KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Flagstaff

  • Car rentals in Flagstaff provide you with independence and the flexibility to visit all of the local attractions on your to-do list, including sights like the Walnut Canyon National Monument and the Sunset Crater. You can also head to Humphrey’s Peak, an area that is known for its hiking, which is just 25 miles away. Flagstaff car rentals even make it easy to visit the famous Grand Canyon National Park, which can be reached by car in around 1h 30min.
  • While Flagstaff does have its own local airport, many visitors fly into the larger Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) that is nearby. This airport’s rental car center can be found within its own building, and there is a free shuttle that can bring you there. To grab the shuttle, simply head to the curb outside of baggage claim at each terminal, where you’ll find a Rental Car Shuttle sign. There are a few different companies to choose from for car rentals in Flagstaff, including Alamo, Sixt, and Thrifty.
  • Some of the streets in the city can be narrow and windy, so adding a GPS system to your car rental can be useful for navigation. Popular neighborhoods like downtown often have a heavy amount of pedestrian traffic, so you’ll want to be on the lookout for anyone around you when you’re behind the wheel.
  • Like many large cities, the streets of Flagstaff tend to become particularly congested during rush hour, as residents head to and from work. Highways 17 and 40 are known for their traffic, as they’re the major roads leading in and out of the city. If you wish to avoid getting stuck in a traffic jam, try not to drive downtown or on major highways between the hours of 8-9am and 5-6pm. During the winter months, there may be snow, so make sure to drive extra cautiously if this is the case. If you’re on a schedule or catching a flight, keep these times in mind when planning your route.
  • Book your rental car in Flagstaff at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Flagstaff are around 25% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Flagstaff

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

    As Flagstaff is a big city, you might encounter traffic and limited parking, so consider renting a compact vehicle.

pick up was easy. as well as drop off. friendly staff. As reported, it had mechanical issues- failed back up camera, radio did not work. couldn't figure out doom light to come on when opeing door and so dark had hard time finding even key hole. tried different things. Called hoping to find easy fix with camera and radio and was refered back and forth to emergency road service, which I did not need, and to someone taking calls to place of pick up and back to number for service, and back again and then told to bring it in and exchange cars, but it was now after hours and I just gave up driving it that way.

Pros:

Nothing I couldn’t even pick up my rental and they had my reservation canceled

Cons:

Being up front with their fees, I went in with the misguided notion that my reservation would be honored at the amount agreed on. Instead I was charged my reservation amount with an additional “company policy fee” of $400 on top of what I was already paying for the actual rental. My $300 rental had now come out to over $700. I almost missed my own mother’s funeral. Thank you for your service Alamo!

Very friendly and helpful. They dug out the car after a snow storm without complaint. Had the car ready to go.

Pros:

Nothing. They didn't have a car for me. I booked online, I payed the deposit, I showed up to pick up the car and they told me they didn't have anything for me, that they wouldn't honor my booking, wouldn't refund my deposit, and I was forced to spend $250 to buy a ticket for a 26 minute flight.

Cons:

Everything. Having the car that I booked, and if not, refunding the deposit.

The Hertz process for extending your vehicle is very difficult - anything after 6pm is very difficult to contact support and speak with an actual human - the automated call center is extremely frustrating as it continuously prompts you deal with it online, and when trying to do online bookings/ vehicle rental extensions, it routes you back to call the same call center number -UGH what a nightmare! Ended up charging me for 2 extra days - smacking me with huge overage fees and additional $200 deposits. All other parts of this rental experience were relatively nice.

The service at hertz could have been better. The women behind the desk didn’t explain a lot. I found out that I had paid a additional 250 dollars. I had to find out myself that I get this money back when returning the car. It was nice if they had told this to me.
