hunterjackson Posted September 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I had an issue finding minivans in Skagway. The Avis site said that none were available for next season. I called the Avis facility in Skagway, and they were able to reserve one for me for next May, send me a confirmation, and give me a killer deal (lower than Sourdough). Great service too. If you need something specific, just call them and they can help. In Juneau, It was easily arranged through a local company (Juneau Car rental co). Nice guy, played football for my college team and wife is from the next town over from me. Once again, great phone service and great rates! Just a little info if you need something specific that the websites don't show as available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have called the Skagway Avis location several times in the past few months....they told me to call back later. So.....I assume that now is the time to call them? I will try again during their business hours this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaki Posted October 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2014 No, they are still open. I called Skagway Avis and the call was routed to Sitka Avis. I made my reservation for June 2015. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skagway office is still open and they are renting cars. You have a reservation- all that matters. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
