Depends. You have to be able to get yourself and your gear into the event, and that means wheels. Once you're there, you can't drive. So if you can cover entry and exodus, you're okay.

You do have to get there from Reno.
You need a ride of some kind to get there.

A car isn't as necessary as a ride-share. Look for Burning Man ride share blogs/feeds/links or ads on one of several sites. A couple I can think of are here:

Tribe.net
Craigslist.com

You'll find peeps all gearin' to go but no one to go with. In the spirit of the Playa and all that it is, you'll be sure to find a ride there!

Impossible without transport, remember you have 15glls of water to carry. Once there simply offer to help people unloading or setting up, someone will invite you to join there camp if they see you're keen to get involved, seek a pick up on this site
