Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Reno
- Reno SUV rentals are known for their versatility. They can accommodate more passengers and offer ample cargo space. Being in the Sierra Nevada region, Reno can experience various weather conditions, including snow in the winter. Many SUVs come equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD), making them well-suited for driving in snow or on rough terrain. SUVs often come with advanced safety features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist.
- If you are visiting Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), you will find this is a great place to pick up Reno SUV rentals. With around nine different rental car companies operating here, you will have plenty of choices. Reno-Tahoe International Airport offers easy access to the rental car agencies, conveniently located right outside the terminal building. You can find all rental car counters in the baggage claim area. Once you've finished the rental paperwork, you can pick up your vehicle from the parking garage just outside the baggage claim area.
- Reno experiences varying weather conditions, including snow in the winter. Be prepared for changing weather and road conditions. Reno is in a region with wildlife, so be cautious, especially during dawn and dusk. Watch for deer and other animals that may unexpectedly cross the road. Reno is situated at a higher altitude. If you're not accustomed to high-altitude driving, take it easy, stay hydrated, and be prepared for slower acceleration and reduced engine performance. The intense sunlight in Reno can create sun glare during certain times of the day.
- The winter season, especially from November through March, can be challenging for driving in Reno. Snow and ice on the roads can make driving hazardous, leading to slippery conditions and reduced visibility. Just like in many urban areas, the morning from around 7:00 to 9:00 am and evening from around 4:00 to 6:00 pm rush hours can be congested with heavy traffic in Reno. Reno is a popular tourist destination, especially during summer and special events like the Reno Air Races. Increased tourism can result in crowded roads and longer wait times at popular attractions.

What is one of the most reliable SUVs I can rent in Reno?
The Subaru Forester is often regarded as a reliable vehicle for several reasons, many of which stem from Subaru's design philosophy, engineering choices, and reputation. Subaru is known for its symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, which is standard on all Forester models. This AWD system provides enhanced traction and stability, making the Forester well-suited for various road conditions, including rain and snow. The Subaru Forester typically comes equipped with a horizontally opposed "boxer" engine. This design helps lower the vehicle's center of gravity, improving stability and handling.

Pros:
Easy check in/out process. Employee was very friendly and helpful.Cons:
The A/C did not work. The only reason it was bearable was because we went up the mountain and had the windows down with the cool breeze. But it was very hot /sweaty with the windows up and in Reno without the colder air outside.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
We rented a convertible for my son's graduation since it was a drive through due to covid. And we're going to cruise around town and just enjoy the day. I rented the convertible weeks before. We get there the day of graduation and the gal proceeds to tell us there are NONE avaliable. I was so upset for him since this end of the school year was such a bummer. It was just a huge let down.2.0 Poor

Car rented was not what was reserved (reserved midsize 4wd SUV, they put us in a larger 2wd SUV saying that was all they had). Check in process was slow. Car was clumsy but clean and functional.Thrifty

Pros:
Better mileage than expectedCons:
Pick up: disaster. Despite having RESERVED a mini-van class car, there was none available when I arrived. What's the point of a reservation? Instead they "upgraded" me to a CRV, which has half the storage space. Extremely unhappy because I planned to move across the country in the larger car, not a tiny CRV.6.0 Okay

I tried canceling this booking less than 24 hours after paying, due to the California wildfires. I was told I could cancel since it hadn’t been 24 hours yet, but weeks have gone by and not one worker is willing to help issue a refund...7.2 Good
