curlyqmomma Posted July 7, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Where did you rent your car from? Anyone rent a vaN? Did you have to go to the airport or is there a shuttle or bus to pick-up and return? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted July 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2009 You've got the wrong idea about Skagway. :) It's an 800 person "town", 2 blocks by 20+++, "airport" has no commercial airline service, and a runway is right along the west edge. Avis is the only major rental, you need to call them directly about van availability. Sourdough the only independent, they have vans. Without mobility limitations, you walk to these locations. Otherwise there is the SMART bus, with nearby drop offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare karatemom2 Posted July 7, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2009 We just rented from Avis on our recent cruise. They do have a van and an SUV. We rented the SUV which I believe was a Toyota. It said it seated six but it would have been tight. If you have a party of six or seven the van would be better if it is available the day you are there.

MercedMike Posted July 7, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2009 We rented from Avis. Online we made reservations for two cars, but when we got there they offered us a van. It would probably be good to call them directly if the van does not show up online. As noted, it is not much of a walk to Avis, maybe about 8 or 10 blocks from the pier. However there is a very convenient shuttle bus for a couple of bucks that will drop you half a block from Avis. Be sure to get Murray's Guide to the Yukon Highway (Google it) as it is THE best way to see the sights every mile along the way. We loved this drive.
