Our History
Great Alaskan Holidays has its roots dating back to 1985 when it was founded by Mr. Daryl Bennett. The company originally operated with only 5 motorhomes on a dirt parking lot on a side street adjacent to Anchorage’s airport. The company now operates out of a state-of-the-art 27,000 square foot facility located on 8-acres of property conveniently located 12 minutes away from Ted Stevens International Airport. Entering its 40th year of being in business, Great Alaskan Holidays is now Alaska’s largest and most reputable RV rental and sales dealership.
