Tips for renting a car in Tucson

  • Keep in mind that when driving a rented car in Tucson with a child between 4 to 8 years, any US driver must utilize safety child seats. Therefore, make sure to ask for a baby seat if you rent a car in Tucson from your preferred rental agency.
  • To travel throughout most of the destinations in the Tucson metropolitan area, you can rent a car of your choosing. The best option might be to navigate the congested streets in a luxury sedan or a little car. For family trips to nearby cities, such as Flowing Wells, Catalina Foothills, or Drexel Heights, which are only a short drive away, an SUV or double-cab pickup with lots of storage room and seating is an excellent option.
  • In Tucson, you must be at least 20 years old to rent a car. Car renters under the age of 25 are subject to an additional underage surcharge. If you're under 20 and require a rental car for a legitimate military or government obligation, the majority of Tucson rental businesses will let you use one of their cars without assessing you an additional fee.
