The Car Rental Centre is a new facility of the airport that opened in 2007, and where all the Las Vegas Airport car hire companies are now located. Since that Europcar is about three miles from the airport terminals, passengers will need to catch one of the free airport shuttles to reach the rental counters and to collect their vehicles. The shuttles are available approximately every five minutes from Exit Doors 10 and 11, and run twenty-four hours a day. They are also accessible to disabled passengers.

All Europcar’s vehicles are divided into various car categories, and are therefore hired accordingly, and not by specific make and model. Customers who would prefer cheaper rental rates will find the Economy, Compact and Midsize categories to be ideal, with cars such as the Chevrolet Aveo, Nissan Versa and Toyota Corolla. These cars have automatic transmissions, and have room for four or five passengers and an item or two of luggage.

The Las Vegas Airport car rental companies have certain terms and conditions that need to be noted, for example, minimum age requirements, driving license regulations and payment terms and conditions. In general, the primary renter (and additional drivers listed on the rental contract) will need to be at least 21 years of age, and should present a valid drivers license and credit card at the start of the rental. A hold will be placed on the credit card for the estimated total charges of the rental, which will not be available for use until the rental has been paid by the customer at the end of the rental period. A debit card may also be used for this purpose by renters older than 25, but then an additional $200.00 could be held. The drivers license of the renter should have been issued in the United States, however, foreign renters are also permitted to hire vehicles from Europcar, provided that other documents are supplied. Canadian-endorsed drivers licenses are also usually accepted.

One way hires could incur extra charges, depending on the return location chosen for the vehicle, and vehicles from Europcar may only be permitted into certain nearby states, and may not be driven to all parts of America. Further enquiries will need to be made by customers who would like to travel out of the country, as a cross-border rental will need to arranged. The car hire companies sometimes only allow certain vehicle categories to be chosen when a one-way hire is requested.

Similar to all car hire companies, Europcar offers a few additional items of equipment that can be hired.
