Introduction

Nestled in the heart of the Biggest Little City in the World, Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) is the key portal for travelers ready to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of Reno and the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Tahoe.

Advance Booking: Reno and nearby Lake Tahoe are popular destinations year-round. To ensure your choice of vehicle and possibly lock in a better rate, consider booking your rental car in advance.

2. Exiting Reno-Tahoe International Airport:

Primary Exit Route: The main route from RNO is E Plumb Ln, which leads you west towards downtown Reno and east towards the connection with US-395, a significant north-south freeway.

Tolls: Nevada predominantly offers toll-free driving, and you won’t encounter any tolls when driving in the Reno area.

Road Conditions: While Reno’s roads are generally in good condition, winter trips to the mountains can mean snowy or icy roads, so consider a vehicle with all-wheel drive if traveling during these months.
