What are the driving conditions like in Nevada?

When you look at car rental in Nevada, bear in mind that the state is one of the least populated in the United States, with vast open spaces between centres of population, so you have plenty of distance to cover. The landscape is mostly desert or arid land, and it is usually very hot during the day and cold at night. If you plan to go off the beaten track, ensure that your car is equipped with emergency equipment such as a blanket, flashlight, food and lots of drinking water. Even if you take out cheap car rental in Nevada, you should still consider getting a car with air conditioning to temper the sweltering midday desert temperatures. As with the rest of the United States, Nevada has an extensive network of good quality roads, with several major interstate highways. The most notable of these is Interstate 15, which runs north through the US from the Mexican to the Canadian border, passing through Las Vegas on the way.

What laws should I be aware of when driving in Nevada?

Due to the US being a federation, driving laws vary from state to state. They are determined by state law as opposed to being universally applied across the nation (though they are not dissimilar in many states). You need to be at least 21 years old to hire a car. Very young children are required to be restrained in an approved child restraint system. Drivers who refuse to take a breath, blood or urine test upon being suspected of driving under the influence may have their licence suspended. Driving while holding a mobile phone is an offence in Nevada. Check with the car rental agent if new laws for the state are coming into effect while you’re there.

What documents do I need to hire a car in Nevada?

If you are seriously considering cheap car hire in Nevada, whichever part of the state you hire a car in, you will need your driver’s licence. If this is not in English, an international driving permit or driving licence will also be required. Photo identification may be requested by state police, and you must have the car insurance papers and proof of registration in the car you are driving. A credit card is needed to arrange the rental, and young drivers may incur a surcharge.

Is it worthwhile to book a rental car in Nevada?

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, as the saying goes, but if you have a roving eye and wanderlust, and you’re all gambled out, then this state has plenty to see and do. Much of this will require a car rental; the Carson Range part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Mead and the famed Lake Tahoe await you. If you still have a penchant for casinos and want to see if your luck improves, then Reno, the other gambling hotspot on the state's western side, provides a change of scenery. A short trip to the Grand Canyon in neighbouring Arizona can be completed in a day if you have wheels and leave early enough in the morning. Car rentals in Nevada are readily available at airports such as McCarran International in Las Vegas.

Pick up location did not have the vehicle requested. They called to inform me. which was nice. Pick up location was wrong. They gave me the number to call to fix it. Assured me not to be concerned as this mix up does happen often, and easy to fix. Called the number, instead of correcting, they said they have to cancel and rebook my reservation again which caused a significant price difference. When shared my disappointment, they gave some discount which out really explaining. Dismissive. Staff at pick up, did not know about the electric (Tesla) cars. Did not provide the L2 charging adaptor. Hertz 800 Phone system hangs up when you select to talk to the local staff option. Drove back to rental place to get an adaptor. Was told to go look for it in all the other tesla cars in the lot and see if I can find one. After 3rd vehicle I gave up. Drop off was fast. Hope you share this with Hertz.

Well I reserved my car for 12, but when I got to the location they were at lunch. I waited 45 min for nothing as I was told when they got back I was at the 2nd location within the casino and needed to go to the other. Well they didn't have my card. The customer service agent was great, but I had to wait another 1.5 hours for my car to be ready. That sucked

We didn't get the model when booking, most importantly it has a defective front passenger window, it broke a few days after picking up the car, just by opening the door. So we drove back to Las Vegas, after a 4-hour trip. They wouldn't give us compensation for the gas or our time to return their defective car. Plus, nobody was "responsible", they kept telling us to call the hotline to address our concern, which when called kept telling us to address it with the office. I would definitely not book again with hertz nor recommend it, quite the contrary...

I had to wait in line at the airport rental desk to show my rental agreement and then after being directed to the outside area I waited for almost 30 minutes to get my car. After getting in the car and leaving the airport it became very obvious that the vehicle had been smoked in. It stank so bad that we drove with the windows down and left the windows down everywhere we parked for the entire week that we drove the car.

Due to logistics mismanagement, we were given an 'upgrade' to a GIANT SUV (we'd reserved a mid size) - it was that or a compact car (which we couldn't fit all of us & our bags into). The SUV we got had damage to it - we were walked through as quickly as possible and got no paperwork for it. Just an email confirmation - not sure what good that would have done if we were stopped or in an accident, which thankfully we were not. The SUV itself was a gas guzzler - the 'upgrade' cost us more in fuel that we planned on spending (about $100 to fill it - YIKES!) and was a bear to park and drive (unwieldy, too large to exit the vehicle clearly in most parking spaces unless we parked in the back 40 of a lot (which we had to do to enter/exit). The staff on pickup were polite. And three days later, no receipt for final return (return was after hours because it was 9-5 in a strip mall). Not sure I'd use Enterprise again and I'd definitely speak up about so-called upgrades!

Check in was like going through a timeshare sales pitch, attendant didn’t know her cars and her prices for the “deals” she was offering I don’t think she knew what they were she was making stuff up. She originally said we will get a Jeep Compass but offered us “for $20 instead of $60 today ONLY we could upgrade to a Jeep Cherokee” we declined on the first offer and the ones following it and were then handed a Hyundai that couldn’t even fit our luggage which is why we picked an SUV in the first place. After arguing we were told we are getting a Jeep compass, the agent who was giving out keys said we would need to pay another $100 a day for the upgrade to a compass, real hagglers. Eventually they got tired of my husband’s arguing they let us take the compass. The car was very uncomfortable but that isn’t the agency’s fault and the car was clean. Upon return the attendant was super quick which was nice, but a bit short tempered, however I probably would be too, working outdoors in 109 degrees. The experience wasn’t terrible but felt like a sales pitch they kept trying to upgrade us and get us to spend more money, and also it is said to be in the “airport” it is NOT, you will need to schlep your luggage onto one shuttle to one location then switch to a different shuttle, so you’ll be taking 2 shuttles to and from this rental location FYI.

We reserved a premium SUV for our planned road trip as we needed enough space for a family of 8. As we arrived to the Enterprise location, we were told they had no premium SUVs available. They kept trying to give us a minivan instead despite us telling them there were 8 of us, and the minivan only fit 7 people. Then they told us they were no other locations that had a premium SUV available, except for the airport Enterprise, but we had to have a reservation with them specifically as they have a "different system". They told us to just "go there" as they have a "lot of cars" and likely have a premium SUV available. Thankfully, we decided to call instead of just going there blindly, and sure enough, no premium SUVs in the whole city were available. They just apologized, never attempting to explain why you can reserve a car with absolutely no guarantee it will be available, and they did not even offer to make it up to us in any way. This was the worst experience and we will never rent from Enterprise again.

Terrible. This is my first experience with Sixt and it was terrible. I reserved an suv, paid online, and when I tried to pick it up, the agent said they didnt have the vehicle I rented and only had a BMW and either a Traverse or Highlander (she wasn't sure) and I had to pay another $93 per day for it because they are upgrades. When I told her I already paid online and questioned why I would have to pay more she said, "You people rent cars at the last minute and expect to get the low price on the screen?" I provided a rental confirmation # from Sixt but she denied that Sixt agreed to rent me anything. She made no attempt to find anything else, offer another time slot, or provide one of the two remaining vehicles at the price I already paid. Sixt cost me a last minute hotel room in Vegas and I missed work while traveling home the next day. I've called and emailed customer service multiple times over the last two days and they still haven't refunded my rental. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Most car rentals listed as having shuttles from the Las Vegas Airport only require one shuttle. This location actually requires 2 shuttles with pick up and drop off. When we picked up our car, the agent indicated there was some damage to the bumper andd if we didn't want that car, we would need to wait additional time. She said it would be noted in the paperwork so we took it. Thankfully, my husband took a picture of it before we left because when we returned the car, they had no note of the damage.

And then when I went to get gas, I couldn’t find the gas door lever. I had to go to the Advantage office and ask them how to open the gas door, which was Pretty much a no-brainer, except that I haven’t driven a car in my entire life. It didn’t have a fuel door opening lever in the cabin.

I made a reservation in februari to rent a car in august. I wanted to be sure that everything was in order in advance. When i came to the office of budget, they told me i couldn't ride to Wyoming. That's the policy of the company. They told me to go to the main office at the airport in Las Vegas. I made another busride for 1h15min. At the main office they told me the same story. I said you have to make this clear by the reservation. I didn't receive this information because i booked with kayak instead of on their website. The agent blamed me for not looking to the terms on their website. This is not my fold in my opinion. They have to make terms with their partners so people who want to make a reservation know the terms. This is a bad experience. I lost a full day searching for an afordable rental car by other companies. I cannot recommend to rent a car with budget.
