Before the major makeover that McCarran is still fixing up, finding a place to rent a car was a nightmare. The baggage claim area was always a mess and finding ground transportation was a chore especially for out of towners (which is almost everyone). Enter the MCCarran Rent-a-Car Center, a facility located roughly 3 miles away from the airport terminals, unveiled a little over a year ago and is probably one of the airports most needed features.
There is a free shuttle to the Rent-A-Car facility, which from the outside looks like an arena or a mall, but one for car companies galore. Finding a car here is no problem and the entire process was easy as pie. The conveniences don't stop here, there are various airport shuttles from this location and there are check-ins available during peak seasons to expedite passenger processing. I applaud the folks behind the curtains who pulled the trigger to execute this marvelous idea. Bravo.
