KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Flagstaff
- Having a car hire in Flagstaff will allow you to see the city and its surroundings on your own terms. There are many nearby attractions that are best visited with your own vehicle, such as Walnut Canyon National Monument, Lowell Observatory and Sunset Crater. Having a car will also allow you to make day trips to attractions a little further out, such as Grand Canyon National Park or taking a drive along Route 66.
- You can pick up your car hire in Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG). The service counters are located inside the terminal, near the baggage claim area, where you will be directed just outside the terminal to pick up your vehicle. After-hours returns are also available at the airport. We recommend booking ahead through KAYAK to start your trip as smoothly as possible.
- When driving your car hire in Flagstaff, you must drive on the right side of the road. You should be aware that no level of alcohol is allowed while driving. Major highways will have high occupancy vehicle lanes, sometimes labelled as HOV, where during certain hours they are restricted to vehicles with two or more total passengers. While usually you are not supposed to change lanes over a solid white line, this does not apply to HOV lanes. It is compulsory to use headlights between sunset and sunrise.
- If you are travelling in the monsoon season, be prepared for heavy rains, winds and, most importantly, dust storms that may limit your ability to drive at all due to having little to no visibility. If there has been heavy rain, be on the lookout for signage indicating an area may be dangerous when flooded and should be avoided. Even if the water looks low enough to drive through, heavy water can rush through these areas without warning. Arizona can get snow, and while Flagstaff doesn't get heavy snowfall, some areas can be covered in ice and slippery if there has been a heavy snowstorm recently. You may wish to get snow chains that will help you drive during a snowstorm.
- Book your car hire in Flagstaff at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy hire cars in Flagstaff are around 15% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
Nothing I couldn’t even pick up my rental and they had my reservation canceledCons:
Being up front with their fees, I went in with the misguided notion that my reservation would be honored at the amount agreed on. Instead I was charged my reservation amount with an additional “company policy fee” of $400 on top of what I was already paying for the actual rental. My $300 rental had now come out to over $700. I almost missed my own mother’s funeral. Thank you for your service Alamo!6.0 Okay

Pros:
Nothing. They didn't have a car for me. I booked online, I payed the deposit, I showed up to pick up the car and they told me they didn't have anything for me, that they wouldn't honor my booking, wouldn't refund my deposit, and I was forced to spend $250 to buy a ticket for a 26 minute flight.Cons:
Everything. Having the car that I booked, and if not, refunding the deposit.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
Clean car, friendly staff.Cons:
Too long of a line to pick up the rental. There were 5 people ahead of us in line at the Flagstaff airport, and with one person behind the counter it literally took 45 mins to wait for our car.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Upgraded to a SUV just in case we ran into snow problems. There were 18" of snow the day before. We were very happy with rental. Personnel at the airport were very helpful.Cons:
nothing10.0 Wonderful
Feb 2017
Pros:
Customer service at the counter was great-- very friendly and helpful staff! I ended up getting a much nicer car than I had originally reserved due to low inventory at the same price as my original rental. The car was absolutely perfect and I had a blast enjoying the freedom it gave me while I was on my trip.Cons:
The underage driver charge is rough, but that was to be expected. Additionally, there wasn't very much flexibility in drop off location for a cancelled flight-- driving the car from FLG to PHX would have doubled the cost of my rental just to turn the car in at a different location.10.0 Wonderful
