KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tempe

  • Car rentals are convenient when maneuvering in and around Tempe, helping get to where you need to go with flexibility and personal space. You can check out comedy shows, dances, and concerts at the Tempe Center for Arts in the town or drive to the Arizona Museum of Natural History, located around 7 miles from Tempe in the neighboring Mesa area. If you are traveling with family, obtaining a van from car rentals in Tempe allows you to visit Papago Park, around 3 miles from Downtown Tempe, where you can bike, hike, or have a picnic.
  • You can get to Tempe via the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), located around 4 miles from the city. The airport has a Car Rental Center containing different companies, such as Alamo, Avis, Fox Rent-A-Car, NU Car Rentals, and Thrifty. You can reach this center using the Car Rental Shuttle that stops every few minutes at the sidewalk on every terminal's baggage claim levels. Ensure to book your vehicle before your trip, because car rentals in Tempe and the Phoenix area have high demand, limiting walk-up clients' options.
  • Tempe has a well-constructed transportation system, mainly featuring freeways such as the US 60, facilitating efficient movement within and outside the city. You can opt to install a navigation system in your Tempe car rental to increase your confidence and avoid getting lost among the town's multiple streets. The city has seen a few cases of jaywalking accidents, so you want to keep an eye out for cyclists and pedestrians.
  • The afternoon rush hour generally starts around 3pm and worsens at 5:30pm. In the morning, the congestion lasts from approximately 6am to 9am, getting heaviest at around 8am. If you want convenient time management, it is best to wait until 6pm or leaving much earlier than scheduled. In particular, you want to stay away from the I-10 Highway that creates a lot of traffic at the exits.
  • Although there’s plenty to see inside the city, one of the greatest benefits of finding cheap car rentals in Tempe is what you can see outside the city. Geology and archeology enthusiasts may visit the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve. Start west on I-10, then drive north on I-17 and you’ll arrive in 35 mins or so. For those who prefer hiking or horseback riding, head northeast along AZ-87N. In 40 mins or so you’ll arrive at McDowell Mountain Regional Park. If you’d prefer to see where old western movies were filmed at Old Tucson Studios, drive southeast along I-10 until you reach Tucson. A one-way trip takes about 1h 30 mins.
  • To enjoy Tempe car rentals the most, you’ll want to be aware of some US holidays and Tempe events that might affect traffic. In January, the Regional Unity Walk includes street parades near Tempe Town Lake, so the area around E Rio Salado Parkway will see extra traffic. Similarly, on the 4th of July, fireworks displays at Tempe Town Lake mean E Rio Salado Parkway and Mill Avenue will have traffic jams. In late November, the Homecoming Parade for Arizona State University closes off sections of Myrtle Avenue, College Avenue, and McAllister Avenue.
  • Drivers of cheap car rentals in Tempe don’t need to worry about toll roads. That’s because there aren’t any tolls inside the city, outside the city, or in the entire state of Arizona. The situation may change so it’s important to stay updated. Tempe does, however, have quite a few carpool lanes. These are known as high occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV lanes) and they’re on nearly all the major highways – that means US Route 60, US Route 101, Interstate-10, and Interstate-17. If you have two or more passengers in the car, you may use these lanes. If you have less than two passengers, then using HOV lanes can lead to fines.
  • Book your rental car in Tempe at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Tempe are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average

Great location to pick up a car that is not at the airport. Friendly staff. Had to wait to long in a line of only 3 people. The employee redeemed himself with me by offering to just take the keys and email the receipt before helping the next customer. That was helpful and attentive to my needs. It was definitely a good fit for someone who needs a car in Phoenix and does not need an airport rental.
