Is There a List of Las Vegas Hotels with Car-Rental Agencies?

I'm planning a trip in June and car-rental prices at the airport are crazy! Is there a list of Las Vegas hotels with car-rental agencies?

By not renting a car at the airport, you’ll save the airport concession recovery fee of 10%. You also won’t have to pay the consumer facility fee of $4 per day. You’ll still have to pay Nevada sales tax for car rentals at 8.25%, the Clark County rental tax of 2%, and a state government surcharge of 10%. But even for only a two- or three-day rental, those fees can add up to $20-$30; for a weekly rental, more like $50-$60.

Luckily, it’s not difficult to rent a car at an off-airport location. Almost all the major casinos on the Strip and downtown, plus most of the locals casinos, have rental-car counters.

Hertz, for example, has locations at Caesars Palace, Paris, Planet Hollywood, Venetian/Palazzo, Cosmopolitan, the Plaza, the Rio, and JW Marriott; Avis has rental offices at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, Bellagio, New York-New York, Park MGM, Mirage, Luxor, MGM Grand, Circus Circus, and Four Queens.

Las Vegas locals use any number of non-casino for rental-car satellites. Just google your preferred agency and try to get as close to the airport as possible.

You might actually pay more for the car; some rental agencies jack up the off-airport price, knowing that renters are trying to save money in this way. Then again, you might not. It's certainly worth researching.

Also, unless someone you know picks you up, you'll have to pay for transportation between the airport and hotel or rental-car agency. But you’ll definitely save on the airport fees.

Non Airport Rental

You will indeed save some cash not renting at the airport.  But don't rent at a casino either.  They gouge (surprise).  Yes the casinos themselves aren't renting you the car but the agencies that pay to be there do gouge.  So if you aren't renting at the airport rent at an offsite location.  Do your homework.  Sometimes one company is cheaper, next time they may be the most expensive. 

We always rent a car, there's so much to do and see in the area.  Here's a tip if you are renting at the airport.  Depending on the day and time the lines can be long. Sometimes very long.  So just join the loyalty club of whoever you are renting with.  It's free and allows you to skip the lines.  When we were there last July we rented from Budget.  Huge line, estimated at 90 minutes or more.  But because I had joined Fastbreak we went right to the garage and were out in 5 minutes. All of the clubs allow you to skip the lines.

Bally’s has an Enterprise counter near the front on the right as you enter from valet parking.

Once upon a time

I traveled on company business a lot.

I always arranged for a rental car at my destination with my local favorite rental company back then being Hertz.

I discovered that I got a much better rental rate than renting at the airport of the city I traveled to.

Maybe that method still works today.

Worth checking out.

Also

You can save money on car rentals by declining their insurance.

However, make sure your car insurance company covers insuring accidents with rental cars.
Especially state that you are renting a Vegas vacation car for ___ days when you inquire.

Most insurance companies do cover car rental as a part of their policy providing car rental expenses from an accident or even stolen vehicle.


Another thing to be aware of.
Rentals are required to be returned with a full tank.
I have gotten into rentals with less than a full tank.
Make sure you have the phone number to the rental counter where you signed for the car.
Notify them that the tank is not full and to rectify the situation.
Sometimes I got an upgrade car with a full tank at the lower rental price.

Insurance

Also note that many credit cards provide car rental insurance at no cost, you just have to use the card to rent and decline the insurance from the rental agency.  For example, all VISA Signature cards do so and I’m sure that many other cards do, too.

Insurance

Many moons ago my Hertz insured  rental got hit in the parking lot at Harrahs in Laughlin. Got a police report, drove back to McCarran Hertz rental and flew home no questions asked. Counter agent assured me the transaction would have been much more difficult without their insurance. Something to consider. Also, consider Sixt and Silvercar when renting in Vegas.

@VegasVic provided some good advice. Budget Fastbreak is an easy online application too. They're part of the Avis group, but much lower priced most of the time. Also, check your credit card benefits, AAA or AARP to see if you get insurance coverage on rentals, upgraded membership, etc.

Downtown?

4 Queens and the Golden Nugget Has a Rental desk towards the pool area. So convenient! Easy is good.
