Moving to Alaska this month.. Questions about temporary transportation? -

My husband and I are moving at the end of the month to Anchorage Alaska. We are pcsing to Elmendorf AFB. We will be flying and having our vehicle shipped. My understanding is that it takes 7 days to 30 days to recieve your vehicle. Well in the mean time, how would we go about transportation. Would a rental be the best, or is there any other solutions. A rental will just be soooo pricy.(if it takes 30 days) Any sugestions, other than buying a car, or are those really my two options. Thanks

since youre going to Elmendorf, Anchorage has a pretty decent public transportation system, but that wont take you too far out of the city so it depends what you need.
