Top tips for hiring a car at Bismarck airport
- A nice feature of car rental at Bismarck Airport (BIS) is that there are three major rental car companies that all have locations on-site at the airport. Travelers will find the customer service counters for these rental car agencies in the terminal building next to the baggage claim area. All the cars that are available for rent are parked in the lot just outside of the baggage claim area.
- This airport does offer a few options for transportation from the airport to the center of the city. This includes bus and taxi service that is available. The challenge with taking a bus is it if you have a large group of travelers or have a lot of luggage this can be a somewhat troubling method of travel. Taxis are a good choice for convenience but the cost of taking this method of transportation can start to add up quickly. That is what makes car rental at Bismarck Airport such a good combination of great price and convenience.
- Turning your rental car rental at Bismarck Airport is easy. As you approach the airport on University Drive, you'll see ample signage taking you to Terminal Boulevard. Once you are on Terminal Boulevard proceed to the parking lots that are adjacent to the terminal building and park your car in an appropriate stall for your rental car company. Once you're done parking note your mileage and your gas level, collect up your belongings, and then lock the car and drop your keys and your contract in the provided dropbox for your rental car company.
- The airport in Bismarck notes that some of the busiest times you will find here are early in the morning between 5 am and 8 am and then again in the mid-afternoon hours from around 2 pm to 5 pm. During these times when the airport is busier, you may experience longer wait times to pick up a Bismarck Airport car rental. That is why it is so important that you book a reservation with one of these rental companies before your flight to make sure there's a car waiting for you when you arrive.
- Book your car hire at Bismarck airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
Our flights were rerouted so we had to change from our original destination. Our first reservation which was booked online with you would have picked up Saturday night at the Airport. When our flight arrived and we got to the rental car area about 9:15 your area was closed. We called the 800 number to be told the reservation we made could only be reached by private plane so we couldn't get our car. ???? This should have been made clear online. We were told a car now would be about 6 times the amount we first counted on. We went on to our motel and got online where we were able to find one at a more reasonable rate. We picked it up the next day.2.0 Poor

Dec 2018
Pros:
Sam was extremely helpful and made the pickup and drop off experiences the best I have ever had from a car rental company. The car was excellent. Even though enterprise is listed as an off airport shuttle in Bismarck, it is not. It’s located in baggage claim and the cars are right outside the door.Cons:
Nothing. The pickup and drop off were both very quick and everything went smoothly.4.8 Mediocre
Dec 2016
Pros:
The car was pretty goodCons:
Whoever manages this place needs to hire more people so when flights get delayed the poor counter person doesn't get slammed. This is North Dakota. In Winter. Flights will get delayed and it's unfair to everyone to have one single person working the desk and 30 people waiting in line from 3 flights. Enterprise is generally a pretty good franchise but this one really needs to hire more people, as does the airport.10.0 Wonderful
