KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Chandler
- If you are traveling to Chandler, it would not be fair for you to leave without experiencing the full Phoenix experience. Therefore, it is better to book cheap car rentals in Chandler. This will allow you to conveniently visit most, if not all the nearby attractions, and still make it back in time for other activities within the city. The good thing about it is that you can book the right one for you and schedule a pickup through KAYAK.
- If you are traveling to Chandler to travel and get the whole experience, you should be looking for the most suitable and cheap car rentals here. This way, you can easily visit some of the famous attractions near Chandler and still make it back home. The Grand Canyon is about a 4-hour drive from Chandler and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. Others include Sedona, which is a beautiful city located about 2 hours away from Chandler. It is known for its red rock formations and stunning scenery. You can also visit Arizona Railway Museum. It only takes a 10-minute drive to get there.
- If you would like to access your Chandler cheap car rentals right on the arrival of your flight, you are in luck because most of the major car rentals here have you covered. You can easily access a vehicle after touchdown at the airport. For example, you can visit Avis Car rental on 3855 W Ray Rd. You can also visit the Budget Car Rental after aerial on 2860 S Alma School Rd Ste 34.
- Public transit in Chandler is limited, especially compared to other transit options in Arizona cities. Car rentals in Chandler will give you greater accessibility throughout the city, particularly in areas outside the downtown area. Visitors to Chandler should take advantage of the city’s proximity to Phoenix, which is much easier to visit with your own vehicle.
- The two commercial airports that service the Chandler area are Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Phoenix-Mesa Gateway offers Chandler rental cars in the Charles L. Williams Terminal, with the pickup lot just north of the terminal and within walking distance. At Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the Rental Car Center is a separate building with free transportation provided to and from the airport via shuttle. The shuttle leaves every few minutes from baggage claim levels in both terminals. Car rentals in Chandler are commonly picked up and dropped off at these two airports.
- Traffic circles are gaining popularity in Chandler and Arizona, so if you are not familiar with the rules of navigating a traffic circle, you should review them before attempting to drive in the city. For those that are planning to visit downtown Phoenix, visitors often have difficulty avoiding the METRO Light Rail tracks. If you have the ability to park and ride the METRO itself, that will be easier. Another challenging aspect of the Chandler area is the 202 Loop, which connects the Red Mountain Freeway and the Santan Freeway. The name is misleading, as it is not actually a loop, but a curve with three sections. If your directions indicate to "exit at the 202 Loop," check to know which exit you will be taking before you drive.
- The rush hour traffic of Phoenix can spread to impact Chandler’s freeways and side streets, generally from 3pm to 7pm. If you are visiting Chandler in the summer, you may be driving during the monsoon season, which can bring heavy rain, wind, and dust storms that will reduce visibility and make driving extremely dangerous. Do not attempt to drive during a monsoon. If you are driving during a rainstorm, pay attention to signage indicating areas that are susceptible to flooding. The "Stupid Motorist Law" of Arizona will hold you responsible for the cost of your rescue if you ignore signs and attempt to drive through standing water that strands you.

Mar. 2021
Cons:
They did not have the car I reserved. I was downgraded to a smaller car. They did give me a 10% discount though. They literally had only like 3 cars in the whole lot.6.0 Okay
Mar. 2021
Pros:
They were only friendlier because they were late on pickup and did not want to lose a customer to their competition agencies.Cons:
Take time to understand customer requests on rentals, take more time in closing out the customer bills and get them their rental copy same day or at the very least next business day. I returned my rental on the 15th first thing in the morning, still have not received my final bill or an explanation as to why I have not received the full $200 deposit back.4.8 Mediocre

They picked me up 45 minutes late. I was taking my lunch at 1, and told them I needed to be back to work as soon as possible. I made multiple calls to the store and was told two or 3 times they were close. I demanded them to give me the persons number who was co.ing, but they said to hang up, he is going to call me now. He never called and they showed up at 1:45.Hertz

Oct. 2020
Pros:
The staff seemed overwhelmed with the two staffers which took some time to be attended on site and when i called them up to extend my rental contract through the end of October as I was on hold for almost one hour and my call was also terminated so I called them right back until someone answered my call.Cons:
Be honest with the actual time frames, leaving someone unattended and on hold for such a long time is simply not good at all.2.0 Poor
Jul. 2019
Cons:
When I called them to confirm my car rental reservation, they said that they have no car available for me. I told them that I had already paid for the car rental for 10 days at the time of online booking. However, it didn't change the outcome. Obviously, they gave away the car I paid for.2.0 Poor

Manager failed to mention that pre-paid gas wasn't refundable. I TRIED to do a good deed and fill the tank up with gas before returning the vehicle and they STILL charged me an additional $56 for the pre-paid gas!! I got ripped off for an extra $100! Great job!!9.6 Wonderful
