As temperatures rise in Las Vegas, so does the momentum at Vay. Over the past few months, we’ve celebrated exciting milestones, expanded our service area, connected with industry leaders around the world, and continued sharing the people and stories behind our mission. Here’s a look at what’s been happening across Vay recently.
News
100,000+ customer trips in Las Vegas! 🎉
100,000+ trips and counting! More and more people across Las Vegas are choosing Vay as a convenient and affordable way to get around the city. Thank you to our customers and the entire Vay team for helping make this milestone possible. We look forward to the next 100K trips!
Bigger service area, more convenience
Vay is making it easier than ever to get around Las Vegas. We’ve expanded our service area to include more of Spring Valley, Northeast Las Vegas, Northwest Las Vegas, and West Las Vegas (in blue on the map), while also increasing the number of pickup and dropoff locations within our existing operating zone (purple area on the map). That means more residents and visitors can have an affordable rental car delivered with just a few taps, and enjoy greater flexibility when starting or ending a trip. Whether you’re commuting to work, running errands, or meeting friends, Vay helps you spend less time worrying about transportation and more time getting where you need to go.
Read our latest blog to learn why expanding our service area matters and what it means for our community.

We’ve added a new way to make planning your ride even easier. With Vay’s Trip Planner, you can check the estimated cost of your trip before reserving a vehicle by simply entering your pickup and drop-off locations in the app. Give it a try next time you’re planning a ride!
