How can I get to Portola and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in Portola is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The most convenient airport is Truckee, CA (TKF-Truckee Tahoe), 38.1 mi (61.2 km) away. However, if that doesn't suit your budget, the next closest is 42.5 mi (68.3 km) away: Reno Tahoe Intl. Airport (RNO). Portola might not have very many public transport options to choose from so a car rental could be a reasonable alternative to see the area.
