Yes! Our real-time parking feature accurately reflects the number of available spaces for public use.

There may be open spaces visible in the lot that are reserved for airport operations and other essential uses, but are not accessible to the public. Our system ensures that travelers have an accurate view of open spaces meant for passenger parking.

In some cases, we keep entrances open to allow vehicles to flow toward designated overflow areas or newly available spaces. The website accurately reflects available spaces in the lot, while the entrance remains open to guide cars toward overflow options. Our goal is to reduce congestion and prevent delays by directing traffic appropriately.

Due to high passenger flow, parking spaces can fill up or free up quickly, with availability changing within minutes, especially during peak times. We recommend checking parking availability often and considering alternate options during peak periods such as the holiday season and Washoe County school breaks.

Rest assured, our parking team works around the clock to provide real-time information on availability and guide travelers to open spaces.

Parking at RNO is first-come, first-served. We do not take parking reservations at this time. You can check real-time parking availability on our website. During peak times, overflow parking will be available—just look for the signage!

Please head to the cashier on the far left side of the garage exit (not self-serve), and our parking team can assist you. You can also dial (775) 328-6551 if you need further assistance.

RNO has accessible parking available in the Short-Term Garage, Long-Term Garage, or Long-Term Surface Lot. Accessible parking spaces are marked and located on each floor of the parking garage near the elevators and the far north corner of the Long-Term Surface Lot. 

RNO offers free parking to any vehicles displaying “Veterans with Pearl Harbor Survivor, Pearl Harbor Veteran, Congressional Medal of Honor, Purple Heart, Silver Star, Bronze Star, Disabled Veteran, and Ex-POW” license plates. There are no other discounts offered for Veterans or ADA placards.

RNO parking areas are fenced, well-lit, and patrolled. However, we will always recommend that you take any valuables in your car with you or leave them at home if you’re parking for extended periods of time, just to be safe.

The peer-to-peer carsharing company, Turo, is authorized to operate at RNO.

There are two operational locations:
Park and pick up is located in the overflow lot (Blue Lot) located along the Loop Road on the right side before you reach the front curb. Please park in the designated peer-to-peer carsharing spaces. The spaces are located near the crosswalk and are designated in red.

If the gate to the Blue Lot is closed, or “out of order”, then press the call button for assistance. Blue Lot has designated peer-to-peer carsharing spaces, even if the lot is showing as full.

Face-to-Face pick up is located near the ride share pick up area outside of Baggage Claim Door D, just past the shuttle pick up area. Look for the peer-to-peer carsharing signs.
