Top tips for hiring a car at Bellingham airport

  • Car rentals at Bellingham Airport (BLI) enable visitors to reach various off-road destinations in Bellingham. For instance, Squalicum Creek Park is one of the locations you might think about visiting with your Bellingham Airport car rental and enjoying some time outdoors. In addition to allowing access to locations that are inaccessible by public transportation, renting a car is less expensive overall in comparison to the cost of using taxis.
  • The process of renting a car at Bellingham Airport is easy, thanks to the online booking option available across all the car rentals. By booking your car in advance through KAYAK, you will only be presenting your documents at the car rental counter and pick the keys to your car. In addition to reducing the time that you spend at the airport before getting your car, the online booking option offered by car rentals at Bellingham Airport ensures that you do not miss the car type of your preference.
  • When returning your rental car at Bellingham Airport, you should remember the working hours of your respective car company and the flexibility of the return policy. If you rent a car from Avis, Enterprise, or Budget, you will be able to return the car even after the drop-off hours, which are normally from 6 am to 9 pm. Those dropping off their cars outside working hours just park the car, lock its doors, and thereafter leave the keys in the agency's drop box.
  • Bellingham Airport is busiest on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The number of people arriving or leaving via BLI on these days is higher than usual. Similarly, the number of people seeking to pick up or drop off their cars at the various car rentals at Bellingham Airport is high. Consequently, you will be delayed when getting services from any of the car rentals here.

Friendly, helpful staff, offered but didn't try to push extras, were clear about expectations and prices. I switched to a smaller car halfway through and was able to get an EV for not much more. I loved that you have EVs for reasonable prices and look forward to renting them in the future.

Overall very happy. Car was clean, available when I arrived a little early and staff was courteous. Check-in and check-out were simple and quick.

Pros:

The mini van was what I had reserved, ran well, was full of fuel.

Cons:

It could have been ready on time ( was 50 minutes late) could have been more thoroughly cleaned (candy wrapper on floor, road dust visible in interior). The Assistant manager said she had personally helped clean the vehicle as it was not ready on time. I’m sure she did. I’m also sure I was given a vehicle that had not been thoroughly readied for pick up, which is quite serious given we are in a Global health crises And that Enterprise promises rigorous cleaning of a car given their responsibility to do all possible to reduce contamination between renters.

The check out staff was very friendly. We did not see anyone when we dropped off the car.

Cons:

We probably paid too much for paying for a half tank of gas before taking car. I’m sure we didn’t use that much.

When we arrived at 3pm, the associate said "We were expecting you at noon. Let's make sure we still have a car available." What? I paid in full and included my flight information on my reservation. I think the time defaulted to 12pm and I didn't know to change it. The car was there and everything was fine, but why would you say that and cause unneeded angst when travel is already so difficult.

Pick up was a disaster - My debit card was not acceptable, only a credit card could be used which had not been made clear. I was stranded at a provincial airport and no effort was made to help sort out the situation. My daughter in law had to leave work and travel some 45 minutes out of her way, rent the card on her credit card, name me as an additional driver - more expense, no sympathy or penitence from Alamo. Drop off, completely different - when asked if everything had gone smoothly I mentioned the difficulties I had and the Alamo guys could not have been nicer. they were apologetic, clear, waived the additional charges and allowed me to pay with my debit card anyway. Jesse was my first contact - thank you for making it all better.

Pros:

Nothing - because you show up, and no one is at the desk and then you are stuck with no car. This is the 2nd time Alamo does it. Learned my lesson - NEVER RENT WITH THEM!

Cons:

If someone was actually there to give me a car, that would be a plus - so I don’t have to be in a city with NO RENTAL CAR. Showing up for work is a plus in my book guys.

I did not receive the car. They told me the reservation was cancelled one Day before pick up date. All service was terrible and nobody helped me, i had a kid a oke year old baby with me. I talked to priceline and they just told me the reservation was still open but they didnt do anything either. It was frustrating not getting any type of support from anyone. They just told me to go rent somewhere else.

The pick up at Bellingham Airport was easy and the person working the counter was delightful. We also had a very easy time going to a second Budget location along our route in Longwood, CO to add an additional driver when we had to pick up a family member last minute. The car itself was great and we are really glad we ended up with the model we got (GMC Acadia). The same cannot be said for the return in Phliadelphia. The Budget office was in the lobby of a hotel in a very busy part of town with absolutely no signage, no instructions on where to put the car, and no way to contact the office directly. To return the car we had to park the car on the street, walk around the hotel to find the office, and then go back to the car, drive down into a parking garage, call the agent, have them lift the gate to the garage, and then leave the car in the lower level of the hotel's parking garage. Without getting out of the car and wandering around, we would have had NO idea how or where to return the car. Absolute nightmare, but nothing less than I expect from Philadelphia.

Our flight was late getting in, and instead of someone staying, several of us were left stranded, and the one hotel near by was sold out. This was the worst experience. We had to pay for a 3 hr Uber since all hotels were sold out within all surrounding cities due to a Taylor Swift concert.
