What Bellingham Clients Say

Common Questions About Bellingham Service
How far in advance should I book for Bellingham pickup?
We recommend booking at least 24-48 hours in advance since we dispatch vehicles from the Seattle area. For WWU move-in/move-out weekends or holiday travel, book as early as possible. Same-day service may be available but isn't guaranteed due to the distance involved.
What's the cost for Bellingham to SeaTac Airport?
Pricing depends on your specific pickup location and vehicle choice. The 100+ mile journey is priced fairly considering the round trip our drivers make. We offer transparent flat rates with no surge pricing, even during busy travel seasons. Call for a quote based on your exact needs.
Do you provide local service within Bellingham?
We specialize in long-distance transportation from Bellingham to other cities. For short trips within Bellingham itself, local taxi or rideshare services would be more appropriate. We're ideal for airport transfers, Seattle-area trips, and cross-border travel where our premium service and experienced drivers add real value.
Can you cross the border to Vancouver?
Yes, we regularly provide cross-border service between Bellingham and Vancouver, including YVR Airport transfers. Our drivers are experienced with border procedures and maintain proper commercial documentation. We factor in current border wait times when scheduling pickups.
What about severe weather conditions?
We operate year-round and our drivers are experienced with Northwest weather. During winter conditions, we use appropriate vehicles and allow extra time.
