All of the car rental Co’s charge almost $ 100.00 for taxes, surcharges, and other fees. How can I rent a car for ten days without some of these charges?
Renting a car at the airport is absurdly convenient. The new Rent A Car Center has large shuttle buses running constantly to and from the airport. Fill out the online form to join the frequent renter programs like Hertz #1 Club and Thrifty Blue Chip. Even if you do not rent frequently it’s worth joining since it doesn’t cost anything and you get to bypass the line at the counter. I was driving away in a rental car in less than 30 minutes after getting off the plane my last trip there.
There is an extra tax added to airport rentals that you don’t pay if you rent from another location but the tax is not that much. Something like 9%. But you can avoid it by renting your car from a Las Vegas Blvd. car rental agency (most hotels have them in the lobby) and returning the car at the airport on your way home. I’ve done that several times.

There is no way around it but to rent a car outside the McCarran rent-a-car center. The only problem is that if you rent outside the airport, you are expected to drop off outside the airport to avoid fees. You can rent from some hotels like MGM Grand or Harrah’s

Most of those fees also apply on off airport rentals. But really, if you are going to be hanging around the strip, take a cab or shuttle to the hotel and only get a rental car for the 2-3 days you will be doing sightseeing away from the strip.
