KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sparks

  • A car rental in Sparks, Nevada, offers several advantages, providing greater convenience and flexibility during your stay there. You can explore at your own pace, visit multiple attractions in a day, and easily access locations that may not be well-served by public transportation. Still, with a car, you can create your own itinerary and make spontaneous changes to your plans. You can explore nearby attractions, such as Lake Tahoe or Reno, without being constrained by fixed bus or train schedules. This freedom allows you to maximize your time and tailor your experiences according to your preferences.
  • Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) in Nevada, United States, is a major airport serving the Reno and Lake Tahoe region, including Sparks. The airport offers car rental options from well-known companies like National, Enterprise, Avis, Alamo, Dollar, and Budget. The car rental counters at RNO are located in the airport's rental car center, a separate building adjacent to the main terminal. Upon arriving at RNO, proceed to the baggage claim area on the lower level of the terminal. The rental car shuttle buses regularly operate to transport passengers to the rental car center.
  • Before hitting the road in a car rental in Sparks, remember that the city has residential areas and neighborhoods where pedestrians and bicyclists may share the road. Therefore, be attentive and give them the right of way, especially in crosswalks and bike lanes. Exercise caution when passing cyclists and be mindful of their safety. In addition, Sparks is located near natural areas where wildlife may occasionally venture onto or near roads. Be cautious and watch for wildlife crossing signs. Reduce your speed and exercise caution, especially during dusk and dawn when animals are more active.
  • Sparks, Nevada, a suburban area near Reno, may experience traffic congestion at certain times, particularly during peak commuting hours or special events. Rush hour traffic can occur on major roads, such as Interstate 80, or local streets leading to and from residential areas, workplaces, and schools. Usually, the snarl-up occurs between 7:00 am and 9:00 am, and in the afternoon, from 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Skirting around these streets might be helpful. Suppose you are here during winter; expect snowy or icy conditions. As such, consider winter tires or carrying tire chains for better traction when driving a Sparks car rental.

I booked a reservation through Kayak for $93.50, but Hertz would not honor the price. They HAD the reservation, they simply wouldn't honor the price. The price they gave me was $166.13 and the person at the rental desk basically said "Take it or leave it". I had no choice but to take it since I had to be somewhere quickly

Bait & Switch tactics Asking me for my airline information but not booking me at the airport. To add to that, you book me at a place that closes at 5 pm knowing airlines have a 1 in 5 glitch such that when I’m delayed, the office is closed and I need to rebook at 3 times the price. Shame on you, despicable tactics. I will never use Kayak to book ever again

The Branch Manager had very poor customer service skills. There was a miscommunication on insurance coverage, he did not want to help me resolve the problem. I asked him to call the corporate office together so we could find a resolution and he refused to do that. When I insisted we make that call, he threatened to call the police if I did not leave the office immediately. I have never experienced this poor level of service in a car rental office. I expected better from Hertz, and maybe it is a need for customer service training for that particular manager, but it is a poor reflection on a good company.

Pros:

Nothing, I was very upset my reservation was not available, sent to the wrong business, received the wrong car and ended up cancelling my reservation. Very upset about the whole experience.

Cons:

Due to the reservation screwups, I think an upgrade and a price match for my original reservation should have been made. But it wasn't, and they tried to give me a smaller size vehicle and my daughter is 5"11.

I think the price was a bit higher than competitors, but I was willing to pay 50 more for better customer service.

Let me start by saying, I got a good price for mu rental. The check in and check out process was quick and simple. One of the vans I got was dirty, hadn't been washed. But I was in a hurry so I didn't mind (this time). Overall it was good service. I will rent with them again.
