If you're in Alaska during the summer, you have quite a few options to get around.
State operated ferries can move both people and vehicles around localities.
Taxis and water taxis both operate with water taxis available for short trip hires as well for dropping off campers and kayakers.
Buses function within the cities and interstate buses wil ply you from Anchorage to Seward, Homer, Denali and Fairbanks.
If you have the stamina, cycle up the Alaskan highway into the state or get dropped off by ferry or buses at a chosen place and cycle where you please in Alaska. You'll find many bike shops for repairs and supplies. It's a lovely way to see the countryside.
Of course you can also rent cars, but you need to book them in advance since supply is limited. If you want to drive yourself off highways and into the Arctic Circle or other spots, you will have to rent a SUV in Fairbanks since most car rental places only give use of their vehicles on paved highways.
