KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Phoenix

  • Although it’s strictly punished, aggressive driving in the form of speeding and tailgating is relatively common on highways. If you plan on going out to a bar or nightclub, be sure to follow Phoenix’s drinking and driving laws. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level is 0.08%, and local law enforcement is known for its heavy enforcement of these laws. This enforcement applies everywhere, however, it’s particularly strict near the areas of Tempe and Scottsdale between 11 pm and 2:30 am. Phoenix DUIs often lead to heavy fines and mandatory jail time of up to 10 days.
  • Most of Phoenix’s major road intersections have mounted cameras that monitor speed and traffic. In the northeast part of the city, there are also camera vans set up to catch those going over the speed limit. Despite this, many locals and tourists driving cheap car rentals in Phoenix attempt to speed through yellow lights before they turn red. So, if you find yourself approaching a yellow light with not much time to make it through, be aware that a driver behind you may be rearing to go. In this case, it’s best to make sure you clearly slow down and signal a break. Otherwise, you may be charged with a traffic ticket that is typically around $300 or more.
  • Although Phoenix is well-known for its hot weather, the rainy weather is equally important to pay attention to – especially if you’re looking for cheap car rentals in Phoenix. During the monsoon season of July to September, heavy rains and winds can make visibility difficult and lead to flooded streets. Signs are posted on commonly flooded areas to warn drivers. Despite that, many try to take a chance and often get stuck. Although you’ll get rescued, Arizona has a “Stupid Motorist Law” meaning that you’ll have to pay for the cost of the rescue if it’s within a clearly posted area.
  • Most tourists visiting Phoenix fly into the Sky Harbor International Airport. Here you’ll find it both easy and convenient to rent a car. All of the rental car companies are centrally located in one place. Although this building is off site from the airport, travelers can catch the shuttle just outside of baggage claim to get to the rental car center.
  • During your stay in Phoenix, you’ll definitely want to make a visit to the desert, where you’ll find many opportunities to enjoy nature. The Phoenix desert is home to a botanical garden, a zoo, and fishing lagoons. Rent a car and take the scenic route to the desert to enjoy views of the canyons and desert trees.
  • Tourists visiting Phoenix will likely have to take I-10 to travel from East to West around the city. Traveling along this highway, the glare from the sun can be unbearable at times -- be sure to have your sunglasses readily accessible to improve visibility and avoid eye strain.
  • Downtown Phoenix can experience the largest traffic jams in the city. Travel is most hectic in the business district during rush hour, which is Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and in the evening from 4 pm. to 5:30 p.m. Traffic in the immediate downtown area might not clear up, however, until around 7:00 p.m. If you need to travel during these hours, be sure to visit the Arizona Department of Transportation website to learn about traffic accidents, construction, and other potential traffic slowdowns. They may provide you with alternative routes to make traveling easier.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Phoenix for $41 or less
  • Book your rental car in Phoenix at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Phoenix are around 5% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Standard rental cars in Phoenix are around 9% cheaper than other car types, on average

Give plenty of time to drop car off. Also the gas station nearest the airport was about 3x the cost of gas—we went to one about a3 blocks further away and paid a normal price for gas.

I was provided a different location for cat pickup when I booked it. Fortunately I called ahead of time and found out that car was located in a different location and that too a different type of car compared to what I had booked. In the end though, Enterprise was able to locate the car in their system and the rental experience was very good.

My experience with Avis was fine. But my experience with Kayak was not. When I searched for a car rental, I found a number of cars available for roughly $150 a day. Then there was the "manager's choice" car at Avis, which was listed at $155.54 -- total. I naturally booked that, and received an email that appeared to confirm that the total price was $155.54. As it turned out, that was false, and I wound up paying $518.42. I am not happy about that. My only gripe with Avis is that I wound up renting an electric car, but received no advice about where to charge it. I ultimately tried two charging stations, one of which was going to take 12 hours to charge, and was nowhere near where I was staying, and the other one of which was a "fast charge" station that could only charge one car at a time, and it was in use. So I was never able to charge the car.

Everything was super good, except at the pick up counter, there was very long lines, the wait time was around one hour, and 45 minutes, people in the line were complaining about the long wait, you definitely should get more staff to help with the long lines to get the wait time down

They had 1 person working and took about 15 minutes to check in each customer. The line was wrapped around the lobby. It took longer to fly than it did to wait in the line. We and others eventually had to leave without picking up our car. They probably do this on purpose. Do not rent from them even if the price looks right!!! Unless you have half a day to spare waiting in line.

Everything about this experience, aside from the employees assisting us, was absolutely abysmal. - The wait to check in was over an hour and the desk was terribly understaffed (a single person the entire time). - The wait to get to the vehicles was also over an hour, in a poorly organized area and combined with Budget and Avis rentals. Again, the team was terribly understaffed but competent, patient, and helpful. - The wait to have the vehicle checked (for what, I am still not sure) was unnecessary and could be consolidated when provisioning the vehicles or at the exit gate. - The wait to exit the garage was also unnecessarily long. As you just read, there were four separate lines that everyone was required to be a part of and limited staff to support an easily planned for influx in rentals. This was a failing of organization and planning on both the airport and Avis/Budget/Payless.

When we got to the place staff were friendly however we booked a small sedan because we wanted to save money on the gass do to a long drive to Las Vegas from Phoenix when we got there the manager tells me the car they were having available was a f150 v8 so I ended expecting way more money on gas than I was in my budget.

The drop off went smoothly they only issue was getting my emailed receipt, this has been a problem several times when I have rented from budget. , I have had to call and they always say they don’t have my email address which is a lie since they send me emails ALL THE TIME. And the staff can’t answer why this keeps happening and can’t transfer me to anyone who can tell my why it happening because apparently I’m the only one who has this problem (I asked them that specifically)

We reserved a car in my partners name and paid for it with a credit card in my name. But when we got there they would not allow us to have a car because the card name and the driver name had to match. And they couldn’t change the name on the reservation. So we had to cancel and do a new reservation which took quite a bit of time.

Pros:

I liked selecting and booking my rental through the online services.

Cons:

I did not like that I could not make changes or that customer service stated they could not make changes and I had to call Fox or Priceline to make changes to the purchase. This could have been avoided if there was an option for the consumer to cancel or make changes just as easy as it is to the purchase.

When I arrived in Arizona, I made a reservation to go back home. I did it through the Internet and the Internet gave me the wrong dates. I ran to the airport because it was a Sunday. The only place that was open was the airport the guy at the airport I don’t remember his name. I told him that I made a reservation that I need to cancel it because the date was wrong. He said no problem. He would cancel it. I try to get a car to rent, but I only had my debit card The company does not take a debit card the rest of my cards I could not use, so young guy promised he would cancel reservation . Well, he didn’t and I kept getting emails. Finally I called the company after half hour finally someone came to the phone. The girl said no problem. She’ll cancel it for me that it was not canceled. Hopefully my card wasn’t charged so I’m not happy about the whole ordeal because I was promised it was gonna be canceled and it wasn’t and not only that the screen was open left open. I did ask him to close the screen. He said it was fine, so I’m hoping that my credit cards are not in the web somewhere

Booked an EV for my 7 day rental, showed up to begin rental and was told they don't have any ev's for me. I pointed out there were over 10 ev's in the lot of only 25 cars total but was told none were available. They offered a 2 door mustang ICE for my family of 4. I informed that would not work, and was told I could pay another $40 day to "upgrade" to a mid size SUV. Sensing bait and switch I took the mustang which was dirty and had obvious mechanical issues if it had been inspected between rentals. This was not anything like a normal Hertz rental, more like a sketchy discount rental company. Staff were kind people and clearly working hard so have to give them credit for their struggle. Rental was a dishonest system that didn't provide my family with the needs we had booked. Won't rent again from here.

Absolutely terrible! Got to the rental center and the dollar check in line had 40-45 people ahead of us with 3 check in people. We waited for 10!mins and when the line didn’t even move we walked away and never rented the car. It would have taken us about 1.5 hrs to get to the front of the line. Car was pre paid and non refundable so lost the money on the car. Every other car rental company had 2-5 people in the line.
