Reno

A rental car for the week.

Some of us drive our own car. Some of us pick one up in Reno because the flight was the way in. The car is a contract with that company, and the playa is a kind of dust they may not have priced in the headline.

We are an independent outfitter. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Burning Man Project. The event name is used so you know which week this is for.

Dust, cleaning, and the contract

Playa dust is fine and alkaline. It packs into carpet, vents, and a trunk that was opened at camp. Water alone turns it into paste. Tell the company where you are going before you pay, and read the lines on cleaning, interior damage, and driving off pavement.

Check your contract. We do not invent a cleaning fee and paste it here. If the contract is silent, ask them in writing. A shrug at the counter is not a waiver you can show later.

A car is not an RV. Tanks, a generator, and whether a rental RV is even allowed are on renting an RV. If the bed is a rig, the drinking hose, sewer kit, and leveling blocks are the RV week kit. A car does not need that kit. A vehicle pass, if the car needs one, is on Burning Man Project's ticketing pages, not on this one. The ticket season guide points at those pages. We do not sell the pass.

The night before the drive, and the night after, is a Reno hotel. Gear that should not ride in a suitcase is shipped to Reno.

This slot is reserved for a car-rental affiliate program. Until the tracking URL is in our config, it stays as text.

DiscoverCars

A Reno car search, once that link is a tracking URL. The contract is still the company's.

Questions

Will the rental company charge for playa dust?
Check your contract. We do not publish a cleaning fee, a damage number, or an off-pavement rule. The contract you sign is the one that counts, and two companies do not share a fee.
Is a rental car the same decision as a rental RV?
No. An RV has tanks, a generator question, and a vehicle pass of its own. A car is a smaller contract with the same dust. The RV pages are the rig. This page is the car.
Do you have a car-rental link yet?
The DiscoverCars slot is a placeholder. It is text until a tracking URL is filled in. We will not point it at a page that is not that program.
