The McCarran Rent-A-Car Center


Opened in April 2007, the $166.8 million facility, three miles south of the airport Terminal 1, houses 11 car rental companies (Alamo, Avis, Advantage Rent-A-Car, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Savmor and Thrifty). There are no longer car rental counters available at McCarran Airport itself. The Center is modelled after similar facilities in Dallas, Phoenix and San Francisco and aims to relief airport traffic congestion as rental customers will be picking up their cars outside of the airport venue. The common-use shuttles also relieve airport traffic as customers only wait for the next Center shuttle rather than wait for the individual rental car company shuttle.

The 68-acre Rent-A-Car Center features a three-story, 111,000-square-foot customer service building, and an adjacent 1.8 million-square-foot parking garage with room for more than 5,000 vehicles.

Rental customers can get to McCarran Rent-A-Car Center by taking the free airport shuttle buses at exit door 10 or 11. The shuttles depart approximately every five minutes.
