Vegas Car Rentals

Our family is looking into a vacation home in Arizona from Christmas to just after New Years. We have found that we can save over $1200 flying to Vegas and renting a car there as opposed to Phoenix while our location is about half way between. The question I have concerns mileage on the car outside of the state of the rental. We will no doubt be doing most of our driving in Arizona maybe even some in California. I've found on some car rental sites they say "typically" mileage in bordering states of the rental is included. I would like to know "specifically" whether Las Vegas rentals offer border state mileage.

If anyone has any experience and can help it is much appreciated.

I have no input re: rental places, however the drive on I93 from LV to AZ will take you over the new bridge by the Hoover Dam.

Pretty cool.

Yeah, when I was there 15 years ago you could drive right over the dam and we took the tour. It will be very interesting the changes.

All I can say is Priceline rocks. Just booked today.

Your Offer Price: $11.00 (per day)
Total Rental Days: 8 days(7 days and 23 hours)
Subtotal: $88.00
Taxes and Fees: $89.12
Total Charges: $177.12
Lowest Published Price: $336.68
Total Savings:* $159.56 (You saved 47%)

It says unlimited mileage. Not sure why you wouldn't be allowed out of state as long as you plan to return at the same terminal.

Bring your insurance slip with you. Last time the counter gave us a hassle about requiring liability insurance (as opposed to collision which can come included depending on your cc).

Ha ha. Just tried lowballing on Priceline last night. Offered $8 a day for a full size. I can get a full size from Dec 24 to Jan 4 for $260 -$275 and think I can likely do a bit better. Just want to be sure I'm not going to get bitten with the out of state mileage crap. I have a friend that said it happened to him renting in California years ago but I think it involved a Mexican joy ride.

Just call a couple of the majors in Vegas. I've used Alamo, Hertz and the above is National.

I can't see why any issue with traveling between states as the is no way they can tell, out of country (ie Mexico) different story. As for insurance, get a rider coverage letter from your insurance co., prior to going just to be safe. That's what I have done.

Was thinking the same thing . . . unless they GPS track the vehicle 24/7, how are they gonna know where you are?

never had a problem with renting a car and driving across state lines. Never even heard of this before? as stated, how would they know? I guess they could be pricks and use GPS. If the mileage is reasonable, should not even care.

never rented a car while in Vegas; any preferred car rental company at Vegas airport or are they all off site? getting a rate of $55 + $45 tax for four days which is hard to resist. Can easily spend $100 on taxis while there. Thanks.

where is this rate? I usually just use priceline, which means you get an airport rental.

If it's not an airport rental then be sure to have your passport with you to rent the car (I would assume you have it with you at the airport). First time in life I have needed a passport to rent a car was my last trip to Vegas. After a 20+ min walk down the strip to pick it up at TI I was fkn pissed.

I got the best deal through Hotwire last time. Priceline is dead to me.

I think all the rentals are just off site of the airport. Free shuttle to pick-up right out the front doors.

Carrentals.com. There are some as low as 12 range plus tax.
