Alaska is perhaps the most wonder-rich area of the United States. It is likewise tough and unwelcoming to visitors, however.

Nonetheless, what would be the best way to explore the natural riches of Alaska? Renting an RV to cover its vast terrains, of course!

Where To Rent An RV In Alaska?

Compared to many other states, Alaska is poor when it comes to local RV dealerships.

Unless you are in a larger locality like Anchorage, you are going to have trouble with finding a local dealer. A quick Google search shows that the vast majority of dealers are situated in Anchorage and a few other large towns.

Online rental platforms like RVshare, Outdoorsy, or Cruise America appear not to be of much help either. Even though you may be lucky enough to find an RV owner willing to rent their RV out no matter where you are in Alaska, it’s much less likely to happen in remote areas.

You will either have to move closer to large towns or cities like Anchorage, or you will have to look for other options for travel.
