We loved using the Subaru camper on our Alaska trip! It made us feel like locals! It was the perfect way to explore. We only slept in the tent a couple of nights, but were shocked with how warm and dry it kept us, even when it rained most of the night. Cynthia was so thorough and helpful, it felt like borrowing from a (very prepared) friend. We’d absolutely book again if we came back (and hopefully have the courage to camp more and get more use out of it!)

We had a wonderful time in Alaska with the rig! We had some wet weather and we’re able to stay dry with the set up. Would highly recommend, was definitely the way we wanted to experience Alaska as avid campers. Thanks for keeping great communication throughout the whole rental!

Renting this Subaru was a great decision when we flew into Anchorage. It had everything we needed and was very convenient. We camped a couple of nights in the rooftop tent and it was very comfortable. HIghly recommend looking into renting this if you're going to Alaska on a camping/road trip.

The rig was great. We were 2 persons and used it for 10 days and drove 1400 miles. Everything worked well and the rig was fully equipped with everything we needed. Good communication with Cynthia. Recommended.

Even ziplocks and trash bags included. Easy to put up and take down. Perfect for 2 people not 4.
Bring your own towels.

My husband and I used Cynthia’s Subaru Forester (“The Rig”) for about 7 days. We picked it up in Anchorage, drove to Denali and camped for several days, and then took it down to Seward, with a couple stops (e.g. Talkeetna, Hope) along the way. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Cynthia provided detailed and helpful information for how to set up and take down the tent, which is attached to the roof rack and remains in an elevated position during use. We spent several nights in the tent, many of which dipped below freezing and some of which rained, and were comfortable and dry. In addition to sleeping supplies, she provided all the other necessary supplies for camping and hiking (including cooking essentials, lamps and charging supplies, and bear and bug spray) and for making sure the car was running properly. Having everything we needed for a complete camping experience in addition to sleeping in the rig was a huge bonus and ideal for us since we were traveling from out of state and could not easily transport our own supplies by plane. Cynthia was responsive to any email or call we made and was very easy to work with. We would definitely recommend renting from her and will consider doing so the next time we are in Alaska!

Cynthia was quick to respond to all questions and very helpful with my trip. The camper was a perfect way to visit Alaska. I'm so happy I found outdoorsy and chose Cynthia's rig!!

Thelavan met our needs and exceeded our expectations. The car ran great, kitchen was clutch, and the tent held up well to a variety of weather conditions on our trip. Set up/take down is pretty quick.

Cynthia was a breeze to work with. Her communication was always quick and helpful and the rig came with absolutely everything we needed for our two week trip. She even went to far as to put baby wipes in the car because she knew we had a 3 month old with us. The cartop camper was a hit with my 4 year old as well and the car itself worked perfectly. I’d recommend this over a rental car 100% of the time.

I rented this vehicle for my husband and son to explore the Kenai Peninsula. It was equipped with every camping amenity that you would need. This worked out great for us because they were flying and wouldn’t have been able to bring any of that stuff with them. Cynthia was very helpful with trip suggestions and ideas. The only downside was that the dishes had not been cleaned from the previous guest. Cynthia was gracious and allowed us a late return and extra miles if they were needed.

We had a fantastic experience and cannot recommend this highly enough. Cynthia did a great job taking us through everything and teaching us how to use and set up all the gear, and made sure we were comfortable before we hit the road. Everything we could have needed was included in the trailer, and it was incredibly easy to drive with. Communication with Cynthia was easy and prompt, and she had a lot of great tips and information about Alaska in general. We will definitely be rebooking again the next time we visit!

This is a fantastic rig to get the full Alaska experience. Everything you need for “dry camping” is included.
The tent is great, no leaks and super easy to setup and take down.
New sleeping bags and a complete camp kitchen made the campsite very comfortable.
The car drives great, easy to handle at highway speeds and very convenient for parking and getting in/out of tight places.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience renting Cynthia's Subaru!! We had the hardest time finding a rental car/van for Alaska, and when we found this option, we were so excited. We couldn't be happier with how everything worked out. Cynthia was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to help us out. The Overland Car Tent was extremely easy to use and quick to set up and take down. Way more comfortable than expected too! No sleeping pad necessary. Cynthia provided everything we could need - bear spray, sleeping bags, kitchen supplies, the Mile Post guidebook, etc. Bring an aux cord if you want to plug in your phone! Otherwise, there are some nice CDs in the car for your listening pleasure. We loved Alaska and cannot wait to return soon! Definitely would rent again. Thanks, Cynthia!!

Cynthia was great to work with and the rig was perfect for our week-long Alaskan getaway! Cynthia makes sure to include everything you need for a comfortable and worry-free trip and the tent itself is incredibly easy to set up. We loved being able to camp wherever we felt like it. Cynthia even shared her favorite secluded camping spot on the beach which had stunning views, bald eagles, and barely any other campers. We had a blast and can't wait to come back to Alaska.
