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.
Medium hire cars in Gilbert are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about hiring a car in Gilbert
What type of car is recommended for driving in Gilbert?
One of the most popular car rentals in Gilbert is the convertible, which allows you to fully enjoy the area’s dry and sunny weather. Convertibles are also a good choice if you’ll be doing most of your driving in the city because they fit well in the city parking spots and busy streets. If your plans include spending time driving in the more rugged parks and mountains surrounding the city, an SUV may be more up your alley. SUVs have the added advantage of extra room to store backpacks and other gear for the adventurous traveler.
What’s the speed limit in Gilbert?
Although Arizona highways have maximum speed limits of 65mph (and for limited rural stretches of interstates, the limit is 75mph), the maximum speed for Phoenix-area highways is 55mph. Off the interstates, most major roads in Gilbert have a maximum speed of 45mph, and the speed limit in residential areas is 25mph. Motorists should be alert when traveling along one of Arizona’s Safety Corridors, where there is additional police coverage to enforce speed limits and other traffic laws.
Where are the best places to park in Gilbert?
Finding a parking spot for your Gilbert car rental is not a problem, as parking throughout the city is plentiful and free. In the Heritage District (Gilbert’s downtown area), the parking options include two parking garages, several lots and on-street parking, and all of these options are free for drivers. If you’re planning to visit Phoenix, expect to pay as much as $20 per day to park in one of the garages or lots, or around $1.50 per hour if you park in a metered spot.

Fantastic customer service!! I had to call ahead a few times with some questions and every time I received wonderful customer service. I would like to give Jeremy and Julian a shout out. They answered all of my questions and were so nice about it! It's very rare to get that genuine and refreshing level of customer service these days. Thank you to them. Also, Devin. He helped us with picking up the car. He gave up different car options, was thorough, easy going, knowledgeable, and super helpful. The pickup and drop off process was so easy. It was such a great experience from start to finish. This location is now our new go-to place!! Oh, and I can't forget to mention the incredible prices!! They beat everywhere I looked. Thank you so much for such a pleasant experience. Highly recommend and will recommend to anyone we know! Thanks again!

we made a reservation for a mid size auto a Malibu. I had a printout of all the Enterprise reservation information that had the enterprise address on 1140 north Gilbert road chandler Arizona. it listed my correct email and phone number, and my correct name. it listed the Chevy Malibu and the rate quoted. It had the correct dates. Everything was correct on the printout and confirmed. However the staff at the Enterprise location had nothing on file, just my email. They did not reserve an auto for us and offered a truck which would not work. They said we had to use another vehicle for added charge. We had no choice but to take the auto and pay much more than quoted. They also charged a significant fee for an added driver that we felt was excessive.

The people in the office seemed preoccupied with other things. It took over an hour for us to get the car and then when we dropped it off the only person working didn’t leave her office in the back area and yelled for me to come back there to drop off the keys
