Cell Phone Waiting Lot
The Cell Phone Waiting Lot at Reno-Tahoe International Airport offers customers a place to park and wait for their party to arrive. Located on the south side of the terminal loop road, the Cell Phone Waiting Lot enables motorists to temporarily park free of charge until friends, family members or business associates have deplaned, collected baggage and called to be picked up curbside. Customers must remain with their vehicle until their party calls to indicate they have arrived.
To access the Cell Phone Waiting Lot from either the intersection of Plumb Lane and Terminal, or from Highway 395, vehicles should travel in the far right lane, and make a right turn into the Cell Phone Waiting Lot. Signage is posted, clearly marking the area.
There is no charge for parking and waiting in the lot, however, customers must remain with the vehicle. If your party needs to retrieve checked luggage, Reno-Tahoe International Airport suggests that they wait to call you until after they have their luggage in their possession, since waiting is not permitted at curbside.
For customers who do not own a cell phone, a courtesy house phone has been installed in the Cell Phone Waiting Lot. This phone allows for paging of airport guests within the terminal building.
As in the past, Reno-Tahoe International Airport guests still have the option of parking in short-term parking and entering the terminal to locate their party.
