Top tips for renting a car in Las Vegas
- Although the Las Vegas Strip has plenty to offer in terms of entertainment, the areas outside the city center also have plenty to offer in terms of outdoor activities – which is why finding cheap car rentals in Las Vegas is so important. For example, taking public transportation to Spring Mountain to do some hiking is a bit tricky, and hiring a taxi can get expensive. However, renting your own small compact car or large SUV and driving to the trailhead is simple, affordable, and only takes about 30 mins or so.
- Las Vegas has a few specific road conditions to pay attention to. For example, at some intersections, there is a flashing yellow left arrow. This traffic signal means that you are allowed to turn left, but only after allowing pedestrians or traffic to go by. After the flashing yellow, the signal may turn into a solid green or solid yellow light. The solid green light is a standard left turn signal, whereas the solid yellow means that the red light is coming soon. Also, Interstate 15 is known to have quite a few traffic jams and accidents. Mostly, these are caused by unclear road signs, constant road construction, a high amount of tourists, and intoxicated driving. Be sure to pay extra attention when driving I-15.
- Finding parking for cheap car rentals in Las Vegas can be a bit tricky depending on where you go. If you’re traveling around the Las Vegas Strip in the evening, then keep an eye out for free parking spots on some streets after 6 pm. If you can’t find any, then consider going to one of the parking garages. Typically, hotels offer free parking to guests, otherwise, it can range from $1 to $20. To avoid the headache of looking for a spot (especially on packed weekend nights), it’s advisable to splurge a bit on valet service – don’t forget to tip the valet as well.
- Having a car available is of key importance if you plan on enjoying all that Las Vegas has to offer, particularly if you are not staying at one of the hotels on the Strip. Public transport is quite limited, so, if you plan on exploring the town, driving is your best option.
- Planning on renting a vehicle during your time in Las Vegas? If your flight lands at McCarran International Airport, you can reach the McCarran Rent-A-Car Center by hopping onto one of the 24/7 shuttles that ferry passengers from both Terminals 1 and 3 to the rental center.
- No visit to Las Vegas is complete without a trip to the Strip. However, drivers should be aware that distractions line the Strip and it is quite easy to let your attention stray. Because of this, it is advised that drivers make sure to keep their eyes on the road, especially because the drivers ahead of you may themselves become distracted and drive erratically.
- Rush hour traffic is no laughing matter in Las Vegas. Congestion can become quite severe during the morning rush (from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.) and in the afternoon from (4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.). On the weekend after 4:00 p.m. there is also a separate tourist rush that fills the streets back up again. For the standard work week traffic, I-15 and US 95 are to be avoided if at all possible, as they are two of the worst hit highways during rush hour.

Pros:
Quick pickup and drop off of the car.Cons:
They could have checked the engine oil level before giving the car for a week long usage. I got it with very low engine oil were in the middle of the week it already giving me a oil change warning all the time makes me worry with all my driving. Upon returning, I have 3% left on engine oil with so much conservative driving. 😞6.0 Okay

May 2021
Cons:
This location is different from the car rental center, is only open from 8AM to 4 PM, and the street name has been changed though both Kayak and Dollar have not updated this in their systems. There is not a shuttle service from the Airport to this location so you have to Uber it to get there. Taking that cost into consideration, you don’t save any money renting a car from here plus getting there and back can be quite a hassle. It’s a shame because the service was great otherwise.2.0 Poor
May 2021
Pros:
I was able to select a pickup time of 10PM, yet the counter closes at 10PM? We waited in line for the airport shuttle and travelled all the way over to just have to backtrack to a Uber and not get the car until the next morning. The wait the following Morning was over an hour in line.Fox

Pretty much everything. The car condition, the agents professionalism and courtesy, the safety of the car, the location, the wait time. The car’s front tires had the wear bars showing. We felt very unsafe in this car.6.0 Okay
May 2021
Pros:
Friendly staff, clean, comfortable carCons:
I wanted to rent from the airport location, but I actually rented from a satellite location. When I took the shuttle to the rental center I was told that I was at the wrong location. I then had to take a taxi to pick up my car. Enterprise would not let me drop it off at the airport, so I was really stuck at drop off time because I had no way to get to the airport. I'm not sure where the mix up was, but I probably missed something on kayak's website.10.0 Wonderful

May 2021
Pros:
The drop off was fast and easyCons:
The price for the rental was horrible. When I aeiived to get my rental I was informed that the size of my selection was too small for my party size. In order to get a larger vehicle, an upgrade I have to pay $40 per day more. While this is common practice, after doing a price comparison I found that the tots price ended up being almost $700 more than any other company for the same class vehicle. This is the first time this has ever happened. Then to add insult into injury, we found that the vehicle was significantly damaged. Almost as if it was the last car on the lot. It was almost midnight and my family and I were extremely tiered and didn’t notice the damage until the next day. After I payed for the vehicle including deposit. I didn’t have enough money to wait for a refund and rent another vehicle. I feel completely played.2.0 Poor
