We are planning 2 days in Friday Harbor and are planning to stay downtown area. The main things we want to see are the museums and maybe some shops. Do we need to take a car for that or can we ferry over from Orcas Island on foot and see what we need to see? Or should we plan on bringing a rental car?

Having a car to get to other spots around on San Juan Island would be very convenient... however if you just plan on exploring downtown Friday Harbor no transportation is necessary. There are moped rentals as well as taxicabs and shuttles available as well.

Thanks for posting on the message board!

Thank you for your information Wesley. I have one other transportation question for you. We are trying to decide whether or not to rent at the airport and drive on the ferry or wait and rent on Orcas Island. Do you know whether either of the car rental companies on Orcas Island will let us rent with a debit visa  card or does it have to be a major credit card? I know Dollar and Thrifty at the airport will accept debit cards for payment. We have used them before. What do you think is our best plan?

I'd check with them by phone on those details to be safe.. neither of them mention those details on their sites
http://www.orcasislandshuttle.com/  360-376-7433
http://www.sanjuanauto.com/  360-376-5266

Others might find this list of Car rental companies on Lopez Island, Orcas Island, and San Juan Island helpful.

If you could let us know what you find out by posting your findings back here that would be great!

I contacted M and W Auto and OrcasIsland Shuttle via email. Both companies agreed to take debit cards with a visa logo on them.
