Cheap car rentals at Las Vegas Airport

Airport car rentals can be pricier than neighbourhood pick-ups. However, their convenience and large fleet still make them a worthwhile option.


Here are some ways to book an airport car rental without draining your bank account. 


  1. Choose an economy vehicle 🚗 - While economy cars will have weaker engines and basic interiors, their low-cost pricing makes them a favourable option. 
  2. Drive during the off-season ☀️ - Vegas’s off-seasons are summer and winter. During this time, car rentals will be significantly cheaper. Just make sure you’re getting a rental with decent AC to combat the summer desert heat. 
  3. Use a buy now, pay later 🤑 - Spreading the cost of your rental over time means no large sum of money is leaving your account in one go, putting less strain on your bank account.
