Bellingham is about 105 miles from Sea-Tac, 2 h – 2 h 40 up I-5 — a $329 flat price for the whole vehicle, confirmed before you book. The scheduled airporter shuttles run this corridor per seat, on their timetable, with stops along the way; this is the other kind of ride — your vehicle, your departure time, door to door with no stops that are not yours.
It is a regular run for Western Washington University families, groups connecting through Sea-Tac after a long-haul flight, and travellers heading on to the San Juans ferries or the border. An SUV, a 10- or 12-seat van or a 14-seat Sprinter takes the whole party and the luggage in one booking at one price.
Give a flight number and the pickup tracks the aircraft — a late arrival moves the car, not your plans, and the first fifteen minutes of wait are free.

Common questions
How much is a private car from Sea-Tac to Bellingham?
$329 flat for a sedan, per vehicle — not per person — confirmed before you book. Larger vehicles for a group add a fixed amount; the full ladder is on the rates page.
How long is the drive from Sea-Tac to Bellingham?
About 105 miles and 2 h – 2 h 40 up I-5 in normal traffic.
How is this different from the scheduled airporter shuttle?
The scheduled services sell seats on a timetable with stops en route. This is a private vehicle: it leaves when your flight lands, drives direct, and drops at your door. For three or more travelling together the flat vehicle price is usually comparable to the per-seat fares — without the wait or the stops.
Can you pick up in Bellingham and drive to Sea-Tac?
Yes — the run works both directions at the same flat price, including early-morning departures timed to your flight, from a home, hotel or the WWU campus.
