Empire Monarchs Women's Rugby Club participated for the first time in the Alaska Midnight Sun 7s Tournament.

This van was absolutely perfect for our week long wedding adventure in Alaska! Pick up and drop off was very simple and convenient. The van was very clean and the owner very responsive to all our questions! Also the big red van was very easy to pick out in a crowded parking lot!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mark was a great host! The Ford Transit Connect was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for the family. Everything went smoothly from pickup to return. Great experience overall, and I’d definitely rent from Mark again!
Thank you for the car. Great trip and easy pick up and drop off. I appreciate you making it easy for us!
We had 4 adults and 3 children. We needed a large vehicle for all our luggage for our 10 day Alaska trip. This was perfect. Bradley was nice and showed me pics of the MB Sprinter. Plenty of room for everyone. The pickup and return were fine but just a bit awkward compared to a rental agency. For our situation this nearly new van was just what we needed.
Originally wasn’t going to rent a van, but then ended up doing it and I am so glad I did. My whole family came to visit and we all spent it together. The van was really nice, it had the essentials we needed for our travel. On top of that the host Brian was very hospitable. He even made it super convenient to drop off and pick up the van from my home. I’m super appreciate and grateful for my experience. I definitely recommend renting from Brian.
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!
Wonderful experience. Great vehicle for a larger group. Pickup and communication with the owner was efficient!
