Dalton Highway Car & Truck Rental Companies
It is important to note that most vehicle rental companies do not allow their vehicles to travel on the Dalton Highway. Following is a list I have compiled of rental companies who do allow this; however, they are a bit more costly than your general vehicle rental companies. Also, very importantly, I highly recommend that you reserve your rental many months before your hunting dates. In my research, I have found that rental rates for Dalton Highway SUVs and Trucks generally range from $140 - $200 per day during the months of August and September. **You will need to contact each company for a current list of prices, dates and vehicles available.
