Car rental agencies are not available in Port Protection. The community is isolated, not connected by road to any other towns, and has a very limited system of local paths, making rental cars unnecessary and impractical.
There is no public transportation system, such as buses or scheduled ferries, within or connected to Port Protection. The seaplane base itself is the primary transportation link to the outside world, primarily connecting to Ketchikan.
