Northern Nomads LLC - Anchorage, Alaska

Renting from this company was the best decision. It made our Alaska vacation perfect! The minivan we rented is small and easy to drive, but also comfortable, just right for two people. Communication was great, very flexible pick up and drop off. We really recommend!

My wife and I explored Alaska in Big Tuna as newlyweds on our honeymoon and couldn't have been happier with the experience. It was the perfect home on wheels and allowed to be very flexible with our itinerary knowing that we could simply park and "camp" for the night at a trail head or just off the main road. We ended up exploring Talkeetna, Whittier, Cooper Landing, Seward, Clam Gulch and Homer. Our trip was towards the end of August from 8/24 - 9/1 so while we did encounter some rain most of the days, we always felt cozy and dry in the Big Tuna.
We really enjoyed the experience and working with Clinton from the initial reservation process to the pick up and drop off. It was all very easy and all of our interactions were very enjoyable. We would highly recommend renting a van from Clinton at Northern Nomad's if you want a truly unique Alaska experience! We are already hoping to find our way back and have recommended this to many friends and family!

All the best,
Patrick and Kristen

Our Northern Nomads rental was perfect for our Alaska adventure! Vehicle was spotless and had everything we needed to camp our way through Alaska. At several campsites had folk coming over to check out and comment on the rig too. Clinton shared a few extra points of interest to hit and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend using Northern Nomads. We will definitely use them again next time we are in Alaska.

When I was looking for a vehicle for our road-trip there was not a lot of availability for rentals. I kept going back to their website looking at their vans and trying to figure out how I could make their Cargo Connect work for us (it is empty, but includes two chairs and a cooler). For the cost to have it fully insured it was worth trying to make it work. We purchased a full size air mattress, sleeping bags, and 2 pillows when we arrived in anchorage and it worked perfectly!! I wouldn’t have traded our vehicle for anything else. We had an amazing time running around the interior of Alaska seeing all the top spots and camping on the side of the road in some really cool pull out places. I would recommend this company to anyone, everything was so smooth from renting to the return of the vehicle!

My girlfriend and I rented the Tacoma with rooftop tent for three weeks in June. Clinton has been most helpful and accommodating from the first contact through e-mail last winter and also throughout the whole booking process. Even when we noticed a problem with rental car insurance prior to our trip he was always quick to reply and solve the issue. It was a pleasure to meet him when we picked up the truck. He took time to give us many useful tips on where to go, what the roads are going to be like and also showed everything in and around the truck, the rooftop tent and so on. Plus, he threw in some really useful accessories you reserve in advance such as bear spray. The truck itself was equipped with everything we would have ever needed and we slept like babies in the super-comfortable rooftop tent. We can absolutely recommend Northern Nomads without hesitating and would only rent from him if we come again!

My girlfriend and I rented “Big Red” for 4 days and wish we had done it for longer! Our van had everything you need, was perfectly sized, and was easy to drive. The couple who owns it was so flexible and prompt with pickup and drop off. Would recommend to anyone.

Had a great experience renting the Taco truck through Northern Nomads. The truck ran great and came with everything we needed for our adventure. Clinton was a pleasure to talk to and made the renting experience run smoothly. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had the pleasure of renting out Big Tuna from Clinton at Northern Nomads. We rented the van for a week and were able to drive to Denali and Seward from Anchorage. It’s not an exaggeration to say that this was one of the best trips we’ve ever taken, in no small part due to the professionalism and friendliness of Clinton. He was able to pick us up from our hotel and also give us a ride back after we returned the van.

The only negative about this trip was that it had to end. The van we rented was equipped with everything we could’ve needed and more. The van itself got great gas mileage on our trip and was so easy to drive, despite what you may think for a bigger van. The ride was smooth and we had zero mechanical or maintenance issues.

The sound system powered by an auxiliary battery was perfect while we were camped out and the additional USB outlets made sure we had our devices charged up. The bed and blankets provided kept us more than comfortable and warm enough, even through some pretty cold weather in Denali.

I can’t recommend Northern Nomads enough. If you are looking to explore Alaska this is the ONLY way to do it.
