The border crossing and the additional driving might not be everyone's cup of tea.
With the new law permitting Canadians to drive US plated vehicles it will make future SEA/BLI car rentals easier not having to hop from agency to agency looking for Canadian plated cars.
Hint: You can score very cheap one way YVR to SEA/BLI or the other way around by re-positioning the cars for the agencies. I have paid $35 for a four day one way SEA YVR rental of a Canadian plated car.
Van service BLI to our rental apartment in Vancouver is $350 including return.
We are also replenishing the "beverage" supply at the wedding.
For me even 1 or 2 person is worth it for I have a perfect UG Score BUF-DTW/MSP/ATL-SEA due to top tier status; I can also use the status qualifying miles.
