If you plan on exploring the more remote areas of Alaska, you might want to consider a car rental in the form of a four wheel drive vehicle. However, if you are just visiting Anchorage or Juneau, it's probably not necessary to rent a car. It'll be much easier and cheaper to use public transportation instead. The main cities accessible by car are Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks. If you are in one of those cities, it's highly recommended that you go for cheap rental cars instead of taking public transportation or using a shuttle service. Some of the benefits of going for a car rental while in Alaska include being able to stop wherever you want, whenever you want.
