When renting a car in Las Vegas, proceed with caution—this advice comes straight from personal experience. Here’s what I learned the hard way:
First off, try to steer clear of Fox Rent A Car if you can.
1. This time around, I opted for Europcar. Unfortunately, there was only one window open for pick-up, which meant an agonizing 50-minute wait in line.
2. The condition of the vehicles left much to be desired—average at best. On the bright side, they do allow you to choose your own car, so it’s like picking the tallest among the dwarfs.
3. Returning the car proved to be the most challenging part! The GPS navigation led me to a completely wrong location ‼️, costing me an additional 20 minutes. If you’re renting from Europcar, make sure to leave early and head directly to the correct address: **8810 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89123**.
Please note that the address **3773 Howard Hughes Pkwy** is incorrect.
4. The shuttle bus only takes you to the rental center ‼️. From there, you’ll need to transfer to another shuttle to reach the airport departure area ‼️. It’s highly inconvenient, with unpredictable timing. In my case, I didn’t hesitate to splurge on a taxi to ensure I caught my flight.
As it turned out, the security check at 7:20 AM was virtually empty, or else I would have undoubtedly missed my flight. The entire experience was nerve-wracking, and I’m sharing this to help others sidestep the same pitfalls.
