May 2021
Pros:
Easy check in/out process. Employee was very friendly and helpful.Cons:
The A/C did not work. The only reason it was bearable was because we went up the mountain and had the windows down with the cool breeze. But it was very hot /sweaty with the windows up and in Reno without the colder air outside.10.0 Excellent

May 2021
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"11.10.0 Excellent
Feb. 2021

Pros:
2021 Kia Soul w/ 225 miles. Great car. Also, night manager on Friday night really made me feel at home, even arriving 5 mins to close.Cons:

Dec. 2020
Cons:
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.Budget

Dec. 2020
Pros:
Better mileage than expectedCons:
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.6.0 Good

Pros:
Friendly, but not helpful. Arrived and there were zero rental vehicles available despite the reservation being paid for and reserved over a week in advance. When asked if there were other locations with availability was just told no locations have any without even checking.Cons:
Don't offer a product and/or service Hertz can not comply with after charging customers for it. Fraudulent charges are happening to many customers. Poorly run business.4.0 Okay
May 2021
Pros:
Staff was friendly. Short wait time.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.Payless

Mar. 2021
Pros:
They didn’t have an employee at the counter. 50 people didn’t get their cars. Sent to Avis and Budget for cars, or to other vendors. They are involved in a bait and switch.Cons:

Jun. 2020
Pros:
We rented a convertible for my son's graduation since it was a drive through due to covid. And we're going to cruise around town and just enjoy the day. I rented the convertible weeks before. We get there the day of graduation and the gal proceeds to tell us there are NONE avaliable. I was so upset for him since this end of the school year was such a bummer. It was just a huge let down.2.0 Mediocre

Pros:
Rental agent helped me to rent at another company, she was incredibly helpful and accommodatingCons:

Feb. 2020
Pros:
Drop off was fine.Cons:
Car rented was not what was reserved (reserved midsize 4wd SUV, they put us in a larger 2wd SUV saying that was all they had). Check in process was slow. Car was clumsy but clean and functional.10.0 Excellent

Aug. 2018
Pros:
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.National

Top tips for hiring a car in Reno
- Surrounded by lush parks and forests, Reno is a unique oasis that provides plenty of opportunity for outdoor exploration. Deciding to rent a car during your time in Reno will be a worthwhile decision, opening up the ability to discover the beauty of Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Truckee River, and the valleys and desert of Nevada. By hiring a car and maximizing your time in town you will be able to explore the amazing natural landscapes and still check out the funky and eclectic nightlife of downtown Reno.
- Reno-Tahoe International Airport is located only 3 miles from the downtown district, meaning you can pick up your hire car and be in the city in no time at all. Survey the best list of hire options available at Reno-Tahoe International Airport using KAYAK and organize your hire before you arrive. Major global hire companies such as Alamo, Avis, Hertz, Thrifty, and Budget have counters located within the baggage claim area of the airport terminal.
- If you plan on traveling to the many mountainous areas surrounding the valley that Reno sits in, keep in mind that the weather at high elevations is unpredictable and thus the road conditions can change quickly. Ensure that you regularly check local weather reports and take extra precautions when driving on snow or ice.
- Rush hour is a relative piece of cake in Reno compared to other major cities across the United States. While there is increased congestion on the roads between 7 am and 9 am and between 5 pm and 6:30 pm, most of the city is reachable within 45 minutes -- even if you are coming from the opposite side of town!
- 25% of our users found a car hire in Reno for $61 or less
- Book your car hire in Reno at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
