Fountain is hands down the best place to rent a truck. Their prices are excellent and less than the not to be named competitors. The staff is friendly and professional. The trucks are also excellent. Weve rented 3 separate times and each truck was in great condition. I highly recommend keeping business local and renting from Fountain.
Great experience with them. Had a trip planned and went with enterprise rental needed a vehicle that sat 8 people reserved one from enterprise a few days prior to the trip. Went in the morning of to grab the rental and the only one they had was a 7 person truck. We had a deadline to catch the ferry in time and 8 people for the trip. They told us they had one and left us hanging last min. I remembered fountain rental from my last job at appliance depot. And how good they were to us there when our box truck was broke down. (Which was all the time) so we rushed over there got in and out super fast and on the road with a 15 passenger van for a cheaper price than our first choice and a way way better customer service experience. Thank you to the familyat fountain rental.
Fountain Rental is one of the most reliable and consistently great businesses in Whatcom county. They are a total All-American throwback to the days when integrity and customer service actually meant something.
Jusr got, will describe after using it.A wee bit dirty
I love renting a smart car from Fountain rental when I need an emergency vehicle! The Smart car (gas power) is fun to drive, gets great mileage, and is only $27 a day from always local, family owned Fountain Rental. They will treat you right and offer a great value. I also like renting moving trucks from them for my clients, they offer a great Realtor rate for me! Highly recommend this top notch business!
Extremely friendly staff and great customer service. Very clear on guidelines for rentals and fairly quick process before your driving away in one of their trucks. Truck seemed well maintained and very clean both interior of cab and cargo area. The option for the power lift made the few hours I was moving solo much more bearable. Prices are pretty good and nice location just outside of downtown so you arent having to navigate one ways in an unfamiliar and large vehicle. Will patronize again in the future.
Awesome small business, great customer service and super helpful folks. Use these guys next time you need a car or truck rental!
Super helpful and informative.
We rented a moving truck from them this last weekend, and received the best service. I highly recommend this company.Thanks.
Fountain Rental is always our first choice!We have been a regular customer for well over ten years. During that time weve rented everything from 24 foot trucks, to their new smart cars, and only had great experiences with their vehicles and service. They take pride in their business 100%; you can tell with every interaction.Fountain Rental is a local, family owned business thats been a solid part of our community since people started driving cars, and we are proud to have such fine neighbors. Glad to share our thoughts and support!Tana Granack, SPARK Museum of Electrical Invention
I rented a van for a 1000+ mile road trip and was very pleased with the quality of the vehicle and the outstanding service we received. Thank you!
Best deals in town!
Very clean and well maintained newer truck. Buddy was friendly and helpful. Ive used the nationwide truck rental company a few miles down the road, but will from now on exclusively recommend Fountain Rental. Much friendlier service and no surprise gotcha fees.
Good to work with and conpard to other places good prices
Its a business I trust
This family run rental business is top notch. Their equipment is well maintained and works great. Very friendly service and fair values. If you need a specialty rental or moving van in Bellingham you cant go wrong with Fountain. Their box truck with power lift was just what I needed to move my new insanely large freezer. Thanks Fountain!
Fountain Rental is an awesome, family-owned-and-operated, local business that we use constantly. We run a real estate firm, and we send all our local clients to Fountain for their moving truck. We get 5-star feedback from every one of our clients. The communication is great, the process is simple, the prices are competitive and fair, the trucks are clean... its the whole package. I highly recommend using Fountain Rental for your next move!!! Five star all the way!!!
Family owned for over 60 years. Friendly staff. Great place to rent cars and trucks and to buy cars.
Fountain Rental is a locally owned and operated place, and we couldnt be more happy with the service we have gotten from them. Prices are very competitive, and the people are so friendly. We would recommend this place to anyone. We always try them before we go with one of the big companies.
Good clean truck
One of our very favorite Bellingham businesses! They are super honest and realistic with what they provide as well as the (free) advice they dispense in regards to all things automotive. We rent cars and trucks from them and they do the maintenance on our cars. (we happily fit into their schedule - usually Tuesday through Friday)Also, they know Electric cars inside and out and have rented and bought and sold used ones for their clients. They do what little maintenance we need on our Ford focus electric car as well as our quest minivan and Suzuki SX4.They also buy cars for clients (to order) from the car auctions. Boy oh boy do I wish we had done that with our last car (minivan) purchase!
We were looking for a rental for the holidays. Room for 7 people. Found my go to place for rentals now.. cheaper then the competition and friendlier staff.. nice clean, newer van. Thanks guys
Good rates and clean trucks. I appreciate they took the time to show me how to operate the liftgate, where the controls were located, and point out any existing damage. The office was well-staffed, knowledgeable and very friendly.
The staff is hard working and professional. When most would just hang up the towel, they went way out of their way to make things happen even when they didnt have to. Great to work with a family owned business! Thanks again!
I have been renting trucks from them for years. I find their prices reasonable, the trucks are well taken care of and the service is solid. We are lucky to have an independent rental agency like them in town.
A much better deal than U-Haul price wise and the customer service is 100 times better!
Great group of folks. We feel lucky to have found mechanics who we trust with our vehicles, and who are so nice to work with. We also rent trucks from them when we need them.A little known fact is that they rent, sell & service used electric cars. Killer value.
I highly recommend Fountain Rental. They care about their customers. They have fair pricing. They go out of their way to meet your needs.
These are a great bunch of people - they take good care of their customers and their cars.
The crew down at fountain really go above and beyond. Buddy not only helped me handle a difficult situation with my reservation, he also found me a professional moving service to help with an awkward piece of furniture. Thanks for being great guys! Ill never go through u-haul again.
Fountain Rental is a staple of local and family owned businesses in Bellingham. Ive rented several times from Fountain for both business and personal rentals, and Ive never been let down. Great prices and great customer service.
Awesome customer service! Weve rented an RV twice from them and purchased a passenger van. Will definitely rent from them again and cant recommend them enough!
Quick and easy rental. Had competitive rates for our van needs.
I recently purchased a business vehicle from Fountain Rental and it was hands down the best car buying experience I have ever had. Their staff was both friendly and accommodating. If you are thinking about buying or renting from them dont hesitate. I know I will use them again.
The truck we originally wanted was too big so we were able to downsize no problem. Great service and cheaper than the other guys.
The staff was very friendly and their prices were more than reasonable. If I need to rent another van in the future I will definitely be coming here again!
Ok services, called to reserve truck and they failed to tell us about the large deposit they require, the large chains dont charge this ridiculous amount. We thought using a local company would save us some but no cost more than the big chains... But the truck was really nice, we wont be back.....
I hate that I have to write this review. I tend to support local companies.But, there is one very big reason that you should never, ever, rent a moving truck from Fountain Rentals.What is that reason? You will be liable for the full value of the truck, even if you buy the insurance they offer. Thats right. That means you could owe them upwards of $50,000 dollars.When you rent a truck from them, theyll show you a photo where 3 trucks have damaged their building. That damage is not covered by the insurance they offer. Why? Because their insurance does not cover any incident on parking lots, driveways, and unpaved roads. Not only that, according to Bud, a Fountain Rental employee, over half of the incidents that happen are NOT covered by the insurance they offer.If you think that your car insurance will cover you, think again. Most car insurance does not cover moving trucks.The bottom line: If youre moving, it simply isnt worth the risk to go with Fountain Rental. All of their competitors offer much better insurance coverage, at a reasonable price. U-Hauls insurance is only $4 more, and provides actual coverage.If youre thinking of renting a moving truck from Fountain Rental, just dont do it. Its not worth the risk.
Fountain Rental is a fantastic, local, family run company that has provided nothing but the best possible service to me. Since I dont have my own vehical, I use them frequently for 1-day rental, as well as week-long rentals for when I have guests. They have a great variety of vehicals (even offering electric now) and everyone who works there provides excellent customer service. Over the past 6 months Ive rented from them about 10 times, and every time I know exactly what I am getting, what I will and wont be charged for, and what type of service to expect. Some of my friends have used Fountain for summer-long rentals and have also had wonderful experiences. Overall, top-notch company!
Super friendly and helped me get a surprise truck on the busiest moving day of the year. Plus it was super affordable!
My youth group always rents vans from these guys, who are always friendly, inexpensive, and take food care of their vehicles.
Fountain rental is a consistent staple in our local community. The vehicles are well maintained, and the staff is flexible, courteous, and reliable.
Great service, well maintained vehicles. Not sure why the rep needs to keep a handgun in his pants, but I guess thats irrelevant.
Fast courteous friendly service
Good guys! Decent equipment
Great local business with friendly personalized service!
This place had high reviews from a friend. Today was the 3rd time Ive attempted to rent a large van. Each time, the one person (according to the person who answered) stated he could only say no to any inventory because the man who rented was not available to ask? Major disappointment again! I needed a van desperately for a spring break trip. I would never post a review normally. But the lack of help or knowledge each time Ive called is ridiculous for any business. Not having a van available is one thing, lack of knowledge of availability or offering to have someone call back with anything is another! Wont ask this company again.
Good service and useful. An excellent value.
A superior alternative to U-Haul
Really easy to rent from and the staff was very helpful
Best place to rent a truck period.
Great service, clean reliable van.
Supporting the local community whos competative business is one that I trust and rely on. Fountain is where I want to go!
Allways helpful and friendly
Great customer service!
Nice family run business
These folks are great!
