Occupying a good chunk of the USA’s border with Mexico, Arizona is a desert state and Phoenix its shining capital. It’s the core of the state’s cultural, social and economic life, a place where the sun rarely fails to make an appearance. It hosts some world-class museums, the best of south-western food with its unmistakeable Mexican influences and also offers you proximity to some stunning landscape, best seen by hire car.
When arriving at the airport we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’ve got the vehicle that’s right for you. There are no hidden charges and you can change or cancel your booking for free up to two days before collection.

Rental Qualifications and RequirementsHandily situated for Phoenix itself, Sky Harbor Airport is just three miles south-east of the city and, once you’re on the road, you’ll find Phoenix a fantastic place to explore by car. Grab the shuttle to the rental car centre and you’ll be set for the short drive into Phoenix via E Washington Street.
Phoenix is laid out in grid form, so is extremely easy to navigate and the road network here is modern and well-maintained. In fact, a 2015 study ranked Phoenix as the best city for driving in the world. There are no toll roads to pay for, and speed limits vary depending on where you’re driving. The top interstate speed limit is 75mph but will be signposted lower in built-up areas and school zones.
Some highways here – and in Arizona as a whole – have HOV lanes. These are for high occupancy vehicles and you shouldn’t drive in them unless you have at least one passenger in the car with you. Another rule to look out for is that you can make a right turn at intersections even when the traffic lights are red.
Interstate 10 is the main freeway bisecting Phoenix, running east to west through much of the city before heading south to Tucson and then on into New Mexico, Texas and, if you’re really planning a road trip, all the way to Florida. Head west on it and you’ll reach its end in Los Angeles. Interstate 17 will take you north, cutting through the Coconino National Forest before arriving in Flagstaff. From here you can take the 180 for the Grand Canyon.
When it comes to nicknames, ‘Valley of the Sun’ builds up expectations of year-round rays. And Phoenix doesn’t disappoint - there are over 300 sunny days a year here. Phoenix is a city that’s perfect for discovering on four wheels, with great areas of natural beauty, leading museums and theatres, while there’s more than a hint of Mexican flavour in the architecture and food.
There are few places in the world to rival the Heard Museum for American Indian art, both modern and old, and the story it tells about the Native American experience through exhibitions. Since opening in 1929 it has become an important centre for ceramics, fine art, spirit dolls and pottery, while the Heard also works closely with local tribes. There are plenty of kid-friendly interactive exhibits too.
If you have time, there’s a wealth of other museums that will give you a taste of south-western life. The Phoenix Art Museum may boast work by Monet, but it also has a gallery dedicated to depictions of the Arizona landscape. The Arizona Museum of Natural History is a great place to learn about archaeology, see their local exhibits and, perhaps best of all, explore the magnificent Dinosaur Hall. With a unique Musical Instrument Museum and the play-centric Children’s Museum of Phoenix also in town, you’re not short of options.
If you’d rather be outside in the sunshine, the Desert Botanical Garden is a beautifully cultivated space with tens of thousands of plants, a wide variety of cacti but also inventive sculpture and well-crafted nature trails. It’s a place that comes alive at light when they light up the gardens, while there’s a rotating schedule of musical performances including blues, Latin, folk-rock, jazz and more. You can eat here too. Gertrude’s focusses on seasonal menus with herbs grown on site. Think bison tenderloin with yucca croquettes, crop rotation risotto or lollipop kale with fermented chilli – all washed down with a truly memorable sunset.
There’s so much incredible landscape here, you’ll want to really feel the benefit of car hire at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport by driving beyond the city. Flagstaff is a lively city, the Grand Canyon a must-see, and Mesa also alluring. But a perfect place to cool off outdoors is at Lake Havasu City, three hours from Phoenix. This man-made lake has serene beaches and family activities, but also offers fishing, boating, off-road driving, golf, restaurants and shops and, during winter, even ice skating at the original London Bridge. The latter was taken apart in London, each stone numbered, shipped via the Panama Canal and reconstructed here, opening in 1971. You can camp nearby, or just visit for the day before heading back to Phoenix.
With the rugged desert landscape surrounding you, glorious sunshine, wonderful museums and no shortage of attractions for solo-travellers, couples and families, you can see why Phoenix is growing in popularity as a place to visit.
Easy experience but took a while to get out of the garage

Really nice woman working at airport pick up: took care of details and made sure we had water. Phoenix airport is a bit overwhelming, traffic-wise. Check out was smooth.
Hertz Customer
(Translated by Google) I was served nicely and the prices are OK. The cars have between a few 100 and over 60,000 miles on them. (Original) Ich wurde nett bedient und die Preise sind OK. Die Autos haben zwischen wenigen 100 bis über 60.000 Meilen runter.

Took awhile to check out today. Apparently there were problems with the computers
Hertz Customer
A valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence must be presented at the time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended. In all cases, a valid driver's license issued from your home country must be provided, whether or not you possess an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to rent a Hertz vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.
International customers renting in the U.S. are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.
Mobile/Digital Driver License
A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and Hertz customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.
Rental of a 15-passenger van in California requires a commercial driver’s license to transport a non-profit group or for commercial use. The commercial driver’s license requirement does not apply to personal use. 15- passenger vans may not be used to transport passengers for hire.
Rentals have a grace period of 29 minutes.
Optional coverages do not have hourly charges/grace period, but are charged as a full day.
Extra hour charges will be incurred at the 30 minute mark if the vehicle is returned more than 29 minutes past the original rental time.
If renting in California:
Hertz provides no liability protection under the terms of the Rental Agreement to the renter from claims of injury by others against you resulting from an accident. Your personal/business insurance may cover your liability. Exceptions: Hertz will provide primary liability protection up to the statutory minimum limits to international customers (driver's license indicates an address outside the USA) renting in California. Please also refer to Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) below.
If renting in Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia:
Upon signing the Rental Agreement, Hertz provides primary liability protection. However, such protection is generally no more than the minimum limits required by individual state law. See Financial Responsibility Limits by State.
If renting in any other state in the U.S.A.:
Hertz' liability protection is secondary to any other insurance coverage available to you. If you do not have liability insurance and/or the limits of liability of the insurance coverage available to you are not sufficient to cover claims by others against you, and Hertz, as the vehicle owner, provides liability protection due to an accident, you will indemnify Hertz for any and all payments made.
However, Hertz makes available additional liability protection, which is primary, if the optional Liability Insurance Supplement, LIS, is purchased.
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS)
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) provides coverage for you and other authorized operators of your rental vehicle for third party claims.
LIS is primary protection to customer’s personal policy and provides the first $1,000,000.00 of combined bodily injury and/or property damage protection for each occurrence regardless of the state in which the accident occurs. On rentals in California and Florida the maximum combined single limit is $2,000,000.00 for liability protection only.
LIS provides up to $1,000,000.00 of Uninsured/Underinsured protection for bodily injury sustained while driving the rental vehicle.
There are some exclusions to this coverage, which we feel you should know. Under LIS, in the event of an accident, you will not be protected for third party liability:
LIS is third party liability coverage only, except where permitted by law or pertaining to Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. LIS does not cover personal injury to you or any authorized operator of the rental vehicle or to your or their family members who are related by blood, marriage or adoption and reside in your or their household.
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
In most states, in the event of any other loss or damage to the car, regardless of fault, your financial responsibility extends to the full value of the car at the time of rental, less its salvage value, plus expenses for towing, storage impound fees, an administrative fee and a reasonable charge for loss of use. If your responsibility differs in the state in which you rent, it will be stated in Paragraph 4, of the Rental Agreement. In California, in the event of any loss or damage to the car regardless of fault, your financial responsibility will in no event exceed the fair market value, plus actual charges for towing, storage, impound fees, and an administrative fee. In California and Nevada, your responsibility for loss or damage to the car from vandalism unrelated to theft will not exceed $500.00 in California and $2,500.00 in Nevada and you are not responsible for theft, regardless of purchasing LDW, unless the theft results from your fault.. In Illinois, your responsibility for loss or damage for any cause other than theft is limited to $15,500.00. Loss or damage related to theft is limited to $2,000.00, unless the theft results from your fault. In New York, your financial responsibility shall not exceed (i) the actual and reasonable costs that Hertz incurs to repair the car, including costs for towing, storage and impound fees or that Hertz would have incurred if the car was repaired or (ii) the fair market value of the car immediately before the damages occurred, as determined by the applicable market for the retail saleof the car less disposal proceeds. Your responsibility for theft of the car shall not exceed the reasonable costs incurred by Hertz for loss due to theft up to its fair market value, if it is established that you or any authorized operator failed to exercise reasonable care or aided or abetted in the theft.
F.Y.I. – You are under no obligation to purchase LDW or any other optional service as a condition of rental. Your own personal insurance may provide protection for loss or damage to the rental vehicle depending on the state in which you live and the type of policy you have. Also, various credit card companies provide cardholders with some degree of damage protection providing you use their credit card for the rental and decline the optional LDW offered by Hertz at time of rental. The coverage and limits vary. Your policy or credit card coverage should be thoroughly checked for the specific terms and conditions associated with rental vehicles. Remember, most credit card insurance is supplemental, which means it will only reimburse you for loss or damages over and above what is covered by any other insurance you may have and will not cover you for any damage, regardless of cause, if you accept LDW.
Adding LDW after car is on rental:
You may not change the option once the rental has begun, without returning the car and starting a new rental agreement. This will result in the contract being closed out and charges being assessed for the time the vehicle is kept at least 1-day minimum, and a new rental contract will begin.
Cancellation of LDW - New York rentals only:
On New York rentals only, LDW may be cancelled at no charge, within 24 hours of its purchase provided the renter (i) has rented the car for 2 or more days; (ii) appears in person at any Hertz rental location with the car, which shall be subject to inspection.

Personal Effects Coverage (PEC)
Personal Effects Coverage (PEC), offered in combination with PAI, is an option that insures against risk of loss or damage to help protect your personal belongings while renting from Hertz. By electing PEC you will be insured throughout the entire rental period. PEC is insurance protection and pays in addition to any other policy you may have (such as a Homeowner’s policy). However, your benefits provided by other coverage may be affected by the PEC benefit. PEC insurance coverage includes those personal effects owned by you and those members of your immediate family traveling with you during the rental period who are permanent residents of your household. PEC does not extend to non-family members traveling with you.
Coverage Per Person | Minimum | Maximum |
New York & Washington | $600 | $1,800 |
Deductible for All Other States | $250 | $250 |
