Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “Which days have the lowest car rental rates?”, “Which month has the best car rental rates?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “How does the daily rate change with rental length?” and “How much do rentals cost by car type?” are built from the daily rates Priceline customers actually paid for rental cars in Las Vegas, grouped by pick-up month, day of the week, how far ahead they booked (up to 90 days), how many days they rented and the type of car. A city’s charts include rentals picked up at its airports.
Where a location has too few rentals to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from nearby locations with similar prices and fit it to the rates booked here.
Because past rates don’t reflect today’s market, each chart is then fitted to the rates found in this page’s current search: its value at the search’s own pick-up month, day, booking lead time and rental length is set to the current good-deal rate.
The Good to Know deal cards and the cars listed on this page come directly from that recent search, not from historical bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I rent a car for my Las Vegas trip?
Renting a car in Las Vegas gives you the ultimate freedom to explore beyond the Strip. Imagine cruising to the stunning Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, or even a day trip to Zion National Park. It's your ticket to unlocking the wider Nevada landscape at your own pace.
What's the typical cost for car rental in Las Vegas?
The typical cost for car rental in Las Vegas is $59 per day, with December being the cheapest month at $50 and October the priciest at $68. The cheapest car type is the Supplier Choice Car at $45 per day, while the Mid Size Car is the most popular choice, accounting for 17% of rentals. Rates barely change by day of week, ranging only from $58 on Wednesday to $59 on Saturday.
Which car rental companies operate at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS)?
You'll find a wide array of reputable car rental companies at the McCarran Rent-A-Car Center, including Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Sixt, and Thrifty. Priceline helps you compare deals from all these trusted providers to find the perfect fit for your trip.
Where do I pick up my rental car at LAS?
All major car rental agencies operate from the McCarran Rent-A-Car Center, located about three miles from the airport terminals. You'll take a complimentary shuttle bus directly from the terminal to the Rent-A-Car Center to pick up your vehicle.
What documents do I need to rent a car in Las Vegas?
You'll typically need a valid driver's license from your home country, a major credit card in your name, and generally, you'll need to be at least 21 years old. Some companies may require an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license isn't in English, so it's smart to check with your chosen rental agency beforehand.
Are there age restrictions for renting a car in Las Vegas?
Yes, most car rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Drivers aged 21-24 often incur a 'young driver' surcharge, which varies by company and can add to your daily rate. It's always best to confirm the exact age requirements and fees with your chosen provider when booking.
Should I purchase car rental insurance in Las Vegas?
Car rental insurance is an important consideration. Your personal auto insurance policy or credit card benefits might offer some coverage, but it's crucial to understand what's covered and what's not. Rental companies offer options like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), supplemental liability insurance, and personal accident insurance. Reviewing your existing coverage and comparing it with the rental company's offerings will help you make an informed decision that gives you peace of mind.
What are common add-ons and are they worth it?
Common add-ons include GPS navigation systems, child safety seats, roadside assistance, and additional driver fees. Whether they're 'worth it' depends on your specific needs. If you're traveling with kids, a safety seat is a must. If you plan to explore remote areas, GPS or a reliable mapping app on your phone could be invaluable. Consider your itinerary and group size when deciding on these extras.
How does parking work in Las Vegas?
Parking on the Strip can vary. Many hotels now charge for self-parking and valet parking, especially for non-guests. However, off-Strip hotels and attractions often offer free parking.
