I'm about to fly into SeaTac tomorrow at midnight. I need to be at the Glacier Ranger Station on 8/10 at 8AM. Rental cars are $1000 and I really only need the car for a day. Can anyone help a guy out? Really don't want to waste that money. Don't seem to be any taxis or public transportation that go that way.

Have you tried Uber? They seem to be operational in most major cities now.

It's only on demand. My concern being that I'll fly into Seattle, ask for a 3 hour ride at midnight and nobody will show up...never actually used Uber before, how reliable is it?

Have you checked with taxi or limo services at the airport. $1000, that's a lot of money for a ride!

In hind site you might have planned your arrival for something other than midnight. Probably could have gotten a bus to Bellingham and them grabbed a taxi / hitched. With that check with private vans / airport transportation services. You might pay a couple hundred bucks at that time to Bellingham.

I don't know how people are in Seattle, but when I was in Houston, my friends and I caught a ride from the club at 3 in the AM!

Ok, found a ride from Bellingham. Now i just need to get there. Car rental for $100 is way more reasonable (Uber was more expensive). Anyone want to give me a ride to Bellingham at midnight? If it's cheaper than $100 I'll pay it!
