Top tips for renting a car at Reno Airport

  • A car rental at Reno Airport is preferable for passengers who prefer a more personalized experience. This is a better option for those who do not have any particular destinations in mind but rather want to explore Reno on their own time. Moreover, there is no need to worry about what's happening with your luggage while exploring as it will be waiting at the airport.
  • The most common types of vehicles that are rented out at the airport include compact cars, sedans and SUVs. The rates for these vehicles vary depending on factors like the size of the vehicle and fuel type. Most car rental companies at Reno Airport will offer an unlimited mileage package and charge by the day or week instead of charging for every mile.
  • In case you need to return your car after hours, you will be able to do so at the airport garage and avoid paying a drop fee. You can also return your car at the airport 24h a day but will need to pay for an extra day.

Gold member. Rented two months ahead of time for a conference. Upon arrival, I went to check in on app, which displayed “unavailable”. Wait at counter to check in, lady tells me car is ready in pick up area. Go to pick up, nobody knows what I’m taking about and don’t care to find out. Walk back to counter, tell lady my problem. She tells me to go back and wait. 40 mins later, my rental shows up covered in dirty water and all the LiDAR sensors are giving warnings. At that point I was late, so I had to take it. Customer service is awful, I doubt I’ll be back.

Terrible experience. Waited two hours. Had to settle for a down grade of what we originally selected just to avoid waiting longer. The wait was due to lack of cars. Customer service reps were nice but there wasn’t enough of them for Volume of costumers

Meeting daughter in Reno (both flying in), my flight delayed so I call Hertz to add her as a driver so they could use car to leave airport and eat a meal. No joy whatsoever, person understood the issue but said no way. Said do it when you get to the counter (well I am going to be at 30,000 ft when they arrive. Fortunately my daughter persisted and went to the Hertz counter and since she has not yet converted her ID to her married name she talked them into giving her the car. Reserved a Premium class car, we had 5 people and was not as big as I thought a premiums car would be. Does seat 5 so we made it work. Trunk was small for rated 4 bags (especially when two are female with lots of stuff). So bags were on laps.

Pros:

Cons:

Felt like I was a victim of a "bait and switch" scheme. Signed up for a "manger's special" and when I went to pick up the car i was told the only available "car: was a full size pickup truck - when I balked, miraculously, there was a mid-sized car made available to me for an up charge of over $100. Not an honest way to operate.

Pros:

Better mileage than expected

Cons:

Pick up: disaster. Despite having RESERVED a mini-van class car, there was none available when I arrived. What's the point of a reservation? Instead they "upgraded" me to a CRV, which has half the storage space. Extremely unhappy because I planned to move across the country in the larger car, not a tiny CRV.

Employees were friendly and courteous.

Cons:

At the time of pickup, cars were not ready for many customers (at Reno/Tahoe Airport). So, customers were waiting in the parking structure and there was no one at the Avis booth there. Eventually, our car appeared, but it was a chaotic experience, because there was apparently a shortage of staff and no organized line for customers waiting for cars. Also, I did not get a receipt when I returned the car. The agent/employee told me a receipt would be emailed to me, but I have not yet received an email with a receipt.
