Reno Airport attractions and Travel Tips

Car Rental at Reno Airport

Deep in the heart of the Nevada Desert, Reno is famed as a mecca for gamblers. If you want to visit casinos, you're in luck – but even if you're not feeling lucky, there's plenty to see and do in Reno. Explore the city's museums and parks or rent a car at Reno Airport and drive to nearby Lake Tahoe for some of the most stunning landscapes in the country. Before you set out, use HAPPYCAR to look at all your options for car rental at Reno Airport and compare deals. Find the offer that's right for you and get ready for a thrilling vacation.

What are the best casinos in Reno?

Like Las Vegas, Reno is famous for its casino resorts. These complexes offer you more than just gambling. They frequently have a plethora of options to enjoy, which is ideal if you're traveling with people who aren't keen on roulette or blackjack. The Grand Sierra Resort includes kid-friendly options like bowling and an amusement park, so the younger members of the family will be kept entertained.

Alternatively, try the Circus Circus Hotel Casino. Throughout the day, there are free circus acts performing here. There are also 33 carnival games to keep non-gamblers entertained.

Reno's mega-casino resorts are opulent and exciting, but you won't see many locals inside. Nevada residents tend to do their gambling outside of town, in smaller casinos. Some say that you have a better probability of winning in these casinos. To see for yourself, use rental cars from Reno Airport and head a little way outside the city. Good luck!

Museums in Reno

Not a gambler? Don't worry! Hop into your cheap car rental at Reno Airport and head to the National Automobile Museum to see vehicles dating back to the 19th century. Most of the collection here was put together by an eccentric local casino owner, William F. Harrah. You can see cars owned by celebrities like Elvis Presley and John Wayne, as well as automobiles that have featured in films from Titanic to Rebel Without a Cause.

Another great museum that is easily reached with car hire from Reno Airport is the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Musem, known locally as the Discovery. Dedicated to science and technology, it has interactive exhibits that are particularly popular with youngsters.

What can I do at Lake Tahoe?

The spectacular Lake Tahoe is just 45 minutes away in your cheap rental car from Reno Airport. This enormous freshwater lake has sandy beaches, camping, hiking, and plenty of water-based fun. Go swimming, paddle surfing, or kayaking. You could spend the whole day here – or make that two or three if you pack a tent in the back of your rental car from Reno Airport. The lake is best enjoyed in the summer months. However, if you visit in winter, you'll be able to go skiing and snowboarding at some of the nearby resorts.

Getting around Reno

You won't find much public mass transit in Nevada. For that reason, it's better to use cheap rental cars in the United States. This will allow you to easily go from casino to casino, explore the lesser-known parts of the city, and also take road trips into the desert to places of interest nearby.

What kind of road trips can I take from Reno?

It might seem logical to use Reno Airport car rentals to cross the Nevada Desert and get to Las Vegas. This is entirely possible – but it's quite a long distance. Reno is actually closer to the California border. A road trip heading west to the Pacific Coast would take you about four hours, or 250 miles, to reach San Jose. Do this in reverse with cheap car rentals from San Jose Airport SJC.

By contrast, Las Vegas is a full 440 miles away, a seven-hour drive if conditions are good. There are some interesting places to stop at along the way, but if you'd rather not drive such a long distance, look for cheap car rentals in Las Vegas instead.

When should I book my car?

It makes sense to book in advance if you're looking for the cheapest car rental at Reno Airport. The later you leave it, the higher prices will be. With HAPPYCAR, you'll still be able to find a vehicle, even with very little notice, but things are generally cheaper if you make your reservation early.

With HAPPYCAR, you can compare prices on car hire all around the country and the world. If you need cheap car rentals from the San Diego Airport or cheap car rentals in Chicago, HAPPYCAR is here. Use HAPPYCAR to find the best car rental at Reno Airport, and enjoy your Nevada vacation!
