fourdarlings Posted June 8, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2006 After reading all the great reports about Emerald Lake I booked a car through Avis only to read on the boards that as Canadian residents we can't cross the border back into Canada driving a US plated vehicle. Just plain stupid in my opinion-not as if I am going to stay in the Yukon and leave my ship. Is it worth still renting a car? Is there enough to see within Alaska around Skagway?

Yukon Posted June 8, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Is it worth still renting a car? Is there enough to see within Alaska around Skagway? No, it's not - there's only a few miles of road. You can't even go to Dyea, as it's a gravel road that Avis specifically says you can't drive on. :( Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy2Day Posted June 8, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2006 On the other hand, nothing prevents you from riding in a car across the border. Perhaps you can pair up with someone on your roll call. I did this once myself. I had a car reserved in Sidney, NS. I met a couple at breakfast that morning. They had no plans yet and thought my plans sounded interesting, so we ended up sharing the cost of the car. Rather spur-of-the-moment, but it worked out well for me.

Budget Queen Posted June 8, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I agree, it is not worth it just to drive around Skagway. I suggest you head over to your roll call board and post a share option. Someone is bound to be interested?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourdarlings Posted June 8, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That would be ok but there is no roll call thread at all for our cruise :-( Because we did not have to reserve with credit card I may keep the booking and see what happens once we are on board the ship.

Joy2Day Posted June 8, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Especially if you have Yukon's mile-by-mile guide in hand. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fti Posted June 8, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That would be ok but there is no roll call thread at all for our cruise :-( You can fix that easy enough - start a roll call for your cruise :) Eventually people will respond. I started one for our cruise and eventually people started posting. Now we have 3-4 different groups/families posting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
