Local intelligence
Things to know before renting in Las Vegas
- Nevada has no state income tax and low fuel taxes — fuel prices are often cheaper than California or Florida.
- The Las Vegas Strip has no rental car offices — all airport brands operate from the consolidated RAC Center off-airport.
- Day trips from Las Vegas are excellent by car: Grand Canyon South Rim (~4.5h), Zion National Park (~2.5h), Death Valley (~2h), Hoover Dam (~30m).
- Nevada is a no-fault accident state — the basic liability included is sufficient for most trips, but CDW protects against damage costs up to $50,000+.
- Minimum age is 21; young-driver fee applies under 25. A credit card is required — debit cards are rarely accepted for the deposit.
- Summer heat in Nevada can exceed 45°C (113°F) — never leave items in a parked car; tyres and engines are under stress. Carry water.

Frequently asked questions about renting a car in Las Vegas

You must be at least 21. Drivers aged 21–24 pay a young-driver surcharge of about $25–30/day. Convertibles and exotic cars typically require 25+.
Where do I pick up the rental car at LAS airport?
Take the free shuttle from Level Zero (baggage claim) at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 to the consolidated Rent-A-Car Center. The ride takes about 5 minutes and runs every few minutes.
