GenghisQuan Posted May 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi there, I'm planning to rent a car in Skagway and drive up the Klondike Highway to Carcross on the 7th. Forecast is showing chance of light snow in Fraser and Bennett. Anyone know if this is an issue that requires me to potentially need to request a bigger car or snow chains or some other type of safety gear? Or do I just need to drive a little more carefully than usual? On a side note, anyone know whether any other ships arrive there on the 7th? Thanks.

oaktreerb Posted May 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2019 You will need to ask the car rental employees about road conditions on the day you rent the car. Conditions are subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted May 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2019 There isn't going to be any issue. and a regular car rental will do just fine. It is already way to warm for any snow accumulation. And certainly no "jeep" is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenghisQuan Posted May 22, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thanks all, Just updating to note that the Chevy...some kind of small car was sufficient for all our needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
