Über Jin Chen

Like many stories you will hear while in Alaska - I moved to Alaska for college, fell in love with the State and stayed. That was over 15 years ago! Alaska has so much to offer - snow capped mountain, best air quality, beautiful ocean views, wild animal, endless ridges and the most welcoming people you will encounter while traveling. I hope I can live up to the State's hospitality standards and be part of your unforgettable journey. We are a team of travel enthusiasts who love exploring the wild outdoors and experiencing new adventures. We believe that the best way to explore Alaska is by traveling in a comfortable, reliable and easy to drive campervans, which is why we created our rental business. All our vans are converted from high roof Mercedes Benz Sprinters and high roof Ford Transits, they are custom-made to fit particular traveler’s needs, ensuring that they are equipped with everything you need for an unforgettable journey. We take pride in offering high-quality, reliable vehicles that are perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers. At Vanderlust, we are committed to providing exceptional customer service. Our team is always available to answer your questions and help you plan your trip, from recommending scenic routes to suggesting camping spots. We understand that planning a trip can be stressful, which is why we strive to make the rental process as easy as possible. Whether you are planning a week-long road trip or a month-long adventure, our campervans are the perfect way to explore the breathtaking beauty of Alaska. We are excited to share our love of travel with you and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

I would definitely recommend Vanderlust Vans to whoever is willing to travel Alaska in RV.

We loved the van! It was the perfect way to explore Alaska. We had a few minor issues with the electrical system, but Jin and her team were so helpful and supportive, and even let us keep it for an extra night to make up for our troubles. Would gladly rent from them again!

Jin Chen canceled the booking 1 day before departure. This is an automated posting.

We unfortunately had to cancel the booking due to a repair needed to be done on the van. The substitute van we offered to the renter didn't meet their needs.

Fabulous experience. Dolphins- the name of our Sprintervan camper was perfect for a trip in Alaska where everything is a long drive from everything else. While a little expensive - everything in Alaska is. The one challenge was the cassette toilet - but thankfully alternate solutions to that particular issue were easily available. Jin’s availability to respond to the (minor) questions we had along the way was stellar.

Several of the latches on the kitchen drawers do not keep them closed. Drawers open an shut going around corners. Very annoying

Jin was great to work with! We had a few minor issues with some of the heating tanks in the van working, but it was easily resolved and we made sure Jin was aware for the next customers. We had an incredible experience with this van!

Our trip was awesome! Explored some of Anchorage and Girdwood. Even though we visited in early April, we still had a blast! We are excited to rent this van again and do some more roadtripping in the summer.

We had a great time renting Batman for a week! It was well equipped to live in and very cozy. Only complaint is some of the window covers have this ring and suction cup system and some of the rings were ripped off and it was very hard to get the existing rings onto the suctions and then the covers still didn’t stay up well. Some of them are magnetic which worked great. Other than that, we had an awesome time and loved the van!
