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'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.

Staff were nice and helpful. Pickup and drop off were quick and easy. Car was clean upon pickup. Only issue was Sirus XM was unavailable during last day of the rental which was a nominal inconvenience.
