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
  • Intermediate hire cars in Flagstaff are around 63% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Flagstaff

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Flagstaff?

    Flagstaff's roads can usually accommodate any type of vehicle, so whatever car you are most comfortable with will likely be best. If you are travelling in the winter or monsoon season, a 4WD or AWD can be useful to have, as it will help you be able to drive in Flagstaff's varied weather conditions. These vehicles will also be useful for travelling outside the city on less well-kept roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Flagstaff?

    The speed limits in flagstaff are posted in miles. When driving your Flagstaff car hire within built-up areas, the limit is generally 25 mph (40 km/h), and in school zones, this will probably lower to 15 mph (24 km/h). On interstate highways, the limit is generally 75 mph (121 km/h). Outside built-up areas and highways, the limit is usually 65 mph (105 km/h).

  • Where are the best places to park in Flagstaff?

    Public parking spaces in downtown Flagstaff will cost roughly $ 1 (A$ 1.31) an hour. You can pay at any nearby kiosk, and you don't need to put your receipt on your dashboard. Parking is free in most areas outside downtown. You can also find free parking spaces after 17:00 and any time on weekends at city and county car parks. Between November 1st and April 1st, there are winter parking restrictions that prohibit vehicles from parking on streets between certain times to allow for snow ploughs to remove any snow.

  • How much is the price of fuel in Flagstaff?

    The average price of fuel in Flagstaff is $5.32 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between $64 and $85, depending on the car size.

pick up was easy. as well as drop off. friendly staff. As reported, it had mechanical issues- failed back up camera, radio did not work. couldn't figure out doom light to come on when opeing door and so dark had hard time finding even key hole. tried different things. Called hoping to find easy fix with camera and radio and was refered back and forth to emergency road service, which I did not need, and to someone taking calls to place of pick up and back to number for service, and back again and then told to bring it in and exchange cars, but it was now after hours and I just gave up driving it that way.

Easy drop off. Great gas mileage.

Cons:

Car was filthy at pickup. “Maintenance required” indicator light every time car was started. Flat tire I had to resolve on my own. Paid for Premium (“Maxima or similar) and was assigned mid-sized Rav4.

Pros:

Nothing I couldn’t even pick up my rental and they had my reservation canceled

Cons:

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!

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.

The Hertz process for extending your vehicle is very difficult - anything after 6pm is very difficult to contact support and speak with an actual human - the automated call center is extremely frustrating as it continuously prompts you deal with it online, and when trying to do online bookings/ vehicle rental extensions, it routes you back to call the same call center number -UGH what a nightmare! Ended up charging me for 2 extra days - smacking me with huge overage fees and additional $200 deposits. All other parts of this rental experience were relatively nice.

The service at hertz could have been better. The women behind the desk didn’t explain a lot. I found out that I had paid a additional 250 dollars. I had to find out myself that I get this money back when returning the car. It was nice if they had told this to me.
