Can I hire a car from Reno-Tahoe Intl. Airport (RNO)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Lake Tahoe car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid reservation six hours before the scheduled pick-up time should allow for your money back. But this is not always the case. It's worth checking your booking details and cancellation policy. Still can't find the answer? Hop on our Customer Service Portal.

Where can I go on a road trip from Lake Tahoe?
There are so many adventures to be had in Lake Tahoe, but head farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Book a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your travel schedule:

  • Head off to Sacramento for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 85 miles from Lake Tahoe, it's home to loads of cool sights, including Sacramento Zoo.
  • Roughly 100 miles away, Yosemite National Park is also a favourite with wanderers. Set aside time to experience Glacier Point while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this buzzing city.

How do I find the best car hire deals in Lake Tahoe with Expedia?
It's easy to track down an amazing deal with Expedia. Simply choose the car class, select your dates and pick-up and drop-off locations, and compare offers from leading rental brands. Save even more when you combine your Lake Tahoe car hire with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lake Tahoe?
Generally, the rules are 21 years and over in Lake Tahoe. It's worth noting that most outlets will charge a young driver fee. Check before you sign up, as different rules may apply between hire car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to hire a specialty ride or a larger car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Lake Tahoe?
Most hire companies will need these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What is the cheapest car hire in Lake Tahoe?
£48 and £49 were the two lowest daily prices for hired cars in Lake Tahoe within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Lake Tahoe?
Yes. We partner with reputable companies that offer long-term rentals for all types of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every inch of Lake Tahoe — or beyond!
Where can I find a Lake Tahoe hire car if I am younger than 25?
The ability to hire a car if you are under 25 in Lake Tahoe often depends on the hire provider you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet others may not have any additional costs for this age range. It'd be good to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective hire car company to escape any nasty surprises when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Lake Tahoe with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
