Where to get the best value for a rental car in Las Vegas
Best value for a rental car in Las Vegas usually means cheap pricing, clean, quality cars that actually work, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and easy check-in and drop-off services. For those flying into Vegas, they want to be able to pick up their reserved vehicles quickly at the airport in an orderly process. Likewise, if the rental company is picking up the customer, he/she does not want to wait forever after having arrived.
To find companies that offer the best value, we searched forums looking for reviews on different companies. One that came up rather quickly as standing out from the pack was Thrifty Car Rental where most people indicated that the pickup service from the airport was always within approximately ten minutes and who felt the price for their rental duration was more than reasonable. Many went on to say that they had no problems with the maintenance and operation of the vehicles and were able to return the cars within a matter of minutes. Many respondents also indicated that they used valuable coupons from entertainment books making their rental quite a bit less costly. All around, the comments were favorable on many “best value” features.
One thing that is truly amazing about renting a car in Vegas compared to other major cities in the country is the price. Many people have said that it was quite common to find companies that offered rentals for as low as nine dollars per day. In fact, going to several sites that “find the best deal”, the home pages advertise that they can find car rentals in Las Vegas for as little as eight dollars per day.
Further, it was felt that unless you find a good deal online before leaving, that should you decide to use a rental car after some time in Vegas, you might be better served to check the local privately owned companies and speak to the family or owner directly. Many felt that using big international companies and having to deal with the airport congestion were major headaches and expense. But if you can see the car and the sales office in person, it might be to your advantage price-wise.
In summary, although this article was not about the worst car rentals in Las Vegas, you really must do your research before leaving. The internet is a vast assemblage of information and you will easily find the companies to avoid and the companies to use when you are looking for the best value for a rental car in Las Vegas.
