Hi Ho Spev:

I'm sitting here with the phone book open to RV rentals. I also looked
under auto rentals, van rentals, etc. There are lots of vans, campers,
and motorhomes for rent...but no EV's. We had some friends come over from
the Old Country last summer. They rented a small car to do some road
tripping in...very expensive! It was more expensive to rent a car here in
Alaska than for us to rent a car in Italy; and Italy's generally thought
of as having the highest rates! We looked into van rentals for them
before they arrived. The prices were out of control! Many places give
discounts for booking several months in advance though. Maybe it's still
early enough. Let me know if you need some phone numbers. I called the VW
dealer (Joke - HA) here too...Nope. They don't know of anyone renting
EV's up here. Why don't you come up and buy one and drive it home?
