Top tips for renting a car at Tucson airport

  • Hiring a car rental at Tucson Airport is the best way to avoid the stress of waiting for other passengers to fill a vehicle whenever you want a ride. A rental car should quickly get you to local attractions such as Reid Park Zoo and Tucson Children's Museum for a holiday thrill. If you've arrived with your family, book in advance a standard or mid-size SUV with enough room, e.g., Hyundai or Ford. Some models can accommodate up to seven passengers, making them ideal for group travels.
  • When you need ample legroom, a premium SUV doesn't disappoint. You will travel in style without compromising your comfort. For serious adventure seekers, car rental at Tucson Airport offers open-air all-terrain vehicle categories perfect for long distances. Maybe you came to hit off-roading trails like The Charouleau Gap; a bigger 4x4 or truck would be more suited for steep climbs and rocky terrain in the region. With keys in your hands, you not only get your ride faster but also enjoy the freedom of stopping by all your desired locations.
  • Tucson Airport car rental services are a walking distance from the main terminal's eastern exit. Leave the baggage claim area and follow the enclosed sidewalk from carousel 7. Keep moving past the ticketing level, and TSA security points up to A Gates. Various car rental agencies are on the first floor of the adjacent building. A few are located far-off and requires shuttle service to get there. If you booked a ride with one of the companies away from the airport's terminal building, call immediately after landing to get directions.
  • You'll spend less time picking up and returning the car if you arrive at Tucson International Airport outside of the morning and evening rush hours. Avoid anytime between 7 am and 10 am or 3 pm to 7 pm. Traffic on major roads leading to TUS gets worse on Friday's rush hours.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars at Tucson airport for C$ 62 or less
  • Book your rental car at Tucson airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

You can count on the return signals at the TUS airport for direction if you've never been here before. If you arrive late at night, don't worry because the car parks are open 24h a day.

  • How can I get the best deal by car rental at Tucson Airport?

    A high-quality service coupled with affordability is key to an airport car rental. Through KAYAK, expect unbeatable prices in addition to many benefits like excellent customer support.

  • Is someone else allowed to drive a rental car I hired at Tucson Airport?

    The above age requirements apply in all rental locations, and any other driver added to the contract agreement.

Cons:

The rental agency entered the wrong time for return, am vs pm... Also did not have available the car class booked, a Toyota Corolla vs the requested VW Jetta, a standard rental vs a compact rental, still charged as a standard rental did not even mention they didn't have the proper car. Just a disappointing rental in general, even if the car was nice, it was not what was booked.

I admittedly picked a dealers choice rental. That dealers choice happened to be an EV. I was driving into the mountains and needed a gas car. They charged me an extra 100$ dollars to change the car to a nissan altima. Ive rented from dollar like 15 times and after this stupid upcharge Ill just rent from elsewhere instead

Horrible. Wasn’t clear in the reservation that we’d get an electric car. Was only charged 77% when we got it. Can was smelling of smoke and had scratches all over the place. Chip in the window. Had to park it and get a software update for 1 1/2 hours in order for it to charge. Then had it charge for 12 hours k my to get 80% charge . Aweful. I will never rent and electric car again, and will avoid dollar/thrifty/hertz whenever possible. If they try to stick my with any damage on this car I will see them in court.

Pros:

Free upgrade due to longer wait in line and a free trade when the upgraded car did not meet our needs.

Cons:

I had to wait to give my keys to someone for drop off and let them know I had a full tank. I think they could do a more automated drop off.

It was a nightmare. Wasted $80 on Ubers to and from the airport and they told me they didn’t have a car for me. They should not make reservations if they are not actually reserving that car for you, it’s wrong.

I arrived at the Budget counter at 6pm to find five people in line and only one agent. The line was closed and new arrivals were directed to the Avis counter. The Avis counter had 8 people in line and only one agent. After about 20 minutes another agent was added, but the line had grown even longer. As an agent finished they asked if there were any Avis or Budget Premier customers and took them first (that was frustrating, but I understood why). It seemed like we would be waiting at least an hour to get our car. I noticed that the Sixt counter next door had only one person in line and two agents. I used my phone to book a car with Sixt and dumped my Budget reservation. As I left with my keys I whispered to others in the Avis line, "Sixt has cars and they are quick..."

When reserving a car I pass on all electric vehicles. Chose the Manager's choice thinking I would get a gas vehicle the type model at Hertz's discretion. How wrong was I? They said they selected ban electric car eeven as I passed on all electric vehicles they had offered and at a cheeper price then I was offered on their Manager's,s choice. We never accepted the car and the credit card company refunded all charges associated with Hertz . Be forwarded when renting any car with this company

The pickup was a pretty horrible experience. The person checked me in and I paid, which took about 20 minutes. Then they realized that they had checked me in as the wrong person. Then voiding this was difficult and the system did. Not want to check me in as it thought I had a car already. Had to wait for the manager. We were supposed to get a small car but we got a Chevy Silverado that smelled like cigarettes. In all, not great.
