Car Rental in Phoenix

The South West is a truly unique area of the United States, with its desert landscapes and year-round sun. Phoenix, capital of Arizona, makes a great getaway for anyone looking for good weather.

For an unmissable example of southwestern natural beauty, drive your Phoenix car rental to the Desert Botanical Garden. Anyone who thinks that cacti make for a boring landscape will soon change their mind at the explosion of vibrant color that awaits.

For more nature, take a hike up Camelback Mountain for the most picturesque views in Arizona.

If you're traveling in summer, it's best to tackle this one first thing in the morning, to avoid the heat.

All that hiking can really build up your appetite. Tex-Mex cuisine reigns supreme in Arizona, so take your Phoenix car hire to one of the city's numerous restaurants. In particular, don't miss the local delicacy of chimichangas, aka deep-fried burritos. You've been walking a lot – time to get your reward!

Phoenix for non-hikers
