go over everything. Wait for the shuttle (it was barely anything for us) and off you go. We talked to many people on our trip that also used GAH and everyone loved them. And people also that bought from them. Everyone gave them rave reviews.

Beware the tiny balding man with a clipboard who yells at you for momentarily using the covered parking when dropping off passengers in a rainstorm. He has a clipboard, and will use all the authority it confers upon him to rudely ensure that his boss's customers get wet. Beware!

With 8 days to go until we fly in to Anchorage to pick up the RV for our Alaskan vacation, we wake up to an email telling us our reservation has been cancelled...... with NO REASON!!!! I would advise anyone booking a trip to Alaska to choose a more reputable company.
