Compare campervan rentals all around the world
Easy to use with no booking fees.
Road Genius compares campervan rentals from many suppliers so you can choose the best vehicle for Alaska roads. Most travelers start in Anchorage or Fairbanks, drive the Seward, Parks or Alaska Highways and explore Denali, Kenai Fjords and the Kenai Peninsula. Daylight, weather and services change quickly with the season, so plan your timing carefully.
RV rental costs in Alaska depend on factors like RV size, age, features, booking duration, season, and pick-up/drop-off locations.
Daily rates typically range from $80 to $350. The widest selection of vehicles is available in Anchorage, but other pickup locations such as Skagway and Fairbanks may also be possible.
Check current rates using our search tool for the most accurate pricing. Additionally, consider extra costs like fuel, campsite fees, and any add-ons such as GPS or additional drivers.

The main highways are paved but frost damage creates bumps that force slower travel; speed limits are 55–65 mph (90–105 km/h).
Fuel stations may be 100 miles / 160 kilometers apart, so fill up whenever possible.
Highway signs use mileposts (MP) instead of exit numbers; these numbers count distance from each highway's starting point.
Moose and caribou cross roads at dawn and dusk; reduce speed and keep headlights on low beam.
Summer road construction uses pilot cars and can add 15–30 minute delays.
Alaska has no toll roads; all bridges and highways are free to use.

In the USA, you usually just need a standard car driver's license from home to rent a campervan. Foreign licenses are fine if they're in English or come with an official English translation. If not, arrange for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to your regular license.
Yes, you can rent a motorhome for a one-way trip in the USA. This means you can collect the motorhome in one city and return it in another. Keep in mind, though, that extra charges might apply for one-way rentals and availability can differ depending on the rental company and location.
