Because that's the official name of our company! A long time ago (in 2008), the original founders recognized that many visitors to the island came by boat or plane or couldn't get their car on the ferry, so they needed transportation. They founded Orcas Island Shuttle and spent the next few years shuttling visitors around the island by bus. Eventually, they came to see that the demand was so great and the island was so big that a bus was not the most effective way to meet those transportation needs. Thus, Orcas Island Rental Car was born. They kept the original name because they were proud of their roots but their focus was on providing a convenient, cost-effective, and truly local experience for visitors.
The company changed hands to a new local couple in 2018 but still operates on the model of keeping prices low by providing well-maintained used cars and stress-free delivery anywhere on Orcas Island. While other rental car companies and shuttles have come and gone, we just keep rolling along by focusing on providing great value and exceptional customer service.
