An economy car rental in Carson City allows easier navigation of narrow streets and to squeeze into tight parking spaces, especially if looking to access Carson City’s downtown area. If you plan to travel with your family, an SUV is best. People traveling with a large family or a large group of people should get a minivan since it contains enough sitting and trunk space. Travelers should get a 4-wheel during snowing seasons for easy navigation of the snowy terrain, and those intending to drive to off-road destinations will appreciate renting an SUV.

May 2018
Pros:
The ladies at pick up were wonderful, helpful, and apologietic about the car not being the best for such a long journey.Cons:
The car has nearly 40k miles on it and is worse for the wear. It rattled and had stains on the back seat. Upon drop off, the woman at the desk informed me that I would have to pay a $259 cleaning fee because “she was not cleaning that up”. I had just had her car cleaned. I left, went to CVS, got a lint roller, and rolled someone else’s dog’s hair out of the car (the hair was short, my service dog does not shed). She made me feel awful, repeatedly, until my husband finally showed up and informed her that my dog is a licensed and registered service dog, at which point she said she “supposed she’d waive the fee, even though the car wasn’t in great shape”. This car was in better shape than when we received it. She is doing serious damage to the Budget brand just because she doesn’t want to do her job and clean cars.10.0 Wonderful

Jan 2017
Pros:
The lady working at the desk was very efficient and fast. She was also apologetic about the lack of car availability.Cons:
1) There were zero cars available when I arrived at the time of my reservation. I had to wait over an hour for a car to show up. 2) It was quite difficult to find the rental store's location, as there were no signs anywhere. 3) The cost seemed excessive ($130 for a 4-hour drive to the Bay area).2.0 Poor
Feb 2016
Cons:
Wasted our time going to pick up a reservation that was made an hour earlier. Customer service representative made no effort to fix the situation and was visibly annoyed and walked away as I was asking her if she knows of other options because I took a cab to get there assuming that I had a car because of the confirmed reservation.10.0 Wonderful
