Great Alaskan Holidays offers the most complete motorhome package available
anywhere. While others may say their rental packages are equal to Great Alaskan
Holidays, the truth is….they aren’t! That’s why you should be very
specific when making your evaluation. Be sure you’re comparing "apples to
apples." Ask the following questions.
Do you guarantee the year of the motorhome?
Each year Great Alaskan Holidays, Inc., spends millions of dollars to keep
our fleet young. Some companies cut costs and quality by using motorhomes up to
eight years old or they use "modular" motorhomes. With a
"modular" motorhome only the automotive portion of the motorhome is
replaced. The "coach" portion is recycled over and over again. Some companies use "lease-back" motorhomes belonging to someone else.
Is the floor plan you show in your website the floor plan that I will get?
At Great Alaskan Holidays, our motorhome fleet is standardized – the floor
plan you see in the rate card is the floor plan you will get at pick up.5 We own
our entire fleet. We do not use "leaseback" or third-party-owned
vehicles that result in a hodge podge fleet of different makes, models, and floor plans.
Do you require pre-payment of Rental Fees?
No! Great Alaskan Holidays, Inc. is financially "rock
solid" and we do not need to obtain payment in advance to ensure we have
adequate working capital. There is no prepayment requirement when you rent from Great Alaskan Holidays so you will have no concern about mailing a large payment to Alaska.
What is the charge for a housekeeping and linen package?
We include a complete housekeeping package with brand name
cookware like Cuisinart pots and pans, and eating utensils. We also include with the rental, at no additional
cost to you, a complete hotel quality, professionally laundered, linen package with sheets, Vellux blankets,
pillows, bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths for each person in your party.
Is there a charge if I don’t have time to dump the holding tanks on my
return day?
We do not have a $75 dump fee or requirement to empty the holding tanks
before you return the motorhome. At Great Alaskan Holidays, our business is
making your vacation as relaxing as possible. Trying to find a dump station on the last morning of your
vacation is not the way you want to end your
trip.
Is insurance included, and what are
the deductibles if I don’t purchase your CDW-LDW-VIP Plus (or whatever
you call it) protection plan?
Insurance coverage is included with your rental at Great Alaskan
Holidays with a $1,000 deductible for comprehensive and a $1,500 deductible for collision. Coverage includes collision, comprehensive, bodily injury/liability, and uninsured motorist. You can lower
your comprehensive deductible to $0 and your collision deductible to $250 by
purchasing Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). Ask your Reservations Specialist for
details when you call.
What other extra costs are there besides the basic rental fee?
At Great Alaskan Holidays everything you need for a complete rental is
included in the price7. You only pay for the rental. All other costs are included
except for optional Collision Damage Waiver, and other optional rental items
such as fishing gear, bike rack, or BBQ.
Is there a charge if we do not return the motorhome
clean?
When you rent from Great Alaskan Holidays, you don't need to
clean the motorhome to get your deposit refunded. Don’t be misled by
companies claiming "No mandatory cleaning fee". This means you
bring it back clean or pay them to clean it. At Great Alaskan Holidays,
"We do the cleaning".
How long has your company been in business and how many
clients travel with you each year?
We have been in business since 1985. This year more than
10,000 people will
rent with us.
Who maintains your vehicles and what maintenance standards
do you use?
We are extremely proud that Great Alaskan Holidays is one
of only three6 companies in Alaska
and the only motorhome rental company that has been awarded and maintained the
prestigious status of a Ford Warranty station. Online with Ford and with
access to Ford Factory training, our technicians are able to give each vehicle a
thorough 41-point maintenance check-up before every rental with the latest
diagnostic equipment and training. Our maintenance standards meet or
exceed Ford Motor Company's recommended maintenance intervals. Additionally, we
are a Winnebago service center and an Onan®
generator warranty maintenance facility.
Is the motorhome equipped with a 120 volt Power Generator?
Every Great Alaskan Holidays motorhome is equipped with a 120 volt
Power Generator to run the roof air conditioning and microwave oven and your
hair dryer, if you bring it from home.
Is there an hourly charge for using the Power
Generator?
Most motorhome rental companies include the first
half hour or hour of generator time per day with your rental. Then
they start a hidden hourly charge for use of the generator. At Great
Alaskan Holidays, unlimited use of the generator is included with your
rental.
Does the motorhome have two coach batteries in addition to the automotive
battery?
Every Great Alaskan Holidays motorhome is specially outfitted with two
coach batteries in addition to the automotive battery. Our two coach batteries
are large, deep-cycle, golf cart type batteries, so you don't have to worry about
not having sufficient power to operate the furnace throughout the night.

6 The other two non-dealer companies in
Alaska that have been awarded and maintained the prestigious status of a
Ford Warranty station are a major oilfield service company on the North
