I'd not bring a new car here anyway. The roads and dust put your suspension to the test. You can always pick up a used car here after you arrive. There's always something for sale around to get you from point A to B.

Probably most people who don't have cars take a cab. This LA Times article will help explain it:

Hey everyone. I'm relocating to Bethel in mid July with my three children. My husband is already there and has already started work. We have a son that is 10 and two daughters ages 6 and 2. My husband keeps calling me and adding more to the list of items to send up. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of the least expensive (I don't care how long it takes to get there) system of getting items up there. We are moving from Montana so thats where we would be shipping from. He says we need towels and blankets and bedding and pots and pans... pretty much everything that is a necessity. He is also requesting that I send dry food up. As we don't have much money I'm unsure of how much I will be able to send. Any ideas on what the most important items would be? Any advice is appreciated!! Thanks so much!

If you posted this last month I could have brought them up with me! I was just in Montana, I drove my parents down and back from Anchorage. Just ship them through the post office, would be the cheapest way to ship them up from there. Whenever my brother wants salmon, we ups it down to him.

Not sure about the bigger items, but dried food...can stuff in post office box ...priority mail one rate box...whatever you can get in you pay what the cost is...I can send from here to lower 48 for about 11.00 (little less). As far as towels, blankets, etc...how are you going, coming up here..driving part way, flying, etc...
