KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Anacortes

  • Using car rentals in Anacortes has more benefits than using public transport. Car rentals offer flexibility in choosing your route, schedule and exploring multiple destinations. It provides enhanced comfort as you have ample storage place, can travel with family or partner, and can control certain features, including temperature in the car. With Anacortes car rentals, you can explore scenic places, including Washington Park, Mt Erie Park, and Cap Sante Park.
  • You will fly into Bellingham International Airport (BLI) if visiting Anacortes. BLI offers several car rental companies with on-site counters in its main terminal next to the baggage claim area. The car rental companies must ascertain information to ensure your car rental worthiness, including presenting them with proof of return airline flight that matches your rental.

You can practice this by yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks, following traffic rules, adhering to traffic lights and speeds, and using turn signals.

The Enterprise on Iowa St doesn't have shuttles running to and from Bellingham airport. That is the only reason for the 4 (not 5 stars). They are different from the Enterprise that is located at the airport. However, there is a significant difference in the cost of rental. I saved a considerable amount by renting from the one on Iowa St (6 miles from airport). Only had to schedule/locate taxi and Uber services myself. It is not their fault for not having a shuttle service to the airport. There is some kind of agreement that prevents them from servicing the airport. Other than that, they are excellent.
