Car Rentals from Strip hotels instead of McCarran Rental Car Facility......

Besides the strip, would also be interested in GVR, RR & M.

Which hotels have you had the best experience renting, and which Cars can you get there?
Can deals be found?

Can you rent a car at the hotel & return it to the Rental Facility?
Or vice versa?

I'm New to getting rental Cars at the Hotel. Pointers appreciated. Thanks!


Until I started getting consistently screwed by cab drivers, I would rent from the airport and return to a hotel. NYNY was quick and easy - but you can do it at most. If you book ahead you can get pretty much any car you want. But if you add 2 cab fairs to the rental - even if you don't get long hauled - it really adds up.
Check the times the car rental desk is open at the hotel - they are often closed. If you return the car early evening you park in the parking garage but you are still responsible for damage to the car until they come back the next morning.
I have rented several cars from several casino hotels and always returned my car at the airport, which does not increase the rental cost. Once we took the shuttle to South Point (we were staying there) and had AVIS pick us up at the hotel. It was cheaper but only had a few cars on the lot to choose from and it took much longer doing that. I always check prices at the airport and at places within walking distance from our casino hotel. If it is considerably less, it could be worth the taxi ride to your hotel.

Thanks for the replies so far..........so if you rent from the Hotel......do you have to let them know
ahead of time that you want to return to the Rental facility? Or can you just do that?

Anyone know of a place where the Hotels & which rental car co's are there, is listed?

Double post..........as usual, 6 mins to Load.

Houston, you still got a problem.
Hertz tends to have hotel locations. If you go through AAA, the rates tend to be less expensive.

Whenever you rent a car, the rental company will expect you to let them know both when and where you will return it. In my experience, Vegas rental companies that have a presence at the airport do not charge extra when their cars are rented off-airport but returned at the airport. The reverse isn't always true, but it seems to be true for Budget, I often return airport cars at the Golden Nugget downtown for the same price.

If you return a car somewhere different than you told them when you checked it out, you may get hit with a surcharge. At a minimum, if you want to change the agreed return location, call and ask
