I need to catch a flight later next week and I normally would rent a car at Havasu Enterprise and then drop it off at LV airport. Worked great, not too expensive. Well, you cant do that anymore due to you guessed it, a shortage of cars due to Covid (so sick of that bullshit excuse)

Anyone have any other suggestions other than a crazy expensive UBER?

Can we get this stickied? There’s been a few threads on this but they get buried

Walt, what day and time do you need to be at the airport? Depending on day and time I am heading up there 1 day next week if you can make it up to Mohave Valley I can easily drop you off at McCarran if the timing is right.

Leaving 11:30 Thursday night, if I can get to the airport anytime Thursday afternoon I can deal with sitting in the airport for awhile.

Call Timmy. He has a buddy that shuttles people in a Tesla I think.

Used Avis last time. It was crazy pricey though. I am getting to think that I will offer some $$$$ to friend’s kids to do the drive .

USMC10 is going to the airport the same night from Havasu, worked out beautifully. Again the power of RDP is staggering.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I was going to recommend RDP expressing yourself to the airport. Works every time.

Too bad you guys don’t have a 600 am flight Thursday. I’m in the same boat so my wife will get to do the turnaround. Hit the road around 230am Thursday.

Red eye to Atlanta, midnight to 6 am, direct though, and I can sleep. Picking up or RV and driving back.

That’s exactly where I’m heading. Then starting the drive back to Havasu Friday morning at 600 from Atlanta area.

There's a guy that lives in Havasu on my jobsite that makes the commute everyday. He might be able to help out. He delivered some carbs to 82Daytona one time.

Not 100% accurate. The major car rental companies filed BK and as part of that the banks took the cars to settle the debt. Some of the others were sold off to avoid the bank foreclosures of the company.

Issue now is no one is lending the rental companies $$ so they can purchase additional units.

Rent a car from bullhead Airport. Take the London jet up to Laughlin from Havasu, Uber a ride from the casino to the airport across the river. And you are set. Plus you got a hell of a scenic ride 👍

If your ride falls through let me know, I am heading up to Vegas more than likely on Thursday for a turn around trip, timing is flexible.

My trip will not fall through. I'm flying to Texas for a funeral.
