Empire Monarchs Women's Rugby Club participated for the first time in the Alaska Midnight Sun 7s Tournament. The cargo van rental made it extremely convenient for entire team to commute during our Alaska stay. Rob communicates promptly and is kind. We had no issue booking, picking up, operating it, and returning it. We enjoyed our rental.
Van was perfect for our trip to Anchorage. Price was very fair! Easy pick up and drop off. I would recommend!!
Even though there was a minor issue with my original rental, their customer service was outstanding. They resolved everything immediately and upgraded me to a better vehicle for the same price. They turned a potential inconvenience into a great experience. I’d absolutely rent here again and highly recommend them!
Everything went well and this was the right vehicle for our family of 6, all of our gear, and a great price!
The van was perfect for what we needed it for, a grocery trip to Anchorage. Great fuel economy! Easy to load from the side or back. Nice and open inside with a rug, spot light/flashlight, broom, and fire extinguisher. Nathan the host was very responsive. Gave me peace of mind when picking up and returning the van. Be aware that if you choose the airport pick up the host parks it at a valet parking lot and not the short term/long term parking lot closest to the terminal. You have to take a shuttle a short distance down the road which was not an issue just something I had not planned for was wall.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The van was great—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Communication was clear and prompt throughout the entire process, and pickup and drop-off were incredibly easy. Matt was a fantastic host and made everything seamless. Would definitely rent from him again!
Van was great. Parked right at the airport Then being able to do a one way for a cruise was the best part. Would highly recommend.
The van is very clean and well kept. We used it for a family vacation of 8. Plenty of room for kids and luggage. Great and fast communication with owner.
Renting this van was an absolute no-brainer! We didn’t need something this big but thought the views would be better for the passengers. Everyone had plenty of room, very comfortable and great views. The van was very easy to drive and gets fuel economy that’s similar to a minivan. We got just under 20 miles per gallon. Brian is an incredible host who was very helpful with travel advice and suggestions. Awesome trip!
The vehicle was clean and brought right to the arrival doors. Upon drop off we had a large amount of baggage. The vehicle was picked up right after we finished unloading the van. We would rent this vehicle again.
First time using Turo. If I was staying in just the Anchorage metro area only, again, I think I would rent this vehicle again. The couch bed Was comfortable. I didn't use any of the cookware or propane stove. I left some unopened Kirkland signature water bottles in there cause I didn't want to take the with me. There was a slight inconvenience with the freezer and the batteries or something electrical underneath the closet. I did have to open the bottom of the wooden clothes drawer in the closet to flip the switch on whatever electrical thing that was so it would stop making that whiny beeping electronic noise. Kiril said it may be that the batteries needed a charge. I did leave a water bottle in the freezer in the right rear of the van so that there would be no rancid snelling of it cause it needs ventilation. There was a rumbling noise from the van the 1st day or two when I got it up to 30 to 35mph. On the final day aka return day, I didn't notice it however. One of the bedsheets I took out of the closet was kinda damp and when I laid it out on the couch, it got me a little damp. Overall, I would use this vehicle again if I were just sticking to the Anchorage area.
Was a great van for our trip full of memories around Alaska. Host was great which made our first time using Turo amazing! She was able to take seats out to make this van have the ability for more comfort and to bring a handicap walker with us. Thanks for the great trip!
The van we rented really met our needs and worked very well. I would definitely rent again. Thanks!
Brian took the time to walk us through the ins and outs of his van, which was very helpful. The van was nice and worked really well for our large group. There was ample storage and a very helpful backup camera. If we ever visit Alaska again, then we would definitely rent from Brian
Joel is amazing. Met us at the airport to drop off van at arrivals. Van was clean and great to get our group around anchorage the couple days before our cruise. Will definitely rent from him again.
Great Van for traveling around Alaska. The large windows are great for viewing nature. Joel is very responsive.
