Safe or Showy in Vegas

By Allan Subandos


Las Vegas national car rentals are, for the most part, the same as other car rental companies, all of which are doing hot business these days. Some differences do exist among national companies, depending upon locations. Mostly those differences are in models, particularly luxury models. Some chains in smaller cities might offer sporty Chryslers as their highest end vehicles, while in Las Vegas they offer Cadillacs.

Las Vegas has some differences in private rental agencies though. They do their major business in the extremely snazzy, sports cars. In Las Vegas you can get something as high end as super model Porsche Carreras on down to lower end but still fancy sports cars. They have something in just about every sports car price range.

Las Vegas Car Rental Where to Go to Rent Your Ride

Because millions of people travel to Las Vegas to dine, dance, see shows, and most of all gamble, rental car agencies, both public and private, do a fast business. Vega probably owns more rental companies than in many, if not most cities. Probably you will be covered much better by renting with a national chain, but you might want to try a local agency as long you are confident that you are protected by adequate insurance. But remember, no matter how hot the car, with private rental agencies, you'd best always read the fine print.

National agencies are known for their fair practices to keep both you and them safe, but with privately owned agencies, perhaps especially in Vegas where adrenaline is high and car renters are more likely to rent something way above their travel needs, private rental agencies have less to lose than you might think.

The best, safest place to reserve your rental is on the Internet. This can be done well in advance of your travel date. Online rental allows you to research different Las Vegas car rental companies and even book package deals including hotel and airfare. Many incentives are also available online. Besides having a better selection of vehicles and being accessible online, national car rental companies also offer discounts to rent through them. Registering your email address with a site will allow you to receive advanced notice of specials, online coupons, and discount codes.

Be aware that many Las Vegas car rental companies also offer weekend rates of up to 50% off, and they also offer special weekly rates. Memberships are available which include member discounted rates. The larger chains also offer discounts to state and government employees, large corporations and associations, and military personnel. So you decide for yourself. When you go to Vegas to rent a car, what matters most to you?
