How the Salt Lake City to Las Vegas one-way rental works

- Pick up in Salt Lake City. Every rental starts at Park N' Jet - Mountain Lot, 2200 W North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84116 — about five minutes from SLC Airport, with a free shuttle from the terminal (exit by the Starbucks, turn right to column 10A, ride The Parking Spot shuttle).

What it costs: one flat $500 fee
At the national chains, a Salt Lake City to Las Vegas one-way rental comes with a drop fee that swings with the route, the date, and the direction — sometimes more than the rental itself, and rarely visible until late in the booking. Driver Valley prices it the plain way: a flat $500 one-way fee per booking, on top of your regular rental rate. The same $500 covers every one-way route we offer.
- Daily rentals from $42/day; weekly rentals at $350/week and monthly at $1,400/month if the trip stretches.
- 150 miles per day included — a three-day rental covers the ~420-mile drive; extra miles are $0.60/mile, and an unlimited-miles option is available.
- Flat $50 refundable deposit, waived entirely if you add CDW coverage when you book.
- No credit card and no credit check — debit, Cash App, Venmo, Chime, or PayPal. Renters 18 and older welcome, with no young-driver fee.
