LAS · Las Vegas, NV
Las Vegas Airport Car Rental
The Strip is only the start. A LAS rental gets you to Zion, the Grand Canyon and beyond.
Car rental at Harry Reid International Airport
You can walk the Strip, but the best of Las Vegas is often a drive away: Red Rock Canyon at sunrise, the Hoover Dam, or the longer haul to Zion and the Grand Canyon. A rental from Harry Reid International turns a weekend into a Southwest road trip.
LAS keeps all its rental brands in one consolidated center a short shuttle from the terminals. One call locks your rate, and our agents will right-size the car for desert highways where a little extra comfort and horsepower goes a long way.
Where to pick up your car at LAS
All LAS rentals operate from the McCarran Rent-A-Car Center about three miles from the terminals, served by free, frequent shuttles from the arrivals level of Terminals 1 and 3.
Rental tips for Las Vegas
- Size up for desert road trips. Zion and the Grand Canyon are long, hot drives where a mid-size or SUV is worth it.
- Start canyon drives early; summer afternoons routinely top 105°F and cars (and drivers) prefer the morning.
- Confirm unlimited mileage. The Grand Canyon's South Rim is a 4.5-hour drive each way.
- Keep water in the car and watch your fuel on remote stretches between Vegas and the parks.
