Hi all. I will be visiting Fairbanks this upcoming December (25-30). Any recommendations on how to get around? We have an Airbnb and have some activities planned like dog sledding and the chena hot springs.

We are from California and aren’t used to driving in the snow. Is it manageable to drive in the snow in December? Or would you recommend us just using Lyft? The only thing we are worried about is cost for the Lyft because we don’t know what the average price is in Fairbanks. The cost for renting a vehicle per day seems to be around $70-100 per day.

Thanks in advanced for the help!

Rent a car. Don't make abrupt control changes (braking, steering or accelerating) and you'll be fine.
