Wildflowers of Early Summer

One of the joys of being out on the trails and in the campgrounds in the springtime is watching Alaska’s wildflowers start to bloom. Some of the early bloomers are also some of the most recognizable.

Love what this company is offering. I have a rig at home fully loaded and other than it not being my tundra it’s has everything you could need from cooking, utensils, bedding/pillows etc. It is a bronco sport so make sure to familiarize yourself with all its fancy gadgets to enhance your camping/over landing experience. Shoutout to Darren and Britta for all the help and accommodations. Highly recommend.

Our family of 4 had a fabulous experience with Get Lost Travel Vans. Upon arrival we were met with a very friendly and informative overview of our vehicle and were provided with everything needed to hit the road. We loved the flexibility afforded by the van of being able to stop and camp where we wanted, with ability to adjust along the way to stay longer or depart earlier. We saw some amazing wildlife, glaciers, and other outdoor scenery and thoroughly enjoyed hiking and camping. Overall a terrific way to see south central Alaska. Highly recommend!

Our family had a fantastic time touring around Alaska in our Get Lost camper van! We love camping, and this was a way to have the camping experience with a little more comfort and protection from the elements (it rained every day but one, and snowed once, but none of that detracted from our enjoyment of the trip!). The van was in excellent shape, and even with our family of 4 adults we had room to sleep comfortably and to store our belongings. Customer service was also fantastic - before the trip (we made multiple changes easily) and during pickup and dropoff. We highly recommend Get Lost Travel Vans!

Whoever designed these Campervans knows what they are doing. You get all the equipment you need. The water jug, the stove and the fridge are high quality and worked great for our trip. Everything you get is clean and well maintained.Special thanks to Britta at the Office. From booking to returning, the customer service was just outstanding!

After getting a personal recommendation from a friend of the owners, we decided to ditch the expensive hotels and car rentals and go full campervan. We had a great time. The van was stocked with quality gear and the process of picking up and dropping off was easy. It made our first stay in Alaska a memorable one!

We rented the SUV and it was the perfect way to get around Alaska! The car comes fully equipped with everything you need. The bed is definitely more comfortable than I thought it would be. And we had access to a lot of cool camp sites. We loved this experience and would definitely use Get Lost Travel Vans again. The owners were great.

Their cars and service are superb!We rented a Bronco for a week of overlanding around Alaska and it was amazing. The cars come with everything you need: awning, roof tent with bed linens and pillows, cooking stove and utensils, dinnerware, cooking gas, potable water, fridge, chairs, table, and even bear spray. You just have to bring your clothes and buy the food in Anchorage.The Bronco was brand new and it performed great. We managed to find camping spots away from everybody else and with the most amazing views.The service was great from booking to check out. I will definitely use Get Lost Travel Vans if I return to AK. This is the best way to experience the beauty of this state.

If you are traveling to Alaska and need a GREAT way to see the state, visit Get Lost. The staff are extremely helpful, the vans are top notch, the rates are great, and offers so much freedom. Easy check in process and explanation of the features of your rv. I rented twice from them in a period of two weeks.

So I never got to rent a van, but that doesn’t mean the customer service still wasn’t great. I made a reservation to rent a van this coming summer for about a week and a half, and soon after, I had to cancel the reservation due to my financial situation changing with a home buying process. I emailed them and asked if I could get a refund minus the processing fees and they reached back out to me within a couple hours to issue the refund and were very polite and understanding about it. Though I’m not renting from them at the moment, I still plan to in the future.

Get Lost Travel Vans was fantastic!!!! The van was awesome and provided everything you need. You can tell that the design of the van is well thought out and that every design/detail has a purpose.Britta and her team answered all of my questions and there were A LOT and they also provided incredible recommendations on campgrounds to stay at. I know there are numerous options when looking to travel to Alaska but you shouldn't look any further than Get Lost Travel Vans!We can't wait to go back!!

Had a great experience renting and traveling with a Get Lost Travel Van. We originally booked for 2020, and had no problems changing dates to 2021. Our van was clean, well stocked, and comfortable for the four of us and all our stuff. Although we had almost perfect weather for our trip, knowing that we had an inside table available, should we need it was great. The van got better gas mileage than we would have expected, especially since it was loaded with so many extras. We had plenty of charging ports, and places to store our things. Everyone appreciated the power inverter and access to charge devices anywhere. The water and sink were a camping bonus that we were not used to in our years of tent camping around the United States. The refrigerator held more than we expected it to, keeping us from too many trips to the store. My only suggestion, is that you are traveling with more than two people, you will. probably need a bigger. cooking pot. With two boys aged 16 and 21, we sometimes had to find different ways to cook the amounts of foods they. consumed. But it was a great way to see Alaska!

The travel van is a great way to explore Alaska since it is self reliant, small (in comparison to an RV), and inconspicuous. The Get Lost travel vans specifically, are designed well, run great, and are provided in the cleanest condition. The company also offers bear spray when available left by other renters and a nice selection of "take one, leave one" items.The company and staff were very informative and friendly. Heidi made sure we were well prepared for our trip. My travel partner and I were very pleased with Get Lost Travel Vans.

Absolutely breathtaking! Our trip to Alaska has been our favorite place thus far in the U.S to travel. We are so very pleased with Get Lost Travel Vans from the moment of booking the vehicle, ALL the in between travels, up to the very last moment of return. Reliable & efficient, this van traveled about 1,500 miles in just 10 days! We are so very pleased that it came equipped with a stove, water/sink, fridge and bedding! Perfect for a couple (like us) or a small family. We give this company 5 stars! WHEN we come back, we'll defiantly be renting from Get Lost Travel Vans again!
