Decision order: rent bikes in Whistler or carry personal bikes → party size → hotel location → choose transfer.
If renting in Whistler and staying centrally, airport shuttle/private transfer may remove the need for a car entirely.
If carrying bike cases, confirm case dimensions/count with the transport provider before paying.
Rental car wins when it adds genuine value outside airport transfer and can carry the actual party/luggage/bikes.
Do not hard-code schedules or prices before booking.
