FAQ – RV & campervan rental in Whitehorse

Can I drive my rental vehicle on gravel roads? Yes, but with caution. You may drive on all public roads shown on the rental company’s map. Private logging roads are not permitted. Certain remote routes — such as the Dempster Highway, the Canol Road, or the Dalton Highway — require prior approval. You are responsible for any damage caused by gravel, so drive carefully. Some of our partners offer additional insurance, which we strongly recommend in the northern territories.

Are there enough gas stations in the Yukon? Yes, but they are more spread out than in southern Canada. It is advisable to fill up as soon as possible, especially before leaving Whitehorse or the main highways.

Can I cross the border into Alaska with my rental vehicle? Yes, most rental companies allow travel to Alaska. Just check the terms of your contract and bring your travel documents.

Are the roads open year-round? Major roads such as the Alaska Highway are open year-round, but some secondary roads may be closed in winter or spring due to weather conditions.

Do I need a special license to drive a motorhome in the Yukon? No, a standard driver's license is sufficient for most rental vehicles.
