GoNorth in the Yukon: a depot in Whitehorse, on the road to Alaska
In Canada, GoNorth Alaska has just one address: its depot in Whitehorse, 115 Mt Sima Road. The Yukon capital is the main stop on the Alaska Highway and the starting point of the Klondike Highway, which heads north to Dawson City. For a rental company whose main branches are in Anchorage and Fairbanks, it is the Canadian gateway to the Far North. The depot is not at the airport: a taxi will get you there.
On 20 October 2026, CoolDrive recorded 29 offers in Whitehorse over 14 days, for departures tested from January to October 2027. Five-seat 4x4 SUVs open the range at €106 a day, the 4x4 pick-up and the seven-seat SUV are around €146, and the fifteen-seat minibus is over €235. Truck campers range from €167 for the Scout Adventure Silver to €231 for the Gold, and the MC4 and MC6 overcabs from €197 to €230. These motorhomes appear on only one of the dates tested, whereas the SUVs are available on every one.
All the offers recorded show an excess of about €1,782. The included mileage does not appear in our Whitehorse surveys: it is stated in the details of each offer, and it matters, as Dawson City is some 530 km away and Anchorage more than 1,000 km.
Our view: Whitehorse is a rare departure point for exploring the Yukon, Kluane and the Klondike, with truck campers built for the long roads of the North. You have to accept a single depot, motorhomes available within a narrow window and a high excess, and check in the offer whether driving into Alaska is allowed.

GoNorth Alaska: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
GoNorth Alaska is ideal if…
- You want to roam the Yukon, from Kluane National Park to the Klondike goldfields
- You dream of driving between the Yukon and Alaska, if the offer allows it
- You are going in winter to chase the northern lights with a 4x4 SUV and staying in hotels
- There are two or three of you and you want a compact four-wheel-drive truck camper
GoNorth Alaska is not ideal if…
- You want a motorhome on any date: our surveys only show them within a short window
- You plan to cross Canada from west to east: GoNorth has no other depot in the country
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with GoNorth Alaska
-
Get your eTA before boarding
Visa-exempt travellers flying to Canada must normally hold an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), applied for online on the Canadian government website. If your route takes you into Alaska, the entry formalities for the United States are separate: check them too before you leave.
-
Fill the tank in every village
Between Whitehorse and Dawson City, the Klondike Highway passes through only a few small communities, such as Carmacks or Pelly Crossing. On the Dempster Highway, beyond Dawson, fuel stations are even scarcer. Fill up whenever you get the chance and keep water and supplies on board.
-
Identify the gravel roads before setting off
The Dempster Highway, towards the Arctic Circle, and the Top of the World Highway, which reaches Alaska via a border crossing open only in summer, have long unpaved stretches. Before adding them to your plans, check that the rental agreement allows your vehicle to be driven on them.
-
Respect the wildlife
Bears, moose and caribou often cross the road, especially at dawn and dusk. Slow down in wooded areas, never leave food outside at your overnight stop and keep rubbish inside the vehicle: it is the rule at Yukon campgrounds.
What travellers ask
Your questions about GoNorth Alaska
Where do you collect a GoNorth vehicle in Canada?
At the Whitehorse depot, 115 Mt Sima Road, GoNorth’s only address in the country. Whitehorse has flights to the major cities of western Canada; as the depot is not at the airport, plan a taxi and set a handover time that leaves some leeway after landing.
What budget should you plan for hiring from GoNorth in Whitehorse?
Over 14 days, the surveys of 20 October 2026 show about €106 to €138 a day for a five-seat 4x4 SUV, €167 to €231 for a truck camper and €197 to €230 for an overcab. A Bronze truck camper at €175 a day thus comes to nearly €2,450 for two weeks. Your dates will change these amounts.
Can you reach Alaska with a vehicle hired in Whitehorse?
Skagway is about 175 km away via the South Klondike Highway, and the Alaska Highway runs on to Tok and then Fairbanks. Entering the United States, however, depends on the rental company’s rules for each vehicle. Read the offer’s conditions, and search for a return in Anchorage or Fairbanks to find out whether a one-way hire exists for your dates.
Truck camper or overcab for a trip to the Yukon?
The truck camper puts a living unit with three berths on a four-wheel-drive pick-up: it suits two or three travellers who want to go anywhere. The MC4 overcab sleeps four, the MC6 five. In our surveys, a Silver overcab costs roughly the same as a Silver truck camper.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — GoNorth Alaska motorhome hire in Canada
How do you book GoNorth from Whitehorse?
Enter Whitehorse and your dates: the available GoNorth vehicles appear with their price in euros, mandatory fees included, alongside the other rental companies present in Canada. Once the booking is made, our experts help you set the handover time at the depot and answer your questions about the itinerary.
What excess and deposit apply in Whitehorse?
The 29 offers recorded in Whitehorse show an excess of about €1,782, whatever the vehicle. A deposit is generally taken on a credit card at handover: check its limit before you leave. Options to reduce the excess are listed in the offer.
When should you go to the Yukon with GoNorth?
Summer, from June to early September, brings very long days and all roads open: it is motorhome season. From autumn to late winter, the dark nights are ideal for watching the northern lights, but temperatures can drop below −30 °C: an SUV and nights in hotels are then more sensible.
