Probably with Enterprise but Avis had decent prices last fall for summer 2010. As mentioned above, booking early is the biggest factor with rental car prices in Anchorage, whether it is a "mistake" or not.

Why don't you try calling Delta? My guess is that since all flights are now operated by PenAir that you can't use DL miles for that anymore.
I am flying to ADQ later this month using DL miles and a stop in ANC on the way there, but there are only a limited number of flights you can take (operated by Alaska Air). Another great place to fly is AKN, gateway to Katmai National Park and Brooks Camp.

I do that all the time actually. DL allows one free stop en route. Even better than your award is what I did:
MSP-NYC for $125, then:
EWR-ANC (stop)-MSP(stop)-EWR for 25K miles in Y
ANC-MSP(stop)-MUC(stop)-MSP(stop 1 night)-ANC for 100K miles in F/J
So for 125K miles I have two trips to EWR, two trips to ANC (one in F) and one trip to MUC (in J).
