KAYAK’s top tips for hiring 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 car hire in Flagstaff at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate hire cars in Flagstaff are around 47% more expensive than other car types, on average

Pros:
Nothing I couldn’t even pick up my rental and they had my reservation canceledCons:
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!6.0 Okay

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.9.6 Wonderful
