My name is Kory and I am a lifelong Alaska who owns A Taste of Alaska Lodge and Aurora Pointe. A lot of my guests in the past have let me know their frustrations working with traditional rental car companies, specifically booking a car and the companies unable to say if the vehicle has AWD and real winter tires (note: all season tires are NOT winter tires. note. Winter tires are removed for summer). Hearing these frustrations I decided to purchase an All Wheel Drive Subaru Forester with real studded winter tires. The Subaru is outfitted with a winterization kit that when plugged in will keep the engine warm and able to start in our cold temperatures. In the lead up to booking this car and while you are traveling in Alaska, please feel free to ask me questions and advise not only about Fairbanks, but Alaska in general. I have been involved in the visitor industry for 30 years and I am an expert in Alaska travel. Subarus are extremely popular in Alaska due to their reliability, AWD, comfort and safety. They are the perfect summer car as well to take camping or drive the state. If you choose to book this car please do note it is not available to take on gravel highways such as: The Dalton Highway, The Denali highway, The Taylor Highway etc., but do not worry most highways in Alaska are nice pavement and go to the most popular areas in the state.
