Top tips for renting a car at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport
A car rental at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is an easy and affordable way to move throughout the city and surrounding region. Although Phoenix does have its own public transportation system, which is primarily composed of the local bus, driving is typically the quickest and most convenient way to head to your destination. Having access to a Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport car rental will also make it easy for you to visit nearby cities, such as Chandler or Scottsdale.
There are many models for you to choose from for your car rental at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, making it easy to find the perfect vehicle for you and your needs. If you will be traveling with a larger group, you may want to book either an SUV or a minivan. Those that will have a substantial amount of sporting equipment or cargo can always choose a pick-up truck instead. If you plan on staying in downtown Phoenix for your trip, a compact car can come in handy for fitting into tight parking spots or navigating narrow streets.
Once you are ready to return your car rental at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, you can simply bring it back to the same location where you initially picked it up. As you approach the airport, you will see signs that will clearly guide you to the general drop-off location for the companies that have on-site branches. Many of the companies at the airport will allow you to do contactless returns even after their normal business hours.
Because Phoenix is a popular city amongst business travelers and tourists alike, its roads will often be congested during rush hour, which is typically between 6 and 9 am and 3 to 7 pm. If you want to make sure that you don’t get caught in any traffic, try to schedule your pick-up and return outside of these hours. Some major roads are typically busier than others, such as Interstates 10 and 17.

I didn’t rent from Hertz and don’t know why I received this survey.
It was easy to rent and return the car. The pick up and return was right across the street from the airport..

When we arrived to get our car all they had left were electric cars. We were never told it could be electric . We are in our mid to late 70s and don’t have a clue how to charge it. My husband spent 2 days finding a place that he was able to use then stood in the 85 degree sun to figure out how to charge it, after someone at the other charger helped him download the app ect .My advise do not rent an electric car to the elderly in Mesa .

Low tire pressure light on dashboard. Two tires under inflated. Why not inflated to correct tire pressure by staff?

My experience booking through Kayak could not have been WORSE. Through Kayak, I made a car reservation with Avis (one day, Sun Jan 26, Mesa Gateway airport pickup, Santa Fe airport drop off). Confirmation number 19969723US4. Total rental fee - as per email confirmation received Mon, Jan 20 - was $75.69. When I arrived at the Mesa car rental counter on Jan 26, the agent processed the rental and asked me to insert my credit card for payment. I asked for the total charge before doing so. He told me that the rental fee was $201 USD. VERY LONG story short, after showing him my rental confirmation, arguing my case for over an hour, speaking to an AVIS customer service supervisor on the phone, I was told there was "nothing they could do." Of course, they claimed that the difference in price was because I had "booked with a third party" (Kayak). And of course, they had me over a barrel because I had to get to Santa Fe that day. Finally, in tears, I agreed to pay the $201. I was then told my reservation had been canceled! The stress, not to mention financial cost, of this experience has left me shaking. I need to rent a car to return to Mesa airport on Feb 12 and I am filled with anxiety just thinking about it. If Kayak and Avis want to do business with each other, you need to get on the same page. Do not offer prices that will not be honoured at the counter. Do not tell me this is a matter to be taken up with Avis (I have contacted their customer service and they are not responding). YOU TWO - Kayak and Avis - need to sort this out. It is not my job to get you both on the same page. I am currently preparing to take my case to the next level for attention.

They gave me a gas guzzler instead of a compact vehicle and gas was overpriced and taxes ended up being an extra $200 just for gas

Booked a car through kayak, got to the Avis location at the Mesa Airport and they told me they had 0 cars available. Guy behind the counter couldn’t care less it was 8pm, I had no car, just gave me a pamphlet on how to get a refund. How is this possible? I had reserved the car hours in advanced with a confirmation. Absolutely ridiculous. Had to spend $60 to uber home because “airport fees” as the uber driver described and I lived less than 10 miles away and still had to find another rental car. Ended up renting with Turo. Even with the fees, overall better experience.

I needed to call customer service to change the pick up and drop off location, and the Avis staff were helpful, friendly, and quick to solve my problem. I had a great experience!
