Question 1

What are the major attractions in Reno?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Reno is all locked in but your travel itinerary is looking a bit empty, we can give you a helping hand.

Take in the best that this city has to offer by adding National Bowling Stadium and National Automobile Museum to your travel itinerary. If you have some extra time, check out Nevada Museum of Art and Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center too.

Near the city center, Peppermill is one sight you might like to consider adding to your to-do list. If you still have room on that travel itinerary, Grand Sierra Resort Casino and Atlantis Casino will keep you busy as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Reno?

Accepted Answer

If you're eager for a day trip out of Reno, Dayton, 25 miles away, is an attractive option. Popular attractions here include Dayton Valley Golf Course and Dayton State Park. Want to keep the good times going? New Washoe City should be your next stop. It's home to Bowers Mansion and Washoe Lake State Park and is 18 miles away.

Question 3

Where are the best convention centers near Reno?

Accepted Answer

Situated 3 miles from Reno, Reno-Sparks Convention Center is a great place to go for a work conference. After a huge day of mingling and making new connections, you'll be able to get behind the wheel of your rental car and drive out to a nearby café or go for a leisurely spin around the area.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Reno?

Accepted Answer

Having your own car in Reno will give you more freedom to go wherever you like. Maybe you can't wait to leave the city behind, explore the country laneways, and go wherever the wind takes you. If so, grab the keys to one of our full-size or mid-size SUVs and take in the desert landscapes in the surrounding area. If you just can't get enough of the bright lights of the city, go for something small. Navigating heavy traffic and busy streets will be a whole lot easier with a compact or mini car.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Reno?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's a great range of both luxury and economy rental vehicles available in Reno. What you go for will depend on what you're willing to spend and the activities you've got planned. Specialty and prestige vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splurging, why not pick up a high-end SUV, or perhaps a fancy medium-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you just need something to whiz around town in as cheaply as possible, you're better off going with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your wallet).

Question 6

Is it difficult to park in Reno?

Accepted Answer

Most of the time, finding a parking spot in Reno is a breeze. If you're planning to head to one of the busier sights in town, it's a smart idea to look at parking options before you set off.

Question 7

Does Reno have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

One awesome thing about vacationing in a smaller city is less traffic, so don't stress too much about rush-hour gridlock. With a population of around 241,400, you can expect a smooth Reno driving experience.

Question 8

Are there speed limits in Reno?

Accepted Answer

There sure are. In Reno, speed limits range from 15mph to 75mph. Most built-up areas have a default speed limit of 30mph unless otherwise indicated.

Question 9

What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Washoe County?

Accepted Answer

Question 11
