WOW, 5 stars truly is not close to enough for our experience with HUGO & Kevin. Hugo had EVERYTHING we needed for a week of exploring Alaska: cookware, propane, bear spray, coffee, clean sheets / comfortable bed & pillows, and so much more. HUGO was so clean and comfortable. We were able to explore so many parts of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula without worrying about being stuck in one place. Every single day we would…

This was the dreamiest Alaskan road trip I could’ve ever imagined, and that’s 100% due to renting from Look Like A Local! Hugo had everything we needed and was built out in a super organized way. Definitely the cleanest / most efficient camper van build I’ve ever seen! The bed fit the 3 of us comfortably and we were able to stay warm with the diesel heater. The kitchen setup allowed us to cook 19 out of 21 of our…

This is the first time to use a camper van. And I can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience it was for me and my girlfriend. There was plenty of room and Kevin had everything dialed in for our adventure. Small touches like having the Milepost and a 2024 Alaska State parks sticker wasn’t lost on us. He was very responsive with anything we had questions about during our trip. Thanks Kevin for being an awesome…

Kevin from Look Like a Local was fantastic. We didn’t want for rent a car and make hotel reservations only to be tied to an itinerary. We rented HUGO the sprinter van. HUGO was the perfect way to see Alaska. We went everywhere and explored more than we imagined we would. HUGO had everything we needed, comfortable, roomy for 2, easy to drive and very capable whether we were on a dirt road or parking lot. Kevin was a…

We loved our trip with Hugo! This was our third campervan we’ve rented in Alaska and Hugo has everything you need without all the unnecessary extras (which makes living out of a van much simpler!!!). The kitchen set up was great and the dual ceiling fans made the perfect amount of air flow to keep comfortable at night. There was plenty of storage & hooks for all of our clothes, jackets, toiletries & pantry items. We…
