What kind of rental car should I get for Reno?

Sure, you could vacation in Reno without a rental vehicle. But with loads to see and do here, having one would definitely make your trip more convenient and fun. If you plan to head out of the city and into nature, consider a set of wheels with some power. A larger car like an SUV will take you to the area's rivers in style. Planning to spend most of your getaway close to the bright lights of the city? A small, economical car is your best bet. Driving through narrow streets and squeezing into tight parking lots will be a lot less stressful in one of these.

All you have to do is work out what's the best fit, pack up the car, and rack up those miles.
