KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gilbert
- Car rentals in Gilbert make it easy to navigate the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area when visiting the city. Gilbert is about 18 miles from the airport (a 22min drive), which is near the center of Phoenix. With a car, you can easily access Phoenix attractions like the Phoenix Zoo & Desert Botanical Garden, the many professional golf courses, and CityScape, the downtown shopping and entertainment center. You can also explore the parks and nature preserves in the areas surrounding Gilbert, such as Camelback Mountain and South Mountain Park and Preserve, or take a day trip to the new-age mecca of Sedona, which is about 2h 15min north of Gilbert.
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is a major airport with three passenger terminals. The Car Rental Center is in a separate building at 1805 E Sky Harbor Circle, just west of I-10. A free shuttle runs between the airport terminals and the Car Rental Center, stopping frequently near the baggage claim areas of the terminals.
- Like the rest of the Greater Phoenix area, the roads of Gilbert are laid out in a grid pattern, making the city easy to navigate. That said, some streets can be challenging to drive on. For example, Val Vista Drive has several dangerous intersections, so use caution when driving on this route through Gilbert. If you’ll be driving in Phoenix, you’ll want to keep an eye out for pedestrians stepping into traffic, as jaywalking is an issue in the more congested areas of the city.
- Fortunately, roads in Gilbert are not especially congested. However, if your plans involve traveling within the Phoenix city limits, you’d be well-served to avoid traveling in rush hour, especially in the mornings between 7am and 9am and the evenings between 5pm and 6pm. If you are visiting Gilbert at the end of the summer, you should be aware of the seasonal heavy rainstorms (called monsoons) and intense dust storms (called haboobs), both of which involve high winds and low visibility. If you find yourself driving in a monsoon or haboob, it is best to pull over and safely wait out the storm.
- Book your car hire in Gilbert at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate car hire in Gilbert are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
They told us the tank was full, it was below half. When I tried to call the location, no answer. We had to return it with a full tank or risk paying ten dollars a gallon. Also the gas tank cover had been rigged closed, when we got gas it would not shut all the way. We again tried to call the location and no answer.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff seemed overwhelmed with the two staffers which took some time to be attended on site and when i called them up to extend my rental contract through the end of October as I was on hold for almost one hour and my call was also terminated so I called them right back until someone answered my call.Cons:
Be honest with the actual time frames, leaving someone unattended and on hold for such a long time is simply not good at all.10,0 Wonderful

Nov 2020
Pros:
The staff was very friendly and helpful - even when I arrived very close to 6 pm. The vehicle was clean and in great shape, the paperwork was fast and easy to complete.Cons:
It could have been catastrophic that I rented a van, but a large SUV was cheerfully presented to me when I arrived as though I would consider it an upgrade; the van came back damaged. When you need a van, you need a van so I think a customer should be called about something like this and given the chance to say fine, I'll take the SUV or please find and get me a van from a nearby location. I worked with the SUV but it was a startling surprise. Also, I didn't like the street I had to leave my car on much - not visible to Enterprise due to a wall or bushes, and it was dark.8,8 Very Good
