Tips for renting a car in Phoenix

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Phoenix including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on April 26, 2024.
  • When visiting Phoenix, consider renting a car for transit across the city, as there are many benefits associated with renting a vehicle rather than public transport. Phoenix has limited public transport options, with limited access to certain areas in the city. Renting a car, therefore, will enable you to explore various parts of Phoenix and even access attractions hardly accessible by public transport, including Desert Botanical Garden, Camelback Mountain, Heard Museum, Phoenix Zoo, and Mystery Castle.
  • When flying into Phoenix, you will most likely land at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) or Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA), which offers car rental services. The car rental counters at PHX are in a separate facility, the Rental Car Center, accessible by shuttle buses with designated pick-up locations outside each terminal. The car rental counters in AZA are in the ground transportation area, a short walk from the airport terminal. The car rental companies at PHX and AZA include Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise. Availability of rental cars may be limited during peak travel seasons; therefore, consider making a reservation for the rental.
  • Phoenix has a desert climate with extremely hot summers, which may affect driving in the city. Therefore, ensure you rent a vehicle that has good air conditioning. Within the summer seasons, Phoenix experiences sun glare on roads which equally affects visibility; therefore, consider hiring a car with a wide windshield for better visibility driving on such roads. When visiting Phoenix during monsoon seasons, bringing thunderstorms, sudden flash floods, dust storms, and heavy rains from June to September. Consider hiring a car with good visibility and proper tires for stability, as the road conditions may be hazardous due to slippery roads.
