Questions And Answers

For late arrivals, you can take an Uber or cab and get the key from the lock box (MUST BE PREARRANGED) and then you can sleep at the lot until you are rested and ready to travel. We will arrange to meet you the next morning to demonstrate the motorhome, fill out the paperwork, take pictures or give you a ride to the airport, etc.

When you rent a motorhome from Alaska Family Motorhomes (AFM) website, we book by the calendar day. However, depending on insurance rules and availability and additional fees, you may be able to pick up the RV as early as 6PM in the evening prior to your start date. We do this as a courtesy, since many flights into Alaska arrive late evening or early morning. Alternately, if you use a service such as RV share or Outdoorsy for your booking, their stated rules will apply. In both cases, 5pm return on the last rental day is the norm, However ALL incoming and outgoing times are arranged BY Appointment Only.

An AFM typical booking example… if you request July 2nd to July 8th, it will be 7 calendar (rental) days. The booking starts as early as 6PM on July 1st (if insurance and fees are paid up) and you need to return the motorhome before 5PM on July 8th. If you count the calendar days it is July 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th for a total of seven calendar days. We have found that this works great for most travelers especially if you arrive at 8PM on July 1st or early on July 2nd, All incoming and outgoing times are scheduled in advance by appointment only.

• If you rent for seven days or longer, I have a built-in $10 to $20 deduction on the standard daily rate (Varies with season, length of stay and vehicle). If the standard daily rate is $180 per day and the rental is as stated above, then the actual rent is $160/day times 7 days which equals $1120 plus tax, plus options. This is automatically calculated into the rate and may not be apparent.
• There is an 8% Municipality of Anchorage tax and 3% State of Alaska tax for a total of 11%
• Using the example above $1120 plus 11% ($123.20) equals $1243.20 for the final cost (plus selected insurance and optional fees as desired).

We operate out of a private storage lot located at 5737 Old Seward Highway. We offer free airport or hotel pickup and drop-off in Anchorage, Alaska during the normal operating hours of 8AM to 6PM. Likewise, we must meet by appointment only. Please be sure to call or text the main cell phone number 907-602-6604 well in advance to make specific arrangements. After hours (6PM to 8AM) appointments may sometimes be arranged in advance for a onetime fee. There is an hourly penalty fee if you are late to return

We prefer that you use Wheelbase/outdoorsy as the primary insurance carrier. Due to previous issues, we hesitate to use your full coverage insurance. Should we agree to use your insurance, you will have to get your insurance company to send us written proof of full coverage insurance (binder) on the specific motorhome VIN for the specific rental period. You will not be allowed to move the RV out of the lot until insurance is settled in writing. I prefer this written insurance binder about two weeks before the rental date.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 25 Years Old, please talk to your insurance company to see if your full coverage insurance will transfer to a rented RV. Or else, call State Farm and get a full coverage policy with them.

All drivers will have to get verified by Wheelbase/Outdoorsy system or be pre-approved by Tom Janezich. Most vehicles require a minimum age of 25 with some exceptions allowed on certain RV’s. Contact AFM for exceptions to this rule.

Collision and comprehensive deductibles (starts at $500 or 8% of value) will apply.
