KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mount Vernon

  • Mount Vernon is a city that is rich in natural beauty, and while alternative transportation is available, renting Mount Vernon car rentals can provide significant advantages. Public transportation in Mount Vernon is limited, and renting a car makes getting around much more convenient and faster. Renting cheap car rentals in Mount Vernon will provide the opportunity to visit popular destinations, such as the Anacortes Ferry Terminal, Whidbey Island, and the San Juan Islands, on your own time without the need to rely on public transport schedules.
  • Bellingham International Airport (BLI) is the closest airport to Mount Vernon, located about 29 miles south of it. To get Mount Vernon car rentals at BLI, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance with a rental car company. The rental car offices are located in the Car Rental Building, which is adjacent to the airport terminal. There is a covered walkway that connects the two facilities. Additionally, there is a shuttle service that runs between the airport terminal and the rental car offices. It is operated by the rental car companies and is free of charge. The shuttles are marked with the logos of the companies they serve.
  • One thing to be aware of when driving cheap car rentals in Mount Vernon is that it can be quite busy during peak hours, especially around the Skagit Valley College and the Cascade Mall. Drivers in Mount Vernon generally follow the rules of the road and are courteous to one another. However, there is a fair amount of bicycle traffic in the city center and on some of the main roads, so it's important to watch out for cyclists and give them the space they need. In addition, some of the main roads in the city have special turn lanes that can be used during certain hours of the day, so it's important to obey the signs to avoid causing traffic problems.
  • Mount Vernon has peak traffic periods during the morning and evening rush hours, which typically occur between 7 am-9 am and 4 pm-6 pm when people are commuting to and from work. During rush hour, the main roads in the downtown area, such as Highway 536 and Highway 20, can become congested, with slow-moving traffic and frequent stopping. Furthermore, the weather in the city can be unpredictable and rainy at times, particularly during the fall and winter months, which could create hazards on the road if drivers are not used to driving in wet conditions.

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.
