Need a ride BRC to Reno airport 8/31 LATE

Post by ClaireBearStare » Mon Jul 30, 2018 4:46 am

Due to a mixup with Burner Express times and a flight home to Vancouver, we need to leave the event either as late as possible on Friday night or as early as possible on Saturday morning, to be at Reno airport by 7am on Saturday September 1. It would be two adults and two bags. Obviously we pay for gas and anything else you need, and can probably share some driving. Help?

Your Burning Since tells me I shouldn't have to warn you, but just in case.
The eplaya consensus tends to be that if your flight is on one day, you could be leaving BRC for Reno the day before, to ensure you do get there. 7am in Reno (at Airport?) is very early. Any number of delays could screw you: rain in BRC, at playa edge, any number of road slowed/shutdown, etc.. Search for related threads for more explanation if you need it.

Also gives you a chance to get cleaned up so they don't block you from boarding.
If you get in Friday evening/night, you'd likely be able to get a room in the $30 to $40 a night range. Especially if booked online on the way there (or from the parking lot, as one guy did for ~$35 when I paid $100 walk-in). (the Monday Exodus price is another story; as is the walk-in price)
Get clean, get some rest.

Usually someone always leaving BRC. Worst case, get out on the road towards Gate with a sign saying Reno. Safety - Usual Rules Apply.

Yeah, make a nice sign, hoof it to gate and cross your fingers.

Also be prepared to split up as whoever is driving out Friday may not have two seats available.

Very few folks plan on leaving Friday so it would luck if the draw.

Good luck.
