About renting a car with Payless at The Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas

Payless does not operate a counter at The Venetian Resort, so pickup requires a trip to the Harry Reid International Airport Rent-A-Car Center at 7135 Gilespie Street — roughly 3 to 5 miles from the Strip. A rideshare from The Venetian runs around US$25-40 depending on demand, while a taxi typically takes about 7 minutes and costs US$20-25. Once at the airport, free blue-and-white shuttles depart every five minutes from Terminal 1 (doors 10 and 11) and Terminal 3 (Level Zero) for the three-mile ride to the facility — budget at least 30 to 60 minutes for the full pickup process including queues. Nevada has no toll roads, so you won't face a daily transponder package or pay-by-plate admin fees that apply in states like Florida or Texas. Fuel in Las Vegas averages around US$5.00 per gallon, notably higher than the US national average, so refueling before returning the vehicle is worth planning ahead — fuel service charges from rental companies typically run US$7-9 per gallon on any shortfall. A credit card in the primary driver's name is required at pickup for the deposit hold, which typically runs around US$200 or more depending on vehicle class. International visitors whose license uses a non-Latin script — Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Cyrillic, for example — will need an International Driving Permit alongside their home license.

On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee.

Is there a Payless counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

No, there is no Payless counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas. Payless operates exclusively from the Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) Rental Car Center, located at 7135 Gilespie St, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas does have an on-site rental desk, but it is operated by Hertz, not Payless. If your booking is with Payless, you will need to travel to the Rental Car Center at the airport to pick up your vehicle.

The Payless counter at the LAS Rental Car Center is open daily from 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM, so plan your pickup time accordingly. After-hours key drop is available at the Rental Car Center even when the counter is closed.

How do I get from The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas to the Payless pickup counter?

To reach the Payless counter from The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, you need to travel to the Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) Rental Car Center at 7135 Gilespie St, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

If you are arriving by plane, the process from the terminal is as follows:

  • Exit to Ground Transportation from Baggage Claim on Level Zero
  • Follow signs to the Rental Car Shuttle, located outside West doors 51 to 54 and East doors 55 to 58 at Terminal 3
  • Take the consolidated rental car shuttle to the Rental Car Center (approximately 5 to 10 minutes)
  • Locate the Payless counter inside the Rental Car Center and complete your pickup

If you are already at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas and heading to pick up your Payless vehicle, the most practical option is to take a rideshare or taxi to the Rental Car Center at the airport. The Venetian's Koval Lane entrance is a convenient rideshare access point. The Payless counter is open daily from 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM.

What documents do I need to pick up a Payless rental near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

When picking up your Payless rental near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, you must present the following documents at the Rental Car Center counter:

  • A valid, original, physical driver's license in the main driver's name
  • A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
  • A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
  • Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
  • Round-trip flight or travel tickets (required for international visitors)

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory. For licenses in other non-English scripts, an IDP is strongly recommended. The IDP is a translation only and must be carried alongside your original license.

All documents must be physical originals. Digital copies shown on a phone or tablet are not accepted at the Payless counter. Debit and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.

Are there toll roads near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas for Payless renters?

No, there are no toll roads in Nevada. Guests staying at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas who rent through Payless will not encounter any toll charges on public highways, interstates, or state routes anywhere in the state.

Common routes you may drive include I-15, US-95, and SR-160, all of which are completely toll-free. Nevada has no congestion charges, emissions zones, or city-center fees of any kind.

Note that state park entry fees, such as the US$10 per vehicle fee at Valley of Fire, are not tolls and are paid separately at the park entrance. These are not related to your Payless rental agreement.

If you plan to drive beyond Nevada into neighboring states such as California, toll roads may apply there. Hola Car Rentals includes Tolls Cashback on all bookings, so you can claim up to 5% of your total booking value back for any tolls paid during your rental period. Submit your claim within 30 days of returning the vehicle to [email protected] with your rental agreement and toll receipts.

What are the local taxes and fees on a Payless rental near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

Renting a car in Las Vegas through Payless involves several local taxes and fees that are added to the base rental rate. Guests researching options near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas should be aware of the following standard charges:

  • Nevada rental surcharge: 10%
  • State sales tax: 6.85%
  • Clark County tax: 2%

These taxes bring the minimum combined rate to approximately 18.85% on top of the base rental price. Airport concession recovery fees and customer facility charges may also apply when picking up at the Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center, where Payless is located.

By contrast, the on-site Hertz desk at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas can carry a Hotel Concession and Commission Fee Recovery of up to 32%, which is significantly higher than the airport-based fees that apply to Payless rentals. Choosing Payless at the airport Rental Car Center can therefore result in lower surcharges than renting directly from a Strip hotel desk.

Your booking confirmation will show which taxes and fees are included in your prepaid rate and which are due at the counter.

Is a credit card required for the Payless deposit near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

Yes, a major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is required at the Payless counter near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas. This card is used to place a temporary security hold, not a charge, on your available credit.

For standard vehicles in the United States, the typical hold is approximately US$300 to US$400, though the exact amount is set by Payless at the time of pickup and may vary by vehicle class or rental duration.

  • Debit cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold
  • Prepaid or virtual cards are not accepted
  • The card must be physically present at the counter with the driver's name printed on it
  • Someone else's card is not accepted, even if they are present

The hold is released after you return the vehicle, but your bank controls how quickly it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days. Bringing a backup credit card in your own name is always a good precaution when picking up your Payless rental.

Can drivers under 25 rent a Payless car near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

Yes, drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent a Payless car near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, but a young-renter surcharge applies and certain vehicle classes are restricted.

The minimum age for Payless rentals in Las Vegas is 21. Drivers in the 21 to 24 age range will be charged a daily young-renter fee at the counter in addition to the base rental rate. This fee is set by Payless and varies by location.

Vehicle class restrictions also apply for under-25 renters. Categories such as full-size, SUV, convertible, luxury, and premium vehicles are typically reserved for renters aged 25 and older. Economy, compact, and intermediate classes are generally available to younger renters.

Additionally, for Payless rentals, any additional driver must generally be at least 25 years old at the time of pickup. If you plan to add a second driver who is under 25, confirm eligibility directly at the Payless counter at the Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center before finalizing your agreement.

How does travel assistance work for Payless renters staying at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

Most Hola Car Rentals bookings, including Payless reservations made near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection. This benefit is particularly useful if an unexpected medical situation or travel disruption occurs during your Las Vegas trip.

Coverage typically includes:

  • Travel and medical insurance for up to 5 passengers
  • Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
  • Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
  • Flight cancellation insurance

To use the assistance, contact Terrawind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week before incurring expenses, as some reimbursements require prior authorization. Check your booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your reservation.

Important: this benefit does not apply to customers who are residents of the United States or Canada. It is designed for international travelers visiting Las Vegas from outside North America. It does not cover damage to your Payless rental vehicle (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/ALI/SLI).

What is the fuel policy for a Payless rental near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

Payless rentals near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.

  • At pickup, confirm the fuel level with the agent and ensure it is recorded on your rental agreement
  • Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge and odometer
  • Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the Rental Car Center at 7135 Gilespie St before returning the vehicle
  • Keep your final fuel receipt as proof in case of any dispute

If you return the Payless vehicle with less than a full tank, you may be charged for the fuel shortfall at the partner's refueling rate, which is typically higher than the pump price, plus a refueling service fee.

For after-hours returns at the Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center, photograph the fuel gauge and odometer in the return bay before dropping the keys. Leave the fuel receipt in the key envelope if one is provided. This documentation protects you if a fuel charge appears after the rental ends.

Can I add an additional driver to my Payless booking near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your Payless rental near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, but the additional driver must be present at the Payless counter at the Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center at the time of pickup.

If your booking does not include a free additional driver, Payless charges US$13 per rental day plus taxes, with a maximum cap of US$65 plus taxes for the additional driver fee.

Requirements for the additional driver include:

  • Must be physically present at the counter with a valid driver's license
  • Must meet the minimum age requirement (generally 25 years old for Payless additional drivers)
  • Must sign the rental agreement at the counter
  • Must carry an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet

Check your booking confirmation to see whether an additional driver is already included in your rate. If it shows additional driver included, no fee applies for the first extra driver. Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by the vehicle's protections during the rental period.

Can I pick up a Payless car in one city and return it near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

Yes, Payless allows one-way rentals where you pick up at one location and return at a different location, including arrangements that involve The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas area. However, since Payless does not have a counter at The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas itself, all returns must be made to the Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center at 7135 Gilespie St.

A drop-off fee may apply depending on the route. This fee is route-specific and varies by distance, vehicle class, and season. You can see any applicable drop-off fee listed under the To Pay at Destination section during the booking process on the Hola Car Rentals website.

  • Same-city airport to downtown routes often carry no drop-off fee
  • Routes between different cities or states typically include a drop-off fee
  • Cross-border one-way rentals may be restricted or carry higher fees

If a drop-off fee was shown on your confirmation and the counter charges a different amount, keep all paperwork and contact Hola Car Rentals support after the rental ends.

What insurance coverage is included in a Payless rental near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

The insurance coverage included in your Payless rental near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas depends on the rate plan you selected when booking through Hola Car Rentals. Check your booking confirmation for the specific protections listed.

Common coverage options include:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW): reduces your financial liability for damage to the Payless rental vehicle from a collision or covered event. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation states zero deductible
  • Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI): covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to other people or vehicles while driving. Nevada does not mandate a specific minimum for all rental situations, so confirming this coverage is included is important

CDW/LDW does not cover third-party liability, and LIS/ALI/SLI does not cover damage to the rental vehicle itself. These are separate protections that work together.

Common exclusions from CDW/LDW include tires, undercarriage, roof damage, and incidents involving unauthorized drivers or prohibited use such as off-road driving. Always review the rental agreement at the Payless counter before signing to confirm what is and is not covered during your Las Vegas stay near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas.

What are the Payless counter hours at the Las Vegas Rental Car Center near The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas?

The Payless counter at the Harry Reid International Airport Rental Car Center, which serves guests visiting The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, is open daily from 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM. There is a brief closure between approximately 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM each day when the counter is not staffed.

If you need to return your Payless vehicle outside of counter hours, the Rental Car Center at 7135 Gilespie St supports after-hours returns via a key drop box. To protect yourself during an after-hours return:

  • Park in a marked Payless return bay and note the bay number
  • Photograph the vehicle exterior, fuel gauge, odometer, and a timestamp
  • Drop the keys in the labeled drop box as directed by signage (do not leave keys in the vehicle)
  • Keep your fuel receipt and all photos until the rental is fully closed

If your flight arrives late and you are concerned about making it to the Payless counter before 2:00 AM, plan your travel from The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas area accordingly. Rental companies will generally hold your booking for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time if there is a delay.
