When you reserve a car rental at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, you will have a reliable and comfortable way to explore the city. While Phoenix does have its own transportation system, it is limited and does not widely connect the city. One of the most convenient ways to explore the region is by driving, as you can stick to your own schedule and head to your own destination whenever you like, rather than depending on the local bus. It will also make it easier for you to travel with luggage or sports equipment.
There are a few rental car companies that are particularly easy to use, including popular national brands such as Alamo, Hertz, and SIXT. All three of these companies will allow you to make your reservation ahead of time, making the pick-up process quick and simple. They also offer no-contact returns even outside of their business hours, so you can drop your vehicle off whenever works best for you.
If you are ready to return your car rental at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, you can bring it back to the same place that you first picked up your vehicle. All companies keep their fleets directly on airport property, within walking distance of the main terminal. To find the exact location where you will need to drop off your Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport car rental, look for the airport’s signs that will guide you towards the drop-off area. Once you have left the car, you can finish up any outstanding paperwork with your rental company.
Phoenix is a bustling business hub and a popular destination for travelers, so it tends to have traffic. If you don’t want to get stuck in any congestion, try to avoid picking up or returning your car rental at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport during rush hour, which is typically when people are headed to and from work in the mornings and evenings. Certain roads near the airport can get particularly busy, such as Interstates 10 and 60.

Travelers that do not have a driver’s license from the United States will need to provide their chosen rental company with either an International Driver’s License or a license from their home country.

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.

2.0 Poor

Oct 2023

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
