Car hire excess insurance in Reno
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Collision damage waiver and theft protection are insurance options that cover renters from paying high penalty fees if the car is stolen or returned damaged. Some Reno car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the rental price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when renting a car in in Reno.
See car hire offers including a collision damage waiver (CDW)See car hire offers including a theft protection waiver
Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire excess insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your rental. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Reno car rental.

10.0 Excellent7 Jul. 2021
Pros: Staff friendly and the drop off and puck up wer super easyCons: Honestly the only issue i have is the cost of the rental. Seemed higher than usual, but i am sure it is due to the current economy and vehicle shortages.

Pros: Staff super fast and efficient!Cons: The high beams on that car only work sporadically, I forgot to mention. Please get them checked!
10.0 Excellent3 Dec. 2020
Pros: Great value for a very nice full-size luxury SUV. Far better than the competition. XM satellite radio activated, unlike some of your competitors that are having problems with XM. Noissues with the car over a 2 week period.Cons: Could have been cleaned better before we picked it up. Some trash from prior renters in the car still.
10.0 Excellent9 Nov. 2020
Pros: Staff at the Reno airport was super friendly and efficient. Car provided was awesome and very clean. The pick-up and drop-off process was very smooth and easy.Cons: Only comment was the temp tag (paper taped on dash) expired three days before car return (no temp plates on the front or rear of vehicle). While we did not encounter any issues, peace of mind on paper tags would have been ~better~, though I acknowledge the 2021 vehicle was brand new and tags may not have been available. Otherwise, seamless rental, 10/10, very pleased!!

8.0 Excellent3 May 2021
Pros: Easy check in/out process. Employee was very friendly and helpful.Cons: The A/C did not work.

2.0 Mediocre4 Jul. 2021
Pros: Nothing to be honest. Line to check out was terribly long and the condition of the car they gave us was disgusting. Don’t waste your money with this rental company.Cons: Condition of the car was disgusting. Brown stains coated the inside of the seats and ceiling. There was a burned hole in the driver’s seat. We tried to talk with someone about getting a different car and they told us there wasn’t anything they could do.
4.0 Okay14 Jun. 2021
Cons: They should’ve had the vehicle I signed up for in advance ready and available for me. Also there were too many add on fees when I arrived to pick up vehicle.
4.0 Okay6 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 Good5 Dec. 2020
Pros: Everything with the exception of below.Cons: Only two counters open and had to wait 45 minutes just to get to a counter.
2.0 Mediocre28 Sep. 2020
Cons: I tried canceling this booking less than 24 hours after paying, due to the California wildfires. I was told I could cancel since it hadn’t been 24 hours yet, but weeks have gone by and not one worker is willing to help issue a refund...

Pros: The staff was friendly and the car was fineCons: Allow a customer to cancel a reservation that is no longer needed

Pros: The customer service staff on the phone was extremely helpful in helping me cancel my reservationCons: The booking seemed to be at the Reno airport but upon arrival I was told that the actual location was a couple miles away.

2.0 Mediocre4 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 Excellent9 Feb. 2021
Pros: Staff was very kind, received a free upgrade, car was clean, functioned perfectly, and made the trip enjoyable. Also, I really liked how smooth the pickup and delivery was.

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.

8.0 Excellent5 Mar. 2019
Pros: Staff very helpful. GREAT that you could guarantee that the car in that class would be AWD/4WD (this was my most important factor). Very reassuring while driving through light snow.Cons: The interior of the car smelled strongly like fast food when I first got in. Otherwise clean, so was unfortunate that my very first impression was the smell of fast food. This smell seemed to dissipate over the course of my 1-hr trip to Tahoe. Also the owner's manual was not in the car.
10.0 Excellent15 Aug. 2016
Pros: The car was clean and had low mileage.Cons: I HATE Hyundai cruise control. Unfortunately this isn't something that can be controlled by the rental agency.
10.0 Excellent16 Feb. 2016
Quick and easyPros: they knew my name before I stepped out of the car. printed me a receipt and I was done, didn't even have to go into the airport.Cons: the drop off is in the very back of the parking garage and then you have to make your way through the parking garage to the airport, no designated walkways, made me a little nervous.
10.0 Excellent6 Dec. 2015
Great service!Pros: The person at the counter was extremely helpful. We were a little stressed about the weather, so asked for an upgrade and were given one from Alamo for a slight increase in cost. It was money well spent and they were great to work with.Cons: The wait was long, but that was due to a person who was trying to rent without a credit card. The staff handled it well, but he was annoying.
