Does anyone know why the rental rates are so high in Reno now? In the past I was always able to get a car for $100 to $150 a week, now they're all $250+ and that's before taxes. The week I'm looking at is August 9th, that's after H.A.N. Is Reno/Tahoe that busy in the middle of August?

I've not rented a car in Reno, but I do rent them when I travel. I've found the best rates when I actually call Alamo/National directly and bargain with them on the phone. I never find great rates online.

I usually ask for multiple discounts - military (my husband is active duty), AAA, American Express card holder, and so on. Ten to fifteen minutes on the phone usually gets me what I want for a good price.

Just scoped Enterprise off-airport and found rates starting at 145/week for super-economy cars. Maybe the airport has significantly raised their fees for car rental companies???
