AIRPORT Recommendations
The Reno-Tahoe International airport is the airport that we recommend everyone fly into. Truckee, CA is about a 40 minute drive from the Reno-Tahoe International airport.
There is a very small airport located in Truckee (Truckee Tahoe Airport). It is the closest airport to all wedding events and hotels (~5 minute drive), but typically pretty pricey.
San Francisco International airport (SFO) is another option to fly into. Truckee, CA is about a 3hr 15min drive from SFO.
TRANSPORTATION
TO AND FROM RENO AIRPORT
Rental Cars: A rental car may be useful for transport to and from the airport, and for exploring the area in your free time, something we encourage and highly recommend. All major brands are available at the Reno Airport, the rental car facilities are on site, contract/key pick up desks in baggage claim, and the cars are a quick 2-minute walk from baggage claim. Returns are in the same place. Rental car rates for the wedding weekend start at about $70 per day (Alamo, Budget, Hertz, Enterprise, and Dollar).
Uber/Lyft: Both Uber and Lyft are available in Reno. Uber and Lyft will cost approximately $60-$100 one way depending on the level of car requested (Uber X $60/Comfort $70/XL $97). While Uber is available at Reno Airport, the ride-share options are much more scarce in Truckee.
Shuttle: North Lake Tahoe Express is a shared-ride large shuttle bus serving Truckee along the Green Route (NLTE service desk and waiting area are at the far end of baggage claim in the Reno Airport). Shuttles leave the Reno airport and drop off at the Truckee airport (~5 minutes from hotels). Shuttles leave daily at 10:30am, 3:15pm and 11:59pm. It is $99/person, one way.
Taxi: Taxis are available from the Reno Airport and will cost approximately $140-180 one-way to Truckee.
