KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Gilbert

  • Car rentals in Gilbert make it easy to navigate the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area when visiting the city. Gilbert is about 18 miles from the airport (a 22min drive), which is near the center of Phoenix. With a car, you can easily access Phoenix attractions like the Phoenix Zoo & Desert Botanical Garden, the many professional golf courses, and CityScape, the downtown shopping and entertainment center. You can also explore the parks and nature preserves in the areas surrounding Gilbert, such as Camelback Mountain and South Mountain Park and Preserve, or take a day trip to the new-age mecca of Sedona, which is about 2h 15min north of Gilbert.
  • Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is a major airport with three passenger terminals. The Car Rental Center is in a separate building at 1805 E Sky Harbor Circle, just west of I-10. A free shuttle runs between the airport terminals and the Car Rental Center, stopping frequently near the baggage claim areas of the terminals.
  • Like the rest of the Greater Phoenix area, the roads of Gilbert are laid out in a grid pattern, making the city easy to navigate. That said, some streets can be challenging to drive on. For example, Val Vista Drive has several dangerous intersections, so use caution when driving on this route through Gilbert. If you’ll be driving in Phoenix, you’ll want to keep an eye out for pedestrians stepping into traffic, as jaywalking is an issue in the more congested areas of the city.
  • Fortunately, roads in Gilbert are not especially congested. However, if your plans involve traveling within the Phoenix city limits, you’d be well-served to avoid traveling in rush hour, especially in the mornings between 7am and 9am and the evenings between 5pm and 6pm. If you are visiting Gilbert at the end of the summer, you should be aware of the seasonal heavy rainstorms (called monsoons) and intense dust storms (called haboobs), both of which involve high winds and low visibility. If you find yourself driving in a monsoon or haboob, it is best to pull over and safely wait out the storm.
  • Using cheap car rentals in Gilbert is a sure way to get by the city and visit most of your destinations within a short time. Consider getting a rental car to explore some of the attractions found in the neighboring cities. For instance, as an art lover, you may drive to Tucson, AZ, to visit the Arizona- Sonora Desert Museum and Pima Air and Space Museum, which are about 103.8 miles away from the city center and will take you about 2 hours to drive there. You may also explore Camelback Mountain in Phoenix with friends and family. The destination is approximately 24.7 miles from Gilbert City center. You’ll only need to drive for about 30 minutes to get there. Cheap car rentals in Gilbert offer an opportunity to tour many places away from the city.
  • When driving your rental vehicle in Gilbert, Arizona, pay attention to cyclists on the road. The law allows cyclists to share the road with drivers. However, it would help if you yielded to cyclists on crosswalks and sidewalks as a driver. You should also patiently drive behind a cyclist until you have enough room to pass them. You are also supposed to give way to cyclists who have the right of way on junctions and roundabouts. Therefore, as you cruise along the streets of Gilbert in Gilbert car rentals, be mindful of cyclists to avoid trouble with the law.
  • Those who enjoy driving cheap car rentals in Gilbert should consider shying away from aggressive driving. Gilbert, Arizona, has strict laws against aggressive driving. Avoid tailgating other drivers, overtaking vehicles on the right shoulder, failing to give way, ignoring traffic signs, and unsafe lane changes. Aggressive driving in Gilbert attracts harsh penalties since it is a misdemeanor, and you could get huge fines, suspended driving license, or even jail time.
  • Compact rental cars in Gilbert are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Gilbert

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

    One of the most popular car rentals in Gilbert is the convertible, which allows you to fully enjoy the area’s dry and sunny weather. Convertibles are also a good choice if you’ll be doing most of your driving in the city because they fit well in the city parking spots and busy streets. If your plans include spending time driving in the more rugged parks and mountains surrounding the city, an SUV may be more up your alley. SUVs have the added advantage of extra room to store backpacks and other gear for the adventurous traveler.

  • What’s the speed limit in Gilbert?

    Although Arizona highways have maximum speed limits of 65mph (and for limited rural stretches of interstates, the limit is 75mph), the maximum speed for Phoenix-area highways is 55mph. Off the interstates, most major roads in Gilbert have a maximum speed of 45mph, and the speed limit in residential areas is 25mph. Motorists should be alert when traveling along one of Arizona’s Safety Corridors, where there is additional police coverage to enforce speed limits and other traffic laws.

  • Where are the best places to park in Gilbert?

    Finding a parking spot for your Gilbert car rental is not a problem, as parking throughout the city is plentiful and free.

If you’re planning to visit Phoenix, expect to pay as much as $20 per day to park in one of the garages or lots, or around $1.50 per hour if you park in a metered spot.

we made a reservation for a mid size auto a Malibu. I had a printout of all the Enterprise reservation information that had the enterprise address on 1140 north Gilbert road chandler Arizona. it listed my correct email and phone number, and my correct name. it listed the Chevy Malibu and the rate quoted. It had the correct dates. Everything was correct on the printout and confirmed. However the staff at the Enterprise location had nothing on file, just my email. They did not reserve an auto for us and offered a truck which would not work. They said we had to use another vehicle for added charge. We had no choice but to take the auto and pay much more than quoted. They also charged a significant fee for an added driver that we felt was excessive.

Pros:

awesome staff. only one person there for check in so had to wait about 15 minutes. But everything was great. I will definitely use again when I need a car.

Cons:

hours of operation limited and staff limited due to pandemic. But they were awesome working around this issue. Great experience.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful - even when I arrived very close to 6 pm. The vehicle was clean and in great shape, the paperwork was fast and easy to complete.

Cons:

It could have been catastrophic that I rented a van, but a large SUV was cheerfully presented to me when I arrived as though I would consider it an upgrade; the van came back damaged. When you need a van, you need a van so I think a customer should be called about something like this and given the chance to say fine, I'll take the SUV or please find and get me a van from a nearby location. I worked with the SUV but it was a startling surprise. Also, I didn't like the street I had to leave my car on much - not visible to Enterprise due to a wall or bushes, and it was dark.

The people in the office seemed preoccupied with other things. It took over an hour for us to get the car and then when we dropped it off the only person working didn’t leave her office in the back area and yelled for me to come back there to drop off the keys

Cons:

They told us the tank was full, it was below half. When I tried to call the location, no answer. We had to return it with a full tank or risk paying ten dollars a gallon. Also the gas tank cover had been rigged closed, when we got gas it would not shut all the way. We again tried to call the location and no answer.
