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 can fill up very quickly, with hundreds of spaces taken in as little as 20 minutes. (One 757 flight carries about 200 passengers.)

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.

RNO has two electric vehicle charging stations:

• Short-Term Parking: The charging station is located near the south-central end of the first floor.
• Long-Term Parking: The charging station is located at the southwest corner on the third floor.

There is no fee to use the charging stations, but regular parking rates apply once you exit the garage. The Level I chargers are available on a first-come, first-served basis and provide a slower, household-style charge (115V). Check with your car manufacturer for the correct charger type. For a list of other charging stations in the area, visit www.plugshare.com.

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.

Yes! Reservations are available in the Long-Term Garage on the second floor and garage roof. Since space is limited, we recommend booking as early as possible to secure your spot.

Parking is still available on a first-come, first-served basis in the Long-Term Surface Lot, Short-Term Garage, and overflow lots. Just plan to leave early and check real-time availability.

Passengers are able to use the Long-Term Garage without a reservation. The new reservation system reserves a select amount of spots, leaving the rest of the spaces available for first-come first-serve use. However availability changes quickly, so we recommend you prebook with the reservation system, check parking availability and/or arrive early due to high parking demand.

RNO encourages you to notify the parking team for extended stays longer than 60 days. Please give our parking team a call at (775) 328-6551.

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.

These exchanges take place outside the D Doors, located at the far north end of Baggage Claim. Follow signs to the rideshare shelter in the ground transportation lot. Vehicles must not be left unattended.
