All new Ground Transportation Operators must complete the online application process and receive approval before conducting pickup operations on Airport property.

Step 1 – Submit Your Online Application

Complete the online Ground Transportation Vendor Application and upload all required documentation.

Apply Online: Ground Transportation Application

Required Documents

• Ground Transportation Permit Application (one of the following)
  • Ground Transportation Permit 2026/2027

Step 2 – Application Review

Landside Operations will review your application and supporting documentation. If additional information is required, you will be contacted before the application can be approved.

Step 3 – Company Approval

Once your company has been approved, you will receive instructions to:

• Access the Ground Transportation Vendor Portal
• Set up your Payment Portal account
• Enter your company vehicles into the Vendor Portal

Step 4 – Vehicle Approval

Landside Operations will review each vehicle submitted through the Vendor Portal to ensure it meets Airport permit requirements.

Step 5 – Vehicle Inspection & Transponder Installation

After a vehicle has been approved, schedule an appointment for inspection. During the appointment, Landside Operations will verify company logos, vehicle registration, and compliance with Airport requirements. An Airport-issued Ground Transportation transponder will then be affixed to each approved vehicle.

Step 6 – Begin Operations

Once your company has been approved, your vehicles have been approved and inspected, and transponders have been installed, you may begin conducting Ground Transportation pickup operations at Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

Important: Ground Transportation pickup operations are not permitted until the company has been approved, vehicles have been approved and inspected, and Airport-issued transponders have been installed. Companies operating before approval may be subject to citations, suspension, or denial of operating privileges.

The annual permit fee is a vehicle registration fee of $25.00 plus $5.00 for each vehicle over five vehicles to a maximum of $200.00.

All operators requiring access to the Airport in order to conduct ground transportation pickup activities for a single pick-up or single day of pick-ups may request a One-Time GT permit. One-Time GT permits are not available to current or suspended GT permit holders.

The One-Time GT permit fee is $25.00. This fee must be paid before the scheduled pick-up.

The $25.00 One-Time GT permit fee will be assessed for each pick-up. This fee can be paid with cash, credit card.

Transponder Installations are by online appointment only.
