Reno Tahoe International Airport transitioning to new parking reservation system

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - The Reno Tahoe International Airport is transitioning to a new way to handle parking reservations.

The new system will be available starting Oct. 13 and will offer:

• A 4-step online reservation process
• Reservable parking in the Long-Term Garage, RNO’s option closest to the terminal building
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the reservation begins
• Reservation holders will receive a QR code to scan at the parking entrance – the code can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for convenient scanning

Parking reservations will be paused during the transition to the new system between Oct.1 and Oct. 12.

Airport officials say they are making these changes based on feedback from passengers who have used the reserved parking in the last year.

They are now reminding passengers of what they should know when reserving parking in advance at RNO:

• The reservation system holds a limited number of spaces, and the remaining spots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reserved spaces are not marked.
• Parking reservations can fill quickly, so passengers are encouraged to plan ahead and book parking online at RenoAirport.com/parking when they purchase their flight.
• Parking reservation holders should still plan to arrive early. It may take 15 minutes to locate a space.
