Hello- any experience or advice appreciated! I am consider a departing flight from Reno airport at like 6am and shuttles don't run that early. I was quoted a price of ~$235 for the one way (assuming it is like a 3:45am departure) from Tahoe Thunder taxi. Uber and Lyft allow for pre-booked, pre-scheduled rides but what are the chances a driver actually picks up that ride? Other thoughts? Rental car already considered.

Thanks!

 There is a very simple solution - get a hotel in Reno the night before the departure. And from OV to Reno airport for a 6 am flight, 3:45 is cutting it way too close. Weather, road conditions, etc. Any attempt to get from OV to airport in the middle of the night is a dumb, dumb idea.

 Agree with the hotel in Reno, or switch your flight to after lunch if you can.  Then options open up.  Enjoy your trip
