Car Rental

Are all agencies open after midnight for pickup or am I limited to who I rent with?

In Las Vegas, not all car rental agencies are open 24 hours a day, but several major agencies offer late-night or 24-hour pickup services, especially at McCarran International Airport (now known as Harry Reid International Airport), where most car rental offices are located. However, availability can vary depending on the agency, location, and the time of your arrival.

Here are a few key points to consider when planning a car rental pickup after midnight:

  • Major Rental Agencies with 24-Hour Service: Some rental companies at the airport are open 24 hours a day. These typically include large, international brands like:
    • Enterprise
    • Hertz
    • Avis
    • Budget
    • National
    • Alamo
    These agencies tend to have staff available for pickups, even late at night. It’s always a good idea to check in advance to confirm that your reservation will be honored at your specific time of arrival.
  • Other Agencies and Locations: Smaller or off-airport agencies may have limited hours, and they may not offer late-night pickups. Some may close earlier or operate on a reduced schedule after midnight. Always check the hours of operation for the agency where you plan to rent the car, as well as whether you’ll need to arrange for an after-hours pickup or key drop-off service if you’re renting outside standard business hours.
  • Booking in Advance: It’s highly recommended to book your rental in advance, especially if you’re arriving late at night. Many agencies offer online reservations that guarantee your vehicle will be ready for pickup, even after midnight. Some rental companies also offer after-hours pickup instructions if their counter is closed.
  • Airport Pickup: If you're picking up at the airport, you'll find that most of the larger rental companies at the airport offer an after-hours key pick-up process. You may need to follow special instructions (e.g., pick up the keys from a lockbox or kiosk) if you're arriving after normal business hours.

In summary, while not all car rental agencies are open 24 hours, many of the major agencies at McCarran International Airport do offer late-night and 24-hour services, so you’ll have several options for picking up your car after midnight. Be sure to confirm your rental details and the hours of operation ahead of time to avoid any issues upon arrival.
